Employees of the SpaceX company suffered more than 600 industrial injuries due to Elon Musk’s desire to fly to Mars and safety violations, Reuters wrote, citing official data from US government agencies and information received from victims.

“Reuters’ investigative reporting unit found that Musk’s company neglected safety regulations at dangerous missile and space facilities in the United States. Employees paid a high price for it. Based on interviews with them and government data, SpaceX has been operating since 2014.” “We have documented at least 600 workplace injuries suffered by employees,” Reuters wrote, adding that the number of cases was known but the total was not disclosed.

In most cases we are talking about serious injuries or even disability. Reuters documented at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries at Musk’s rocket company: broken limbs, amputations, electric shocks, head and eye injuries and one death. SpaceX employees say they are paying the price for the billionaire’s desire to quickly colonize space.

More than a hundred people lost their lives, and about thirty people had broken or dislocated bones and crushed limbs. All this happened due to disorder in the workplace, lack of vocational training, overwork, non-compliance with safety rules and haste.

As Reuters noted, SpaceX believes employees themselves should be responsible for safety. However, employees confirm that Elon Musk often neglects safety requirements. According to the agency, SpaceX began building rockets in tents on the bare shore of the Gulf of Mexico in order to speed up production and reduce costs.
