A new lawsuit filed against Elon Musk by former SpaceX employees
Elon Musk, a target for destruction
The lawfare won’t stop until morale improves! A new lawsuit has been filed against Elon Musk by eight former SpaceX employees, who now accuse him of sexually harassing them by his sometimes pointed tweets on X, calling those tweets “juvenile, grotesque sexual banter.”
The suit also says Musk’s tweets “had the wholly foreseeable and intentional result of encouraging other employees to engage in similar conduct.”
At SpaceX’s Hawthorne offices, the suit claims, company meetings and employees mimicked Musk’s humor. At meetings, the lawsuit alleges, senior engineers called mechanical parts “chodes” and “schlongs.” A camera that was placed on the bottom of a second-stage Falcon rocket was referred to as the “Upskirt Camera,” and a structure used by astronauts to transfer from SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station was called the “Fun Tunnel,” a euphemism for anal sex.
Read the whole article. The complaints are quite hilarious. These employees need to get a life. This is all silly stuff, hardly worth even two nanoseconds of concern.
Unfortunately, these anti-Musk employees do have a life, and it is a very sad one, consumed wholly with destroying Musk, not accomplishing anything worthwhile on their own. These eight former employees are the same ones who were fired after they published an internal letter in SpaceX calling for others in the company to denounce Musk for his tweets. Following their firing they also instigated a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) suit against Musk, which is presently suspended because SpaceX is claiming the NLRB’s very existence is unconstitutional, and no further action on the complaint will occur until the courts decide on that claim.
This new lawsuit is simply another example of new harassment of Musk by these former employees.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

I always hope that one of these frivolous lawsuits becomes the tipping point for Mr. Musk and he emancipates himself from the California snowflake culture, moves his operations to a Red state, and chugs on as is his want. He won’t find equal justice or protections in the California judicial system.
And as a counterpoint to the litigants, check out this Canadian Charity and how they label body parts. A women’s cervix is to be referred to as the “Front Hole” from now on. You cannot make this stuff up.

Tom, what part of “National” in the “National Labor Relations Board” did you not understand? This is a federal lawsuit. The California Judicial system is not involved.
That said, these litigants are definitely California snowflakes, and it would be nice to dispose of the need for those, but that’s a whole ecosystem that needs to be rebuilt from the ground up to do that.
“Musk’s conduct of interjecting this juvenile, grotesque sexual banter…”

It wouldn‘t surprise me if these 8 people are being supported & encouraged by the very crooked Biden administration, with both money and direction provided directly from the White House.
Tesla shareholder meeting, Elon predicts the future that his Manny companies will combine to become trillion dollar business.
