Elon Musk's SpaceX faced a $3,600 fine after a worker narrowly escaped amputation in an accident at its Washington site. Inspectors found the firm ignored safety protocols, leading to at least 600 unreported injuries since 2014. Another worker remains in a coma after a 2022 incident. The facility lacked proper safety programs and failed to address violations, with workers facing risks like heavy materials and inadequate safety gear. Despite fines totaling $50,836 in the last decade, safety concerns persist. Experts question the efficacy of penalties in deterring corporate negligence.
