Overview

  • A SpaceX employee, Michelle Dopak, has filed a lawsuit against the company alleging sexual discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
  • Dopak claims she was coerced into a sexual relationship by her supervisor, who then offered her $100,000 to have an abortion, which she declined.
  • The lawsuit accuses SpaceX of underpaying women, failing to promote them, and retaliating against those who complain.
  • SpaceX is facing several lawsuits, including a proposed class action for discrimination against women and minorities, and a lawsuit from the Department of Justice for hiring discrimination.
  • SpaceX has not yet responded to the allegations, and the company is also involved in legal disputes over its handling of employee complaints and the National Labor Relations Board.
