Elon Musk’s SpaceX has fired employees who took part in writing and sharing an open letter criticizing the billionaire chief executive of the rocket company, according to multiple news reports, amid a string of allegations and public rebukes against Musk as scrutiny intensifies over his efforts to buy Twitter. The open letter comes a month after an Insider report alleging Musk exposed himself to a SpaceX flight attendant on the firm’s jet. It marks the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the outspoken billionaire as he faces renewed scrutiny while trying to close a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter. In his first address to the social media firm’s board, Musk declined to rule out layoffs and said only “exceptional” workers would be allowed to work remotely.

He has been censured by regulators for his tweets in the past and sued for allegedly misleading investors by a Twitter shareholder. Musk was also sued this week for allegedly manipulating the price of dogecoin, a meme-based cryptocurrency, on Twitter in a deliberate “crypto pyramid scheme.”$201 billion. That’s the estimated net worth of Musk, according to Forbes’ real-time tracker. His fortune shrunk by $14.2 billion on Thursday as shares of his electric carmaker Tesla dropped by nearly 9%.
