SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell sent an email saying the
company had investigated and "terminated a number of employees
involved" with the letter, the New York Times said.
It was unclear how many employees were terminated, the
report said.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
A group of SpaceX employees derided Musk as a
"distraction and embarrassment" in an internal letter to executives.
In a list of three demands, the letter says "SpaceX
must swiftly and explicitly separate itself from Elon's personal brand."
It added: "Hold all leadership equally accountable to making SpaceX a
great place to work for everyone" and "define and uniformly respond
to all forms of unacceptable behaviour." © Reuters
