In a fresh legal headache, Elon Musk faces a bombshell lawsuit from Douglas Altshuler, a former SpaceX employee, who was allegedly fired for taking too many bathroom breaks because of a medical condition.
According to the federal lawsuit, filed in Seattle, the aerospace giant failed to accommodate a known medical issue, which is disability discrimination. The lawsuit also alleges SpaceX is guilty of workplace retaliation. Altshuler, a 58-year-old former SpaceX technician, has Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder that often requires sudden and urgent restroom use.
