Exclusive | Elon Musk s Boundary-Blurring Relationships With Women at SpaceX – WSJ
She is one of several female employees at SpaceX who have told friends, family, or the company itself, that Musk showed them an unusual amount of attention or pursued them.
One woman, a SpaceX flight attendant, alleged that in 2016 Musk exposed himself to her and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for sex acts.
Another woman who left the company in 2013 alleged in exit negotiations with SpaceX human resources and legal executives that Musk had asked her to have his babies.
A fourth woman had a month-long sexual relationship with Musk in 2014 while she directly reported to him. The relationship ended badly, leading to recriminations over text and email as she left the company and signed an agreement prohibiting her from discussing her work for Musk.
Former SpaceX executives, as well as fired SpaceX employees who complained to the National Labor Relations Board in 2022, say a high-level group around Musk fails to apply his company s own rules to the CEO, contributing to a culture of sexism and harassment.
They say there s an understanding that Musk, a charismatic leader with many fans who call him a genius, can act with impunity. Elon is SpaceX, and SpaceX is Elon, one former engineer recalled an executive saying during a June 2022 meeting after the firings of some of the SpaceX employees, who had criticized Musk and demanded greater accountability at the company.

Well he didn’t get 11 kids or however many he has by playing Tetris in the middle of the night. Musk sounds like a big baby lots of ways, but by buying twitter he may have saved the world. I certainly wouldn’t trust him. But I wouldn’t trust an EV either. I’m still irritated about all the ethanol in gasoline.
