SpaceX illegally fired eight employees who criticized CEO Elon Musk in an open letter, a National Labor Relations Board regional director alleged in a complaint filed against the company today.

"Today, the NLRB Regional Director in Region 31 (Los Angeles) issued a consolidated complaint against SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA, covering eight unfair practice charges," the NLRB said in a statement provided to Ars. "The complaint alleges that the employer unlawfully discharged eight employees who drafted and distributed an open letter detailing workplace concerns."
