Elon Musk’s Boundary-Blurring Relationships
What the chicken-fried fuck is this prosaic bullshit? Say “Harrassment” like a proper adult publication, you Murdochian sewer gargoyles.

Nothing to add, but goddamn, that comment is art
The whole thing reads like a lawyer was the editor, because they know sure as shit they will get sued by that pile of entrails come to life.
Your words...they are beautiful. They did send a poet.

One of my coworkers is a woman who used to work at SpaceX. She said he was a fucking creep and that she avoided being around him at all costs. She also said the Tesla employees who shared her building were way more sexist and creepy than the SpaceX employees.
One of my co workers left our company to go work for Tesla. I think he's going to fit right in.
Corporate culture comes from the head. It is why when a company has systemic sexual harassment problems? It is almost guaranteed the CEO/influencers in charge of it are sex pests too.
Spacex is "special" because so much of the leadership were blatantly poached from NASA and JPL and the various labs. So while you still have a LOT of corporate culture problems, it is also accepted that musk is the guy who does fund raising rather than the leader and he doesn't have much say in actual moment to moment.
Whereas he purged enough of tesla leadership that it is "his" company.
That's the very small tip of a huge iceberg when it comes to Tesla-

“The untruths, mischaracterizations, and revisionist history in your email paint a completely misleading narrative,” she said. “I continue to be amazed by what this extraordinary group of people are achieving every day even amidst all the forces acting against us. And Elon is one of the best humans I know.”

I know she can't say anything bad about him, but come on...
The moment Elon knows she thinks he's a smearing-shit-on-wall toddler in a middle-age body, she's gone.
I seem to recall a post saying that SpaceX has a management team in place to insulate the rest of the company from Musk's idiocy.
Gwynne is simply performing her job to stop the man-baby from crying and throwing his toys out of the pram and therefore jeopardising the US' most successfull commercial launcher.
You don't get to be president of SpaceX without, at the very least, figuratively licking Musk's asshole at every opportunity.
From the sound of things, I don't want to know what happens behind closed doors.
That’s trumpian levels of sycophancy.
Aw c'mon let's give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she only knows like... Elon, and Trump, and Hitler.
A biographical movie of this guy is going to be... entertaining...
Ashton Kutcher as Elon is apt.

Ew
Elon continues to be a jackass.
God. Damn. What an absolute fucking monster.
