on June 17, according to three informed employees, as of Thursday local time in the United States, the Rocket Company SpaceX had laid off many employees because they helped write and distribute an open letter condemning the "eccentric behavior" of CEO elonmusk

since Wednesday, this open letter has been circulated among SpaceX employees, condemning Musk's acquisition of twitter. The letter called Musk's public behavior and tweeting "often distracting and embarrassing", and asked the company to restrict him. Musk is currently working to complete the $44billion acquisition of twitter

the open letter also requires other leaders of SpaceX to "publicly respond to and condemn Musk's harmful behaviors on twitter", clarify all forms of "unacceptable behaviors" and give countermeasures

according to the statements of three employees and an e-mail from Gwynne shotwell, President and chief operating officer of SpaceX, as of Thursday afternoon local time, SpaceX had dismissed many employees who helped write and distribute this letter

schotteville confirmed in an email that SpaceX had conducted an investigation and "dismissed many employees related to this letter". She wrote: "this letter makes employees feel uncomfortable. They feel intimidated and bullied. Many people are angry because many of the contents in this letter do not reflect their views. We have too much key work to complete and do not need this excessive radicalism."

in his e-mail to employees, schotteville wrote, "it is unacceptable for thousands of people in the company to continue to receive unauthorized e-mails during their work, asking them to sign the letters and fill in the so-called voluntary questionnaire. Please focus on the task of SpaceX and work as hard as you can in your time. This is the way we get to Mars."

it is not clear how many employees have been dismissed. SpaceX spokesman James Gleeson did not immediately respond to a request for comment

the above three employees said that musk was rarely challenged by the company's employees in SpaceX. Earlier this month, he sent a notification email by email, requiring employees to work in the office for at least 40 hours or face dismissal

before this open letter was sent, Musk's allegations of sexual misconduct were recently exposed. Previously, he had been sued by government regulators and individuals for tweeting. (small)

spacex employees sent an open letter condemning musk: some behaviors were embarrassing

spacex employees issued an open letter to the company's internal communication system, asking the company's leadership to implement some measures to ensure that the actual "system and culture" of SpaceX conforms to its "established values". The letter specifically pointed out Elon Musk's behavior on Twitter and the way he used the platform to respond to a sexual harassment charge made against him by an accuser in May

the letter claimed that its author was "an employee with different gender, race, seniority and technical roles", and called on the leadership of SpaceX to "publicly deal with and condemn elong's harmful behavior on twitter" in order to "clearly separate from elong's personal brand"

it also requires the leadership to fully assume the same responsibilities and treat the employee culture with "the same strictness and urgency", just as the company is correcting the hardware errors that led to SpaceX space flight activities. Finally, it seems that SpaceX's so-called "No Asshole" and "zero tolerance" policies applicable to employee behavior standards have been better defined and implemented

in the past week, musk was criticized for publicly supporting newly elected congressman Mayra Flores on twitter. Mayra Flores, a Republican in Texas, was accused of being related to the right-wing conspiracy theory organization qanon, and insisted that his political inclination was "moderate"

the full text of the letter is as follows:

an open letter to senior executives of SpaceX

in view of the recent allegations against our CEO and his public disparagement of the situation, we would like to provide feedback on how these events have affected our company's reputation and, through it, our mission. Employees of different gender, race, seniority and technical roles cooperated to write this letter. We believe that in order to effectively achieve our company's main objectives, we must maintain an honest and open dialogue with each other: make SpaceX a good place for everyone to work, and make humans a multi planetary species

as employees of SpaceX, we are expected to challenge the established process, innovate quickly, solve complex problems in a team way, and take failure as an opportunity to learn. The commitment to these ideals is fundamental to our identity and at the heart of our redefinition of the industry. However, despite all our technical achievements, SpaceX failed to apply these principles to promote diversity, fairness and inclusiveness throughout the company, resulting in the workplace culture still firmly rooted in the status quo

spacex employees and groups have made great efforts beyond their technical scope to make the company a more inclusive space through conference recruitment, public forums, feedback to the leadership, outreach and other means. However, we feel that the burden of carrying this effort is unequal because the company has not applied the appropriate urgency and resources to the problem in a manner consistent with our handling of critical path technology projects. It should be made clear that recent events are not isolated events; They represent a broader culture that underestimates the many people who have made SpaceX remarkable. As industry leaders, we have a unique responsibility to solve this problem

Elon's behavior in the public sphere often distracts us and embarrasses us, especially in recent weeks. As our CEO and the most important spokesman, Elon is regarded as the spokesman of SpaceX - every twitter sent by Elon is the company's de facto public statement. The key is to show our team and our potential talent pool that his message does not reflect our work, our mission or our values

spacex's current system and culture have not reached the value it claims, because many employees continue to experience the unequal implementation of our frequently repeated "No Asshole" and "zero tolerance" policies. This must change. As a starting point, we propose that ?
