Elon Musk told SpaceX workers not to wear safety clothes because he doesn't like bright colors
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-told-spacex-workers-181406484.html
Four SpaceX workers told Reuters that Musk discouraged employees from wearing yellow-colored clothes for safety purposes because he does not like bright colors.
The employees also told the news outlet that Musk would play around with a novelty flamethrower during visits that the billionaire made to SpaceX sites.
Three former SpaceX supervisors told Reuters that Musk would have machinery painted in industrial safety yellow repainted to black or blue because of he didn't like how it looked. The ex-supervisors also said that some workers were told not to wear yellow safety vests when Musk was on site.
The investigation by Reuters found that SpaceX has had at least 600 previously unreported worker injuries since 2014, including eight accidents that led to amputations.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Insider on Friday.
Reuters' report comes after some SpaceX employees wrote an open letter last year criticizing Musk's behavior as a "source of distraction and embarrassment."
Musk has been known to run his companies with a high level of intensity, sometimes calling for work sprints and even sleeping on the factory floor at Tesla.

"Free Speech Absolutist". LOL
Elon Musk railed against shadow bans—now he’s using them on his critics
Musk is a self-appointed free speech crusader. Sometimes.

Let's see how things are going this week on Musk's hate platform as he continues to spew antisemitic crap, places advertising directly next to neo-Nazi posts, and shares revenue with leading pro-Hitler Holocaust deniers.

Company after company drops advertising on Twitter after Yaccarino did her best to have them return. In the latest hit, Apple does not see themselves advertising on X/Twitter anytime soon after their ads are spotted next to posts praising Hitler and the Nazi Party
Linda Yaccarino CEO of X might as well just add "Nazi Sympathizer" on her LinkedIn page because she is now officially unemployable.

The trend of companies stopping their advertising on X/Twitter-- after finding their ads next to neo-Nazi posts and Musk supporting antisemitic crap -- accelerates. Let's take a look...

Let's see Musk's response to Media Matters demonstrating an endless stream of screen shots showing ads from major advertisers next to neo-Nazi posts. Is he contrite and promise to fix the issue? No, I think not. Elon responds, as always, like an idiot.
Elon Musk to file ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers desert X

Shortly X/Twitter will have no major advertisers. The future in 2024 simply involves which quarter will X/Twitter miss an interest payment and be handed over to creditors. And which large hedge fund will buy the debt so they can take over Twitter.

Maybe Elon needs to learn what "oppressors" are. Advertisers which provide the large majority of your revenue are not "oppressors" -- they are customers you need to treat with respect.
