SpaceX and its CEO Elon Musk are being sued by eight former employees who alleged that they were fired after raising concerns about sexual harassment and gender discrimination at the company.

In 2022, the eight employees wrote an open letter criticizing Musk for lewd statements he made in person and on X, formerly Twitter. The letter urged SpaceX executives to condemn Musk’s statements and other inappropriate employee behavior that they felt was clearly in violation of the company’s “No A**hole” policy. At least 400 other employees signed the letter.
