FightFight's JournalMusk, SpaceX hit with sexual harassment lawsuit from 8 ex-employees. Probably he should join the Trump trans...NEVERMIND
SpaceX and CEO Elon Musk were hit on Wednesday with a lawsuit from eight former employees, who alleged they were illegally fired for raising concerns about sexual harassment and discrimination against women at the company.
Why it matters: The lawsuit comes just a day after a Wall Street Journal report alleged Musk has had sexual relationships with at least two SpaceX employees and has made sexually inappropriate comments toward other women at the company.
The women Musk allegedly had sexual relationships with included a former intern he later hired onto his executive team, according to the Journal's report.
After another alleged sexual relationship with an employee fell apart, the woman received "recriminations over text and email" as she left the company. She also signed an agreement prohibiting her from discussing her work for Musk.
Musk allegedly asked another woman employee to have his babies during exit negotiations in 2013.
Context: The suit stems from firings in 2022 after some employees helped write an open letter criticizing Musk's behavior in public and on social media.
The employees said Musk was a "frequent source of distraction and embarrassment" for them and a threat to the company's reputation and urged company executives to publicly condemn Musk's actions.
The same former employees are pursuing a National Labor Relations Board complaint against the company.
What's inside: In the lawsuit the former employees — four men and four women — alleged they were illegally fired after helping write the open letter to challenge "unlawful conduct" within the company.
The conduct highlighted in the suit included Musk allegedly "treating women as sexual objects to be evaluated on their bra size, bombarding the workplace with lewd sexual banter, and offering the reprise to those who challenge the 'Animal House' environment that if they don't like it they can seek employment elsewhere."
What they're saying: Paige Holland-Thielen, one of the plaintiffs, said in a statement that filing the lawsuit "marks an important milestone in our quest for justice," adding that she hopes it encourages SpaceX employees to keep "fighting for a better workplace."
Anne Shaver, an attorney with Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein representing the plaintiffs, said company management "knowingly permitted and fostered" a work culture "rife" with sexual harassment.
"To have been terminated for protesting SpaceX's utter failure to take basic measures to prevent sexual harassment is patently retaliatory, wrong, and actionable," Shaver said.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
Musk previously denied a sexual harassment complaint from a former employee in 2021, who said she was paid $250,000 by the company after he exposed himself to her and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.

Trump will be first president since WWII to lose jobs during tenure. The U.S. lost 140,000 jobs in December 2020 in the final jobs report of Trump’s presidency. This means the nation has about 3 million fewer jobs than it did 4 years ago UNDER THE BLACK GUY --OBAMA, meaning Trump will be the first president to lose jobs over his term since employment data was collected in this way. NBC News Now correspondent Simone Boyce explains how it all unfolded.

Republican John Jessup who won county seat pleads guilty to sexual assault of daughter--PROBABLY TRUMP WILL NOMINATE HIM
John Jessup to resign as commissioner in Hancock, Indiana, and faces prison after guilty plea over incident in Las Vegas
Days after winning elected office, a Republican politician in Indiana pleaded guilty to trying to sexually assault his daughter in Las Vegas and now must resign his position.
John Jessup, the commissioner of Hancock, Indiana, was charged in Nevada in June in connection with a sexual assault that occurred in January, reported the local Greenfield Daily Reporter newspaper and KLAS.
But he remained in office as a county commissioner, ran for a seat on the Hancock council, a distinct elected body, and emerged as one of three victors after collecting about 15,000 votes.
Records show Jessup, 49, pleaded guilty in Nevada court on 13 November to attempted sexual assault, which is a kind of felony that can carry multiple years in prison, according to state law.
Indiana prohibits convicted felons from serving in state or local elected offices, though a decisive majority of its voters on 5 November helped vault Donald Trump to a second US presidency just months after a New York jury convicted him on felony charges of criminally falsifying business records.

House Speaker Ray Sansom, a friend of Don Gaetz for whom Matt had worked as a legislative aide during law school. In April 2009, Sansom was indicted on corruption charges, accused of tweaking the state budget to funnel more than $25 million to Northwest Florida State College in Niceville. Of those funds, $6 million was earmarked to build a hangar at the Destin airport for a jet company owned by one of Sansom’s friends and donors, real estate developer Jay Odom. Odom was also a client of Matt Gaetz, who handled Odom’s hangar lease. (In 2013, Odom would be sentenced to six months in prison for illegally funneling $23,000 into former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s failed 2008 presidential campaign. In the past decade, Odom has contributed thousands of dollars to Gaetz’s political campaigns https://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/legislature/florida-rep-matt-gaetz-stands-his-ground-in-defense-of-controversial-law/2151199/

Biden funded new factories and infrastructure projects, but Trump might get to cut the ribbons
Source: coppercourie
All that’s left is for President-elect Donald Trump to put his name on it — if he wants.
Trump won the White House largely because of voters’ frustration with high prices and a sense that the United States needs major changes. But when he enters office in January, Trump will inherit an economy primed for growth.
The unemployment rate is low, inflation is easing, and President Joe Biden’s administration has teed up a ready-made list of infrastructure projects that could go from theoretical to reality over the next several years. There’s the TSMC computer chip plant in Arizona, the new Hyundai electric vehicle factory in Georgia and a modernized I-375 in Michigan, among thousands of projects under way that will take years to complete.
All of that means it could be Trump, rather than Biden, who gets to tell Americans that he built the country back better. If he decides to let the projects proceed, that is.
Biden, himself, acknowledged last week that the positive economic impacts from his policies would occur after his term ends in January.

No, Trump Did Not Win in a Landslide--nor Did He Secure a Mandate
Source: thenation
The election math isn’t as bad as we thought. But the coming Trump administration is shaping up to be worse.
s blue Western states and cities finish counting votes, it looks like the popular vote “landslide” projected for Donald Trump last week turned out to be a trickle. When all the votes are counted, he will end up with a margin of roughly two points over Vice President Kamala Harris. Presidents Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Richard Nixon in 1972 won more than 60 percent of the popular vote; Ronald Reagan in 1984 won 58 percent. Those were landslides.
Don’t get me wrong: It was a bad outcome for Democrats. Trump won all seven swing states, netting himself 312 Electoral College votes (to Biden’s 306 in 2020). Democrats lost control of the Senate; the GOP now has 52 seats, and will likely wind up with 53 when the race between incumbent Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey and Connecticut corporate titan David McCormick is finally called (provisional ballots are still being counted). It will probably hold the House, by a slim margin.
So yes, none of this is good news. But it’s not the top-to-bottom repudiation of Democrats as it first looked like, and the way to respond is not to launch a civil war within the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, that has already begun. Centrists blame the doctrine of “woke,” with particular ire for trans Americans (we see you, New York Representative Tom Suozzi); leftists say Democrats abandoned the working class (we hear you, once again, Senator Bernie Sanders). Both positions are wrong. Others point fingers at the Harris campaign. Meanwhile, much of the media hypes Trump’s win as a landslide, which would seem to validate his racist, anti-worker agenda.
