Friendly fire
letter to SpaceX employee Elon Musk, noticed by The Verge, was sent to SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell. It is not yet known how many employees signed it, but it seems to have managed to provoke an internal reaction with hundreds of replies and many employees confirming the message.
In a statement in the letter sent to the executives, “Elon Musk’s behavior in the public sphere has become a frequent distraction and embarrassment for us, especially in recent weeks.”
SpaceX employees stated that they were uncomfortable with the company’s most visible name and SpaceX’s face behaving in this way. According to the letter, every tweet Elon Musk shared seems like a public share of the company, and this is a big problem that needs to be resolved.
Open call to SpaceX employees and potential talent pool: It is vital to convey that Elon Musk’s statements do not reflect our business, mission or values.
Staff also made several requests from Elon Musk. They wanted the ‘insulting messages’ to be removed from SpaceX and the ‘zero tolerance’ rules to be applied equally to all employees.
SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell supported Musk in a company-wide email. Thinking that the accusations are wrong, Shotwell stated that Musk’s statements reflect his individual opinions. Still, let’s remind that Elon Musk remains silent.
