Elon Musk's SpaceX has been sued by a female former employee who claims the rocket and satellite company pays and promotes women and minorities less than white men. Former SpaceX engineer Ashley Foltz filed the proposed class action in California state court on Tuesday, saying the company paid her $92,000 per year while men with similar duties and qualifications were paid up to $115,000. California law prohibits employers from paying workers less than colleagues who perform 'substantially similar work' based on their sex, race or ethnicity.

- Elon Musk's SpaceX has been sued by a female former employee who claims the rocket and satellite company pays and promotes women and minorities less than white men.

Foltz said she discovered the discrepancy when SpaceX posted job openings for engineering positions with a salary range of $95,000 to $115,000. A California "pay transparency" law took effect this year requiring employers to post salary ranges in job listings. The U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint in August accusing SpaceX of refusing to hire refugees and asylees who lack U.S. citizenship. SpaceX has denied wrongdoing and last month filed a counter-suit seeking to block the government's case.
