Elon Musk's Unusual Request: No Safety Clothes for SpaceX Workers

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, has been accused by employees of discouraging the use of yellow-colored safety clothes because he doesn't like bright colors. Reuters' investigation revealed that SpaceX has had at least 600 previously unreported worker injuries since 2014, including eight accidents resulting in amputations. Some former supervisors also claimed that Musk had machinery repainted to black or blue and instructed workers not to wear yellow safety vests when he was on site. This report follows an open letter from SpaceX employees last year criticizing Musk's behavior as a "source of distraction and embarrassment."
