Gwynne Shotwell defends CEO Elon Musk in an email to employees
Gwynne Shotwell is the President and Coo at SpaceX aerospace company, defended in the email to employees regarding the sexual assault case directed on CEO Elon Musk, says CNBC ‘Personally, I believe the allegations to be false; not because I work for Elon, but because I have worked closely with him for 20 years and never seen nor heard anything resembling these allegations,’ Shotwell wrote in her email on Friday.
Musk initially denied all the allegations written by the flight attendant in 2016.
”It is all a political game against me, there is a lot in it” Elon Musk replied when he was asked about accusations.
He never accepted any sexual harassment allegations but he also never denied the $250,000 payment he made to the flight attendant.
Neither Elon Musk nor SpaceX gave out any statement related to this.
However, Shotwell highlighted in her Friday mail that, “will never comment on any legal matters involving employment issues”.
Today Sawyer Merritt highlighted this news on his Twitter account where he tagged Elon Musk.
Later, Elon replied to his tweet, ‘Astute observers of my plane (and there many) will note that I don’t use a flight attendant.
Moreover, only fruit & nuts are stocked on the plane. I use flights as an opportunity to fast’.
After which, many people showed up in support of Elon Musk.
One said, ‘They always try to crumble our dreams but we’re too strong. The whole community has your back.
Another replied, ‘We knew that story was bullshit Elon’ with a heart emoji in the message.’
