The internal letter called Musk, who is known for his controversial statements, a “distraction and embarrassment”. The employees demanded that SpaceX distance itself from Musk.
Musk continues to make headlines
Most recently, the 50-year-old made headlines with his criticism of the home office and dismissal of sexual harassment allegations. The latter had caused a lot of unrest at SpaceX internally.
