SpaceX executive defends Elon Musk against misconduct accusations
- wmf 4y agoEither SpaceX paid $250K or they didn't. The non-denials sound pretty vague.
- verdverm 4y agoIt is not hard to imagine that paying a settlement is cheaper than going to court to disprove false claims. Look at Johnny Depp right now. He's not the only one
- sidibe 4y agoI guess SpaceX and Tesla have different policies https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1421325748158312458?lang=en https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1421325748158312458?lang... "Tesla policy is never to give in to false claims, even if we would lose, and never to fight true claims, even if we would win."

- encryptluks2 4y ago$250k isn't cheap by any standards. You may pay $250k when two people were alone and it is one vs the other, but not when the facts are so obvious to dismiss the claim entirely. Musk has done a disservice though by playing games while trying to subsequently deny, yet not address the full story. This could have been an opportunity for him to provide context, even release the NDA... I mean the stock obviously lost more than $250k after the story came out. Why not just release the NDA and deny it to get it out of the way, let the person speak and prove them wrong. It will taint his image permanently and his employees will no longer have the trust in him that they are trying to get through corporate gaslighting.
