This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former SpaceX employees are accusing executives at the company of discrimination against women, according to California civil rights complaints viewed by Bloomberg.
Seven former employees say SpaceX execs joked about sexual harassment and fired workers for raising concerns, Bloomberg reported.
Representatives for SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
SpaceX didn't respond to Bloomberg's inquiries but has denied wrongdoing in a previous case bought by the workers, it wrote.
Per Bloomberg, these California workers were fired in 2022 after they circulated a draft of an open letter critical of CEO Elon Musk.
The letter stated that Musk's behavior in public was "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment," according to a New York Times report.
