On May 24, Beijing time, Gwynne shotwell, President and chief operating officer of SpaceX, defended Elon Musk's allegations of improper sexual behavior in an email sent to employees last week "Personally, I think these allegations are wrong. Not because I work for musk, but because I have worked closely with him for 20 years and have never seen or heard any similar allegations," shortwell said in an email on Friday
Earlier, the insider website revealed that a stewardess accused musk of exposing her private parts, stroking her legs without consent, and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for a pornographic massage. Moreover, SpaceX paid the stewardess a $250000 (about 1.7 million yuan) sealing fee to settle her allegations of improper sexual behavior against musk. Musk responded at that time that "there is still a lot of content in this story", and this report was "politically motivated framing".
In her email, shortwell stressed that she "will never comment on any legal events involving employment issues", and then pointed out that musk publicly denied the allegations on twitter, saying they were "completely untrue". Shortwell is the number two figure at SpaceX and the company's highest ranking female executive. She also pointed out that SpaceX adopted a "zero tolerance" policy on harassment, adding that "no matter who is involved", every allegation will be taken seriously and investigated. (author / Xiao Yu)
