(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk, CEO of U.S. space company SpaceX, solicited sexual relationships from female employees, including a former intern. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported this based on an affidavit signed by one of the women and an interview.
Former SpaceX executives told the newspaper that company policies were not enforced by Musk, contributing to a culture of sexism and harassment. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell disputes this opinion. SpaceX told the newspaper that it fully investigates all complaints of harassment and takes appropriate action.
Musk and SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment from Bloomberg. Allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation at SpaceX have been raised in previous lawsuits.

Shocking details of Elon Musk’s alleged conduct are laid bare in a new lawsuit filed by eight former employees of SpaceX, who claim the “Animal House” environment fostered by the eccentric CEO and his executive team created a toxic work environment unbecoming of the company whose futuristic mission includes the colonization of other planets.
The allegations include near-constant sexual comments and actions from Musk himself—both publicly and privately—which were immediately repeated and mimicked by other employees at the company. This fraternity-house culture became pervasive at SpaceX, the ex-employees allege, with a number of engineers creating crudely-named products including an “upskirt camera” on the Falcon rocket, the “fun tunnel” (a euphemism for anal sex) and “B-plugs” on the Dragon vehicle, as well as teams of employees calling themselves the “chodes” and “schlongs.”
“It’s reminiscent of the kind of charges that came out in Wall Street in the 1990s,” Anne Shaver, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs, told The Daily Beast. “It’s really shocking to see this happening in, you know, 2020s, in California.”
Claire Mallon, Tom Moline, André Nadeau, Deborah Lawrence, Rebekah Clark, Scott Beck, Yaman Abdulhak and Paige Holland-Thielen all worked for SpaceX some time between June 2014 to August 2022, according to the lawsuit which was filed out of Los Angeles on Wednesday. They all claim to have been fired after raising concerns about the work environment at the company.

Tesla shareholders approved a compensation package of approximately $50 billion (approximately 7.8 trillion yen) for CEO Elon Musk at the company's annual general meeting held on June 13, U.S. time.
Earlier this year, Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathleen McCormick ruled that Musk's compensation package was invalid, calling it "mysterious," and the company is using the results of that vote in its appeal. It is likely to be used as part of the material.
In addition, Tesla's shareholders also approved the transfer of its corporate registration from Delaware to Texas. This was pushed by Musk, who posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he would "never form a company in Delaware" after his compensation package was invalidated.

On the 12th, Twitter owner Elon Musk responded to the European Commission's opinion that X violates European Union (EU) laws that regulate the posting of illegal content such as false information. He said he plans to fight the case in court. Musk also claimed that the European Commission had offered him a "secret deal" to avoid fines, but he did not provide any details or evidence. The European Commission completely denies this.

Musk posted on X, ``I look forward to the fight in court. The people of Europe will know the truth.'' He did not accept the view that it was a violation of the law, and expressed his intention to file a lawsuit against the European Commission.
Mr. Musk further posted, ``The European Commission has offered us an illegal secret agreement that if we secretly censor speech, we will not impose fines.'' "Other platformers accepted the deal. X did not," it unilaterally argued.
