A Wall Street Journal report alleges Elon Musk of sexual misconduct with women at SpaceX employees, citing multiple accounts of Musk’s alleged inappropriate behavior.
Elon Muskis alleged to have had a sexual relationship with a former SpaceX intern, who he later hired onto his executive team, according toThe Wall Street Journal.
“She and Musk had met years earlier during her internship when she was still in college. She’d approached him with ideas for improving SpaceX. Her outreach had led to a date, which led to a kiss, and eventually sex,” the publication reported.
The intern, who isn’t named in the Journal’s report, is allegedly one of the many female employees at SpaceX to whom Musk showed an unusual amount of attention.
The relationship ended on negative terms, resulting in an exchange of accusations and blame through text messages and emails as she left the company. She signed an agreement that prevented her from talking about her work for Musk.
Elon Musk didn’t reply to the Journal’s request for comment. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, said the Journal’s reporting paints “a completely misleading narrative.”
