SpaceX employees are circulating a letter that urges company executives to condemn CEO Elon Musk's public behavior. The letter was reported today and published in full by The Verge, which said it was shared Wednesday "in an internal SpaceX Microsoft Teams channel with more than 2,600 employees."

The letter says executives should "publicly address and condemn Elon's harmful Twitter behavior."
