Elon Musk and SpaceX Sued Over Alleged Illegal Firings of Engineers Who Accused Him of Sexism

A lawsuit has been filed by eight former SpaceX employees, including four women and four men, who claim they were illegally fired from their jobs for raising concerns about alleged sexual harassment and discrimination against women. The engineers, who wrote an open letter in 2022 criticizing CEO Elon Musk's leadership and calling for a more inclusive company culture, allege that Musk ordered their termination after they circulated the letter. The lawsuit claims that Musk wants to be seen as "the leader to a brave new world of space travel," but instead has created a toxic work environment.
