Yahoo Finance The Morning After: Musk sued for sexual harassment
Former SpaceX engineers say the billionaire created a hostile work environment.
A number of former SpaceX engineers are suing Elon Musk for sexual harassment, retaliation and creating a hostile workplace environment. The suit comes in the wake of a blockbuster WSJ report that lifted the lid on Musk’s treatment of SpaceX employees. This same group penned an open letter in 2022 highlighting Musk’s behavior which, they say, caused them to be fired. They have also filed complaints against SpaceX with the NLRB, another government agency Musk is waging war against.

Apparently, it pulled this feat off for free, getting OpenAI to share its wares for access to Apple’s vast user base. Not to mention that if it can get people to pay for an OpenAI subscription, it’ll more than pay for itself over time. Not that OpenAI is hurting for cash right now — it’s apparently raking in twice as much revenue as it did last year.
