In recent days, entrepreneur Elon Musk has been the talk of the town. Musk was Indeed reported for sexual harassment. A new legal problem for the entrepreneur, who had to face serious accusations by eight former SpaceX engineers. According to reports, Musk allegedly had intimate relationships with two employees and also asked another to have a child.
However, accusations are mounting, with Musk allegedly creating an unhealthy work environment based on dislike and “harassment.” In short, according to the accusations, Musk would have shared photographs, inappropriate sexual jokes, etc., in short, all offensive and derogatory things about women and the LGBTQ+ community.
According to the eight defendants, the situation within SpaceX quickly deteriorated and they claimed that they were also harassed by other colleagues due to Musk’s behavior. The situation worsened when eight people were fired after a letter dating back to 2022, in which they complained about the unbecoming behavior of the company’s CEO (i.e. Musk). The dismissals occurred without any investigation, but only at the discretion of Musk himself, who is no stranger to criticism and abrupt dismissals.
So Musk must now answer to these damaging accusations, which are added to those dating back to a few months ago regarding the use of narcotics. All this is tarnishing the image of the greatest businessman. A disastrous fall in short for the famous entrepreneur. Tesla shareholders are currently voting to accept or reject the request of almost 50 billion dollars by Elon Musk.
Musk Wins NASA Contract to Destroy ISS
Elon Musk will contribute to the “destruction” of the International Space Station (ISS) through his company SpaceX. What has been stated is partly true, however it is important to clarify some things, first of all that this is not an intentional or imminent destruction. The ISS has been in orbit since 1998 and its structure has started to deteriorate, NASA and international partners intend to get rid of it by 2030. SpaceX’s task is therefore to design and build a space vehicle, which will be named “US Deorbit Vehicle (USDV)”, should join the ISS by 2030 and use engines capable of lowering its orbit. The ISS will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, burning up most of it. This process is carried out in a controlled manner so as not to cause debris to fall into residential areas.
SpaceX signed an $843 million contract with NASA in June 2024. In conclusion, while it is technically true that SpaceX is responsible for the “deorbiting” and eventual destruction of the ISS, it is important to emphasize that this is a very difficult and delicate but well-planned task, with the goal of successfully completing the activity.
Ken Bowersox, the agency’s director of space operations, said:
“The selection of a US vehicle to de-orbit the International Space Station (ISS) will help NASA and its international partners ensure a safe and responsible transition into low Earth orbit at the end of station operations. This decision also supports NASA’s plans for future commercial destinations and enables the continued use of near-Earth space.”

Musk became a father for the twelfth time
The famous entrepreneur told Page Six that issuing a press release would be “weird,” so he didn’t bother sharing the birth of his new addition.
This is the third child with his partner Shivon Zilis. In fact, neither he nor Zilis have disclosed the sex and name of the child. Currently, we only know that the new entry arrived in the Musk family at the beginning of 2024.
The entrepreneur told PageSix:

For now, both he and his partner have preferred not to reveal further information.
