SpaceX has launched a legal challenge against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), claiming that the agency's structure violates the U.S. Constitution. This action follows a complaint from the NLRB accusing SpaceX of unlawfully dismissing eight employees. These employees had composed and shared an open letter raising workplace issues, including criticism of CEO Elon Musk

Tesla has recently adjusted the range estimates for several of its electric vehicle models in the United States, notably affecting the Model Y, Model S, and Model X. The changes, as reported by Electrek, include a reduction in the estimated range for various trims, with some models experiencing a decrease of up to six percent. These modifications have not been applied to Tesla's listings in the UK and EU.

The U.S. Space Force's seventh mission of the X-37B orbital test vehicle (OTV), launched last week, is shrouded in mystery. This Boeing-built spacecraft's purpose, payload, and destination remain largely undisclosed. Michelle Parker, Boeing's vice president of space mission systems, stated, “The technological advancements we’re driving on X-37B will benefit the broader space community, especially as we see increased interest in space sustainability. We are pushing innovation and capability that will influence the next generation of spacecraft.”

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleges that SpaceX's firing of employees was a direct response to their circulating a letter critical of Elon Musk's public statements and the company's handling of sexual harassment allegations. This letter, a collective effort by a segment of SpaceX's workforce exceeding 13,000, called for a clear distancing from Musk's controversial social media activity and a consistent enforcement of harassment policies. This action by the employees reflects a broader concern about the influence of executive behavior on company culture and the need for transparent and equitable workplace practices. The NLRB's complaint underscores the importance of these issues, positioning the case within the larger context of employee rights and corporate accountability.
