"Federal Agency Accuses SpaceX of Retaliatory Firings Over Criticism of Elon Musk"
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a complaint against SpaceX, alleging that the company illegally fired eight employees for circulating an open letter criticizing CEO Elon Musk's social media behavior and calling for the company to distance itself from Musk's personal brand. The NLRB claims SpaceX interfered with employees' rights under the National Labor Relations Act, including surveillance of protected activities and implied threats of termination. Remedies sought include managerial training on the act and apologies to the fired employees, with a hearing scheduled for March 5. SpaceX has yet to respond publicly to the complaint.
