Billionaire tech mogul, Elon Musk has been accused of having sexual relationships with a SpaceX executive and a former intern, and of asking another staff member to have his children.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk was involved with an intern 20 years younger and attempted to rekindle the relationship when she officially joined SpaceX.
The 52-year-old allegedly flew her to Italy for a Google conference and later invited her for drinks, touching her inappropriately.
Despite her rejection during the incident in 2017, Musk continued to touch her breasts before supposedly saying: ‘Oh I’m so bad. I shouldn’t be doing this’.
The intern stated in an affidavit that there was no romantic relationship during her time at SpaceX, and Musk was never predatory. But one of her friends said he would still ‘text her a lot’ and once invited her to his home.
Musk is also accused of repeatedly asking another female employee to have children with him before she received a £780,000 payoff and left in 2013.
Additionally, it’s alleged that Elon Musk had a relationship with a SpaceX executive in 2014 while separated from his then-wife, Talulah Riley.
Musk approached the woman, who was working directly for him and putting in 17-hour days. He allegedly asked her to join him for a drink at his mansion in Bel-Air and praised her for having ‘beauty and brains’.
The Journal reports they had sex and the next morning he promised the woman Tesla stock. But she is said to have begun to feel used and negotiated an £66,000 exit package from SpaceX.
These allegations follow claims that Musk propositioned a flight attendant for sex in 2016 by offering to buy her a horse. Several former employees have said Musk made advances or gave them undue attention.
Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s chief operating officer, said the Journal’s report presented a “completely misleading narrative.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Elon Musk had previoulsy denied an allegation of sexual misconduct made against him by the flight attendant in 2022.
