A new lawsuit served against Elon Musk was dropped Wednesday, alleging the CEO of sexual harassment and retaliation brought forth by eight former SpaceX engineers.
There are also complaints against the CEO for alleged unlawful termination against the same ex-employees of the company, with both suits talking about his demeanor in the workplace.
It is known that the tech CEO is currently facing various lawsuits from Tesla shareholders, including X's recent fiasco in Australia.

This included sexual photographs, memes, and statements against women and the LGBTQ+ community according to eight former SpaceX engineers who filed the lawsuit.

According to Engadget, this same group of employees is also known for previously filing complaints to the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) late last year.
The former SpaceX engineers also revealed before that Musk's behavior is 'problematic,' and the previous open letter they made was what led to them getting the ax, with the group believing that it was a retaliation to their callout.
SpaceX is known for previously suing the NLRB in January, claiming that they are 'unconstitutional.'
Elon Musk's Scrutinies
Musk is known for many achievements in the world of tech, but also for the scrutiny that he faced over the years regarding his many controversies and online activities for a long time now. Recently, it is known that the billionaire faced an inquiry over at X for allegedly 'amplifying disinformation' on the social media network, following the Fico shooting.
Additionally, there was the court hearing of the long disputed pay package of the top executive over at Tesla, centering on his $56 billion reward for his work over the years. Tesla shareholders are known for being against this massive payout to the executives, and there were significant moves from either side regarding why or why not he should receive this compensation.
Previous scrutinies also include the infamous 'funding secured' tweet from years ago regarding Tesla going private and significantly hurting investors and shareholders.
Now, the latest lawsuit from former SpaceX engineers directly points to Musk's behavior towards his employees, with the group complaining about the sexual harassment, retaliation, and his termination of them to light.
