SpaceX workers reportedly put in over 80-hour work weeks in Elon Musk's race to colonize Mars. A Reuters investigation looked at 600 work injuries at SpaceX from 2014 to present. AdvertisementAdvertisementElon Musk's rocket company, which employs about 13,000 people, had at least 600 worker injuries over the course of 9 years across its facilities, the publication reported. But, the company has responded to OSHA inquiries saying it is not liable for the worker injuries as the company gives workers safety training, Reuters reported. Reuters' report comes after some SpaceX employees wrote an open letter last year criticizing Musk's behavior as a "source of distraction and embarrassment."

Elon Musk told Neuralink staff to imagine they had bombs strapped to their heads to drive faster work, Reuters reported.
