While your point around tacit acceptance is a good one I don't know if it follows that it's productive/appropriate to inject this debate into all of these situations. For one, the exact issues you care about could be very different from someone else's and having all these discussions is pretty distracting.
The method in this case, writing an open letter, seems like a way to weaponize network effect and have an outsized influence over say simply talking to your manager or using an internal feedback system. I think SpaceX is right to say this causes social pressure internally to sign on and not be on the wrong side of the "if you're not with us you're against us" attitudes of politics today.

Hard to disagree with that. > the exact issues you care about could be very different from someone else's and having all these discussions is pretty distracting. Definitely, which is part of why women and minorities get ignored and hence exploited when the status quo is embraced. > weaponize God I'm so tired of people's exaggerations. Nonsense.
