A SpaceX employee says that she spent seven years working at the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California enduring sexual abuse, unequal pay, discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation, in a new lawsuit against the company. But her story paints a much graver picture than those individual words can convey, describing widespread harassment and coordinated action to not only enable but also later give cover for sexual coercion, by a man she says was her direct supervisor.

      Maybe she needed a job because this is a capitalist society and people without jobs often end up on the streets and that was the job she was best qualified for?

      Can we please stop blaming workers for who hires them and how they treat them?

      Freeways aren’t obligated to cater to pedestrians. Workplaces are obligated to foster safe environments for all employees. You can think what you want of things connected to musk but it still SpaceX’s fault at the end of the day.
