"SpaceX Safety Concerns: Elon Musk's Dislike of Bright Colors Puts Workers at Risk"

TL;DR Summary
A Reuters investigation has revealed a "lax" safety culture at SpaceX, with concerns raised by current and former employees. CEO Elon Musk's dislike of bright colors has reportedly led to safety issues, as workers were discouraged from wearing safety vests and certain machines were painted black or blue instead of industrial safety yellow. The investigation also found that areas of danger were not properly cordoned off, leading to injuries. Since 2014, there have been at least 600 injuries, including nine head injuries, at SpaceX. The relaxed safety culture is attributed in part to Musk's obsession with reaching Mars.
