Elon Musk's companies are facing significant legal and civil rights issues. A Delaware court has rescinded Musk's $56 billion Tesla compensation package, prompting Musk to propose a shareholder vote to relocate Tesla's incorporation to Texas. SpaceX, a federal contractor receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from the government, is being investigated by a California civil rights agency following allegations of sex discrimination, retaliation, and sexual harassment. Ex-employees have filed complaints, with one detailing an incident of inappropriate behavior by a colleague. In addition to these issues, SpaceX is engaged in an escalating legal battle with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which the company claims is a distraction from its critical missions, including defense and intelligence launches and NASA astronaut flights.

In a motion in its lawsuit against the NLRB, SpaceX argued that being subjected to an NLRB hearing “distracts from its important missions, including launching satellites critical to US defense and intelligence agencies and flying NASA astronauts to space.” https://t.co/Hi3czyTleE https://t.co/fDFigbRR39

Fired for speaking up about sexual harassment @SpaceX. Reminder: SpaceX is a federal contractor receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from our government all while apparently violating federal employment laws. https://t.co/OLDVKuEl8n
