How brave these SpaceX employees are. A group of employees of the aerospace company wrote an internal letter to SpaceX executives that their boss Elon Musk was a nuisance as well as a disgrace.
Indeed, Elon Musk often creates controversy. Moreover, there is the drama of buying Twitter by him which seems endless, even threatened with cancellation. Then he was also suspected of sexually assaulting a flight attendant, although he denied it.
Not only that, Elon has also recently often commented on politics, for example mocking the Democrat Party for being divisive and turning to support the Republican Party.
"Elon's behavior in public has been a regular and embarrassing source of annoyance to us, especially in recent weeks," the letter read, quoted by CNBC.
"As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon Musk is seen as the face of SpaceX. Thus, every tweet sent by Elon is a de facto public statement of the company," the employees added.
It's not clear who wrote it and how many SpaceX employees took part in compiling it. The letter was shared in an internal chat group attended by thousands of employees, according to related sources.
Several demands were also filed in the letter so that Elon Musk would no longer do or comment controversially in the name of the company.
"SpaceX must clearly separate itself from Elon Musk's personal brand. All leadership must be equally accountable for making SpaceX a good place to work for everyone and respond to all forms of unacceptable behavior," the employees wrote.
