'We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism,' SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell wrote in a company-wide email about the letter.
SpaceX has fired at least five employees involved in circulating a letter around the company that was critical of CEO Elon Musk, two people familiar with the company told CNBC.
The open letter was circulated and signed by an unknown number of SpaceX employees earlier this week. Musk is the controlling shareholder of the privately held company, with his trust owning about 78% of SpaceX's voting shares as of last year. SpaceX has fired at least five employees who were involved with circulating a letter around the company that was critical of CEO, according to two people familiar with the company who declined to be named and an internal email from President and COO Gwynne Shotwell.
Shotwell, in a companywide email Thursday, said SpaceX"terminated a number of employees involved" and called"blanketing thousands of people across the company with repeated unsolicited emails" unacceptable, according to copies of the email obtained by CNBC.
