Once again the Wall Street Journal scores with an exclusive report on Elon Musk’s SpaceX which exposes the “genius” tech founder’s pattern of flagrant sexual harassment. The article is based on interviews with several of his victims.
In the summer of 2013, a woman who reported directly to Musk left the company and later returned with a lawyer. She alleged that Musk had asked her on multiple occasions to have his babies, according to people familiar with the allegations.
Musk had children with an employee in 2021. He and Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk’s Neuralink brain-implant company, share twins. Zilis has said Musk encouraged her to have children and later offered to be the sperm donor. “I can’t possibly think of genes I would prefer for my children,” Zilis is quoted as saying in “Elon Musk,” a biography by author Walter Isaacson.
But the woman at SpaceX declined Musk’s offer. She had continued working for Musk after he asked her to have his children, but their relationship deteriorated. Besides the baby allegations, Musk had denied the woman a raise and complained about her performance, according to people familiar with the matter.
The woman received an exit package of cash and stock valued at more than $1 million, according to a person familiar with the agreement.
Musk is fearful that the earth faces a severe underpopulation crisis. And more humans will be needed in the future to colonize Mars in the event of a cataclysm on earth. Of course, ideally the human species would benefit from having the genius genes of — you guessed it — Elon Musk.
“If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble. Mark my words,” Musk said in a 2021 interview with the Journal.
It goes without saying that a genius like Elon Musk deserves a premium pay package — a $45 billion pay package to continue as CEO of Tesla.
