Reuters documented 600+ previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket co: crushed limbs, amputations, electrocutions, head & eye wounds & 1 death. SpaceX employees say they’re paying price for the billionaire’s push to colonize space at breakneck speed

So Tesla didn't file accident reports that OSHA also uses to prioritize inspections for YEARS, and that by its itself didn't trigger inspection or some action. Unbelievable.

The man is a menace to society. People must wean themselves off Xitter, Tesla, & Solar City as quickly as possible. Like conserving energy, we do our part, no matter how little. Together we make a difference. United against Musk, the mouthpiece of MAGA, the force of death threat rule. No Musk pls.

This is horrific. 3 of my great-granny’s brothers who went to the US were killed within 3 years, building out subways, electrical grids, and mineshafts. Past a certain point, “accidents” are deliberate choices. Workers’ lives are not expendable. Nor are the lives of people in and near Teslas.

There’s no point going to Mars. You can’t live there long term, there’s too much radiation. Establishing any kind of colony there is a non- starter.

"OSHA has required companies to report their total number of injuries annually since 2016, but SpaceX facilities failed to submit reports for most of those years." And they can't be legally forced to? Do they face no sanction or fine for that? Wtf...

Im not a Musk fan, but this is poor reporting The headline is conflating “unreported” in the news as unreported to the authorities SpaceX’s numbers are then compared to companies that do little manufacturing. Compared to other aerospace the numbers are on par or below average

"colonize space at breakneck speed" that alone should be the warning. Necks breaking (and all other injuries) are a possible outcome of our mission!
