A former SpaceX security manager, Jenna Shumway, is suing the company and a senior employee, Daniel Collins, alleging discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation.
Collins, who was hired to run security compliance, is accused of violating top secret protocols and triggering federal reviews for SpaceX's security procedures.
Shumway claims that Collins harassed her and other female employees, leading to her termination in October 2024.
SpaceX has faced previous lawsuits over gender-based discrimination and harassment, with ongoing investigations by California authorities and the National Labor Relations Board.
