A Black technician is suing SpaceX for workplace discrimination, alleging he was fired for tardiness while caring for his daughter, who was recovering from a heart transplant.
L’Tavious Rice, 38, claims that Elon Musk’s rocket company ignored white workers’ lateness—even manipulating time records to hide it—yet fired him for being late.
“Space X turned a blind eye to several white co-workers showing up late, or failing to show up at all,” Rice’s attorney, Stephanie Perez, told The Independent. “We believe supervisors manipulated time entries to erase co-workers’ late clock-ins, concealing the tardiness. The same grace was not extended to Mr. Rice.”
