SpaceX and CEO Elon Musk hit with lawsuit by former employees over sexual harassment and discrimination concerns

The recent lawsuit filed against SpaceX and CEO Elon Musk by eight former employees has brought to light serious allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination within the company. The employees claim they were illegally fired after raising concerns about Musk’s behavior, including allegations of treating women as sexual objects, making inappropriate comments, and engaging in sexual relationships with employees.

This lawsuit comes on the heels of a Wall Street Journal report alleging Musk had sexual relationships with at least two SpaceX employees and made sexually inappropriate comments towards others. The employees who helped write an open letter criticizing Musk’s behavior in 2022 were fired, leading to the current legal action.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are seeking justice and hoping to create a better workplace environment at SpaceX. Their attorney, Anne Shaver, stated that the company knowingly fostered a culture of sexual harassment and retaliation against those who spoke out.

SpaceX has not yet responded to the allegations, but Musk has previously denied similar claims in the past. This lawsuit sheds light on the importance of addressing workplace harassment and discrimination, and the need for accountability at all levels of an organization.
