Musk has been cavalier about safety regulations.
American billionaire Elon Musk's aerospace company SpaceX did not record hundreds of work-related injuries.
This is stated in a Reuters investigation .
One such injury in 2014 killed former Marine Lonnie LeBlanc, 38. The man tried to press down the foam parts with his weight while transporting them on a truck. As a result, he fell, hit his head on the pavement, and was pronounced dead.
It is noted that during the investigation, at least 600 such injuries were identified. Among them are cuts and lacerations, fractures and amputations of limbs, electric shock, head and eye injuries.
The workers themselves said that Musk’s intention to colonize space as quickly as possible is being realized with amazing speed by the sacrifices of his workers.
The publication also writes that Musk himself showed carelessness regarding safety rules. For example, he “played” with life-threatening equipment. Moreover, they also talk about cases where workers were prohibited from wearing protective yellow clothing because Max “does not like bright colors.”
“In January 2022, as a result of a series of violations during a test of the Raptor V2 rocket engine, a part flew off and pierced the head of SpaceX employee Francisco Cabada, leaving him in a coma. The victim’s wife told Reuters that “the company ignored the family’s attempts to find out why he was not protected.” , and expressed the opinion that for the company’s management, “workers are simply disposable,” the report said.
Despite these reported accidents, SpaceX did not file reports of workplace injuries. At the same time, the company itself did not answer Reuters questions, the agency noted.
