Elon Musk requested that one of his employees have his children.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is at the center of a storm following the publication of a bombshell report in a major US daily accusing the billionaire businessman of serious misconduct, including sexual harassment. The report, published by Wall Street JournalBased on extensive interviews and document analysis, it paints a worrying picture of boundary-blurring behavior on Musk’s part.
Here are 5 shocking revelations from the Elon Musk report:
Sexual relations with subordinates
The report details several instances in which the SpaceX founder began intimate relationships with female employees, including a former intern and an engineering colleague. One woman alleged that Musk pursued her romantically, inviting her to his mansion and sending her frequent text messages late at night, which she said made her job difficult.
Sexual harassment allegations
A SpaceX flight attendant alleged that Musk exposed himself to her and made inappropriate advances, offering her gifts in exchange for sexual favors, according to the report. However, Musk denied the allegations, claiming they were “completely false”.
Elon Musk asked one of his employees to give birth to his children
Another former SpaceX employee alleged that Musk asked her on multiple occasions to have children, which she refused each time. He does, however, have twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk’s company Neuralink. Zilis mentioned that he encouraged her to have children and later offered to be a sperm donor, the WSJ reported.
Use of drugs
The report also addresses concerns raised by former executives and employees about Musk’s use of drugs, including LSD, cocaine and ecstasy. Despite these allegations, Musk’s lawyer clarified that he regularly undergoes random drug tests and has never failed one.
Lack of responsibility
Former executives and employees say Elon Musk’s leadership style has created an environment where complaints are not handled effectively. Despite assurances from SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell that all complaints are thoroughly investigated, the report suggests there is a consistent failure to enforce company policies.
Elon Musk did not respond directly to these allegations.
The latest controversy comes after The New York Times revealed Musk’s alleged affair with Nicole Shanahan, ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The affair reportedly caused Shanahan’s separation from Brin, leading to their divorce.
