"SpaceX Challenges NLRB, Claims Unconstitutional Actions in Labor Dispute"
SpaceX has filed a lawsuit against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to halt the progress of a complaint alleging the company illegally fired eight employees who criticized Elon Musk's social media conduct. SpaceX contends that the NLRB's structure is unconstitutional and that its use of administrative judges denies the company the right to a jury trial. The employees were terminated after writing an open letter that called Musk's behavior on social media a distraction and embarrassment. This legal move mirrors SpaceX's previous strategy of suing to block administrative cases, as seen with the Department of Justice's accusation of discriminatory hiring practices.
