Context
OUR TAKE SpaceX, a large private space company in the United States, is valued at about $180 billion, but its employees allege that they are treated so unequally. They are brave enough to stand up and defend themselves with the weapon of the law. –Revel Cheng, BTW reporter Musk, who is the president of a private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company in the United States, was sued by fired SpaceX workers for harassment and retaliation on Wednesday.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
The suit charges Musk and SpaceX with sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination. Wednesday’s lawsuit is different from the National Labor Relations Board ( NLRB) complaint because it seeks to hold Musk personally liable for SpaceX’s workplace environment and for the terminations. Musk didn’t reponse yet. Musk intentionally created an unwelcome and hostile work environment and fostered a perversely sexist culture at SpaceX, based on his act of inserting despicable photos, memes, and comments that demean women and the LGBTQ+ community in the workplace, according to the earlier reported by Bloomberg . This is not the first group to oppose Musk’s actions. Musk had sexual relationships with two SpaceX employees, including a former intern he later hired onto his executive team. Moreover, a third woman interviewed by Journal said Musk repeatedly asked her to have a baby and complained about her work performance after she refused. She was also denied a raise.
