Elon Musk

SpaceX employees circulated an open letter condemning CEO Elon Musk and asking the company to separate from Musk's "personal brand".

SpaceX employees have recently been told by Musk that they must spend at least 40 hours in the office, or face the prospect of unemployment. "As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla, recently acquired Twitter for $44 billion, in a deal which has proved to be controversial. According to The Verge, many employees agreed with the letter, some expressing embarrassment over Musk's tweets and behavior. In particular, the letter took aim at the company's CEO and his public actions. "We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism."

SpaceX has fired employees who helped coordinate an open letter critical of chief executive Elon Musk's behavior on Twitter and other public forums.

“If I see something that’s inappropriate, the key concern to me is what is the culture that led to that inappropriateness and is NASA involved in that,” he told The Post at the time. “The absence of a CEO who doesn’t state this behavior is unacceptable emboldens people. With the firings of the SpaceX employees, at least space industry official saw an opportunity. Is the culture we are fostering now the one which we aim to bring to Mars and beyond?” Musk on Thursday met with Twitter employees for the first time in a gathering that angered staffers there anew, The Post reported. Shotwell has said repeatedly that the company does not tolerate discrimination or harassment and that she personally reviews complaints that employees are encouraged to file in an anonymous drop box. NASA didn’t release its findings, but Shotwell told reporters then that the “results came back very positive.” After the allegation of sexual harassment against Musk, Shotwell defended him in an email to employees. Musk and his companies were also served with a lawsuit Thursday for allegedly defrauding investors as part of a scheme to promote the cryptocurrency dogecoin. “The collaboration we need to make life multiplanetary is incompatible with a culture that treats employees as consumable resources,” it said later. In recent weeks, Musk has used his Twitter account to laud right-wing political figures, boost cryptocurrency and accuse the news media of liberal bias, all while sharing updates of SpaceX’s progress toward several launches. The Post has been unable to verify those allegations.

The billionaire is being sued over his alleged involvement with a scheme to inflate the crypto coin's price.

Musk has been in the news recently for his ongoing feud with a video game comedy website on Twitter. And the funniest part of that feud is how badly Musk is losing. Bloomberg reported yesterday that Musk and his companies are being sued over claims that they are part of a racketeering scheme involving the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. The potentially expensive lawsuit was filed by Keith Johnson, who claims that Musk, SpaceX, and Tesla were all part of a large-scale pyramid scheme designed to control the price of Dogecoin while also convincing people online that the cryptocurrency was a legitimate and sound investment.

The letter had asked SpaceX to “publicly address and condemn Elon's harmful Twitter behavior.” To Musk, Twitter is a megaphone, which is likely why he's trying ...

Per the agreement, a Tesla attorney screens some Musk tweets about the company, an arrangement that Musk claims violates his free speech. “Some of my most vivid memories are asking questions about the union to colleagues and being told to shut up or I’d get fired,” Crystal Guardado, a former Tesla worker, told The Guardian in 2018. She wouldn’t be the only Tesla employee penalized for speaking out on the job or for displaying an interest in unionization. After Insider reported that a SpaceX flight attendant had accused Musk of sexual harassment, Musk tweeted jokes about the allegations. At the same time, it has also uncovered the exact borders of Musk’s commitment to free speech. Yet as the SpaceX letter implies, that megaphone has also revealed an ugly side to Musk’s persona.

Musk's other big company, SpaceX, fired a group of employees who circulated an internal letter and faces a long to-do list before its Starship rocket program ...

In addressing concerns about potential layoffs, Musk said Twitter needs to get into a healthy financial state, but that "anyone who is a significant contributor has nothing to worry about," according to the person. But it first requires a launch license from the FAA, and the regulator's required mitigations amount to a significant lift before the company can request one. CNBC reported Friday that at least five employees involved in the letter were fired as a result. Please stay focused on the SpaceX mission, and use your time at work to do your best work." The regulator issued a list of more than 75 environmental mitigation actions the company must complete before it can move forward with Starship flight tests. But his answer didn't appear to calm concerns. "I would advise caution before attempting to draw conclusions based only on the data that we're releasing," NHTSA Administrator Steven Cliff said during a media event. Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration on Monday handed SpaceX's Starship rocket program a long to-do list before it can receive a launch license in Boca Chica, Texas. "I am sorry for this distraction. The Model X Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Long Range went up by $6,000. The FAA on Monday made an environmental decision that resulted in a mix of good and bad news for Musk's SpaceX, and the mammoth Starship rocket the company is developing in Texas. Electrek said the price of the Model S Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive increased by about $5,000 to $104,990.

SpaceX fires employees who complained in a letter that Elon Musk's antics were 'a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us.'

Also on Thursday, Musk held a video call with employees of Twitter to take questions in advance of his planned $43-billion purchase of the company. “The collaboration we need to make life multiplanetary is incompatible with a culture that treats employees as consumable resources,” the letter states. The paper cited an email in which SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell said the company had investigated and “terminated a number of employees” involved with the letter.

Letter called for SpaceX to make work culture more inclusive and 'define and uniformly respond to all forms of unacceptable behavior'

It added: “Hold all leadership equally accountable to making SpaceX a great place to work for everyone” and “define and uniformly respond to all forms of unacceptable behavior”. In a list of three demands, the letter said: “SpaceX must swiftly and explicitly separate itself from Elon’s personal brand.” SpaceX’s president, Gwynne Shotwell, sent an email saying the company had investigated and “terminated a number of employees involved” with the letter, the New York Times said.

In an email, Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president, said the letter had made other employees “feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied.”

In her email, which was obtained by The New York Times, she said the company had investigated and “terminated a number of employees involved” with the letter. “This is how we will get to Mars.” In May, Insider reported that a flight attendant said had Mr. Musk propositioned her for a sexual massage during a flight to London in 2016. Mr. Musk is also chief executive of Tesla, the electric automaker. Mr. Musk, who has previously been sued by a government regulator and private individuals for his tweets, founded SpaceX in 2002. “We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism.”

The problem is that that lack could adversely affect the whole world.” Not all employees left the meeting disappointed, though. Musk also clarified his stance on free-speech absolutism as it pertains to Twitter: “Freedom of speech is one thing, because, like, anyone could just go into the middle of Times Square right now and say anything they want. During the 45-minute town hall, Musk, whose approximately $44 billion bid to buy Twitter was accepted by the company’s board in April but remains on shaky ground (Musk has repeatedly made comments that make it seem like he’s trying to back out of his offer), also outlined his vision to turn the platform into the world’s town square. In an April tweet, Musk floated the idea of converting “Twitter SF HQ to homeless shelter since no one [shows] up anyway,” adding, “I’m serious about this one btw.” Over the past two months, Musk has harshly criticized Twitter’s leadership and cited the platform’s issue with spam and bot accounts as the main reason why his deal to buy the company is “temporarily on hold.” But on Thursday, he assured company employees that he loves the site, per a report from Recode. “Some people use their hair to express themselves. There’s every reason to believe that Twitter employees likely left Musk’s address with a lot more questions about the future of their workplace.
