Elon Musk had sex with a SpaceX intern and was later hired as a problem solver. The Wall Street Journal informed. According to information, he had an intimate relationship with the second employee and asked the third woman to give birth to his babies. When the latter refused, Musk denied her a raise and complained about her performance WSJsources.
In one case, Musk had an affair with an intern. He then contacted her about a full-time position at SpaceX to “find and fix problems in the company.” Despite his talent as an engineer, he became a full-time member of Musk’s executive team, which former employees considered unusual for someone so junior. (The woman said WSJ (she said she didn’t want to be part of the article, and in her testimony she and Musk remain friends.)
Another woman said she was accused by SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell of having an affair with Shotwell’s husband. The woman reported the incident to HR, something that allegedly got back to Shotwell. Later, Shotwell demanded that the woman be removed from the executive head’s office. Musk later had sex with the same woman who left the company.
The WSJ He said his report was based on text messages, emails, documents and interviews with more than 48 people, “including former employees, people familiar with Musk’s interactions with female subordinates, and friends and family of the women.”
Musk did not respond WSJ. Shotwell said in a statement:
“The lies, mischaracterizations, and revisionist history in your e-mail is a completely bogus story. I continue to be amazed at what this extraordinary group of people achieves every day, even in the face of all the forces working against us. And Elon is one of the best people I know.”
This is far from the first report of inappropriate behavior at SpaceX. In late 2021, former employees “sexual harassment culture” including unwanted advances, lewd comments and physical contact at the company. Last year, Musk was accused of sexual misconduct by a SpaceX flight attendant, and SpaceX was sued in early 2024. he claimed repeated cases of gender discrimination and major protection failures.
