SpaceX employees are reportedly considering sending a letter to the company’s SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell in which they want to denounce Elon Musk’s behavior.
Employees are being asked to sign a letter, either publicly or anonymously, according to the report in The Verge. Accordingly, SpaceX employees “across the spectra of gender, ethnicity, seniority, and technical roles have collaborated” and worked together to draft the letter.
The staff is concerned that Musk’s recent actions and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) remarks are negatively affecting the company’s reputation.
“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks,” the letter allegedly states.
“As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to our potential talent pool that his messaging does not reflect our work, our mission, or our values.”
The Verge added that the draft letter attracted over a hundred comments on the company’s Teams channel.
Finally, the draft letter has three recommendations for the company’s top executives to deal with Elon Musk’s problematic behavior.
