    It’s an Elon company so that checks out…

    What doesn’t check out is why the government still gave them a new contract between this and Starlink and SpaceX colluding with the Russian military against Ukraine

      The US government is getting something out of the deal they’re not talking about. Probably CALEA-like access to what’s going across the Starlink network.

    It’s owned by Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid South Africa. Now I’m not saying that The two are connected. After all, correlation does not equal causation.

    Foltz claims that she received a $92,000 annual salary while men with the same duties and qualifications received an annual salary of $115,000.

    Foltz also claims that SpaceX uses different job titles for the same position as a way to pay women and minorities less than their white or male counterparts, TechCrunch reported.

    This is an empty claim. She didn’t even have the same job titles as the people she was comparing herself against. There are a thousand reasons one person can be paid more than another. Often it’s just negotiating prowess. Often it’s the responsibility of the job title, and the risk and hours that entails. Often it’s tenure at the company, or social skills. Her claim amounts to, “pay me more because I have a vagina.” No.

        It is also an extremely practice in companies to underpay staff, especially women and minorities. This has been known for decades.

        I literally quoted that exact passage. Did you read my comment before you replied or did you just rage post when your world view was threatened?

    Like literally every other company. That doesn’t make it right, but still… there’s more criticism to be had specifically about SpaceX.
