Elon Musk in Hot Water: Sexual Harassment and Apple Device Ban...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again found himself in the midst of controversy. Recent reports have surfaced regarding a sexual harassment scandal, with allegations that Musk engaged in forced sexual relations with several employees at Space X. In addition to this, Musk shocked many when he announced a ban on the use of Apple devices within his company.

Sexual Harassment Allegations

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) revealed that a female intern who worked at Space X from 2017 to 2019 had a sexual relationship with Musk. Following this, the woman was promoted to an executive position within the company. Another disturbing incident involved a Space X flight attendant who claimed Musk offered to buy her a horse in exchange for sexual favors. Furthermore, a woman who had previously worked for Musk reported that he had pressured her to become pregnant, citing concerns about a global population crisis.

Apple Device Ban

Aside from the sexual harassment scandal, Musk made headlines by declaring a ban on Apple devices within Tesla. This decision was motivated by concerns over data security, particularly in light of Apple's introduction of Apple Intelligence, which incorporates AI technology into its new devices. Musk criticized Apple's use of OpenAI's Chat GPT, warning that it posed significant risks to user data privacy.

Legal Battles and Allegations

Musk's apprehension towards Apple's collaboration with third-party AI developers has led to legal actions against OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT. Musk accused OpenAI of breaching their original agreement to develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for the greater good of humanity. Although Musk initially filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, he abruptly withdrew it prior to the trial commencement, citing undisclosed reasons.
