SpaceX has been accused of illegally firing eight employees for sharing an open letter that was critical of the company’s CEO Elon Musk.
According to allegations outlined in a complaint filed by a regional office of the National Labor Relations Board on Wednesday, SpaceX fired the workers in 2022 after the employees wrote and circulated a letter denouncing Musk’s behavior following sexual misconduct claims against him.

New Delhi, May 28 (Ians) SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said that the huge Starship vehicle will be ready to fly again in two months.
SpaceX also released a dramatic video recapping the first flight of starship. On April 20, the first flight test of SpaceX’s fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket, built to take humanity to the Moon, Mars and beyond, lifted off successfully.
It, however, exploded and failed to reach orbit.
“Major launchpad upgrades should be complete in about a month, then another month of rocket testing on pad, then flight 2 of Starship,” Musk said in a latest tweet.
The rocket launch had come under the US Federal Aviation Administration (Faa) scanner for reportedly spreading plumes of potentially hazardous debris endangering human lives as well as habitats of animals.
This means that before Starship’s next launch, it would need the regulator’s clean chit that the rocket will not affect public safety.
