A former SpaceX manager has filed a lawsuit against the aerospace company, accusing it of fostering a hostile work environment, retaliating against whistleblowers, and violating security protocols. The legal complaint, submitted in a California court, outlines multiple allegations of misconduct during the plaintiff's tenure at the company.
The plaintiff, whose identity remains confidential for legal reasons, claims they faced persistent harassment and discrimination based on gender and race. The lawsuit further alleges that after raising concerns about workplace safety and security violations, the manager was demoted and eventually terminated in what is described as an act of retaliation.
Among the security violations cited are claims that SpaceX ignored federal regulations regarding the handling of sensitive aerospace technology. The plaintiff asserts that these lapses could have jeopardized national security and employee safety.
SpaceX has yet to issue an official statement regarding the lawsuit. Legal experts suggest the case could draw significant attention to workplace culture and compliance practices within the private space industry. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and calls for an independent review of SpaceX's employment and security policies.
