Palo Alto/San Francisco — Labour leaders are calling for a California panel to reject a state funding request from Elon Musk’s SpaceX after the billionaire defied a San Francisco Bay area health order.
Musk “has a proven track record of enriching himself and his companies instead of being a good corporate partner”, Art Pulaski, the head of the California Labour Federation, and three other labour leaders wrote to the panel on Thursday.The closely held company reportedly raised money earlier this year at a roughly $36bn valuation, so the state funding isn’t pivotal to its future.
“He defies them at every turn and he gets his way again,” Rome Aloise, president of the Teamsters union’s council covering northern California, said in an interview on Wednesday. “Why should we be subsidising him on any level — SpaceX or Tesla?”
