    In the letter, the group of SpaceX employees describe Musk’s behavior in the public sphere as a “frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us.” The open letter was drafted and delivered to SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell’s desk in June 2022, nearly a month after a report by Business Insider claimed Musk had exposed his erect penis to a former flight attendant at SpaceX and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for sex. In response, Musk wrote on X (which was still Twitter at the time) that the scandal should be referred to as “Elongate,” cleverly combining his name and a word to describe an erect penis. “It’s kinda perfect,” he added to finish off another one of his greatest hits on the social media platform.

    Emphasis mine. I would have thought it was more about his Twitter antics over the past year but yeah it sounds like they were definitely doing the right thing here by asking their boss to not pull his dick out at work and solicit his employees for sex. I mean Jesus fucking Christ.
