During the video call, Musk discussed SpaceX’s Starship plans in detail and shared some new-to-the-public information, like SpaceX’s goal to conduct an orbital launch in January 2022 and Musk’s plan for physically landing on Mars.

Barraza claims that, although Tesla HR and managers were aware of the floor’s “frat house” culture, she and other women fended for themselves as male employees forcibly touched them and made comments like “that bitch hella thick” and “she looks like a coke bottle.” The lawsuit and its documentation of Tesla’s sexually aggressive environment are available to read as a PDF online. Tesla was sued on November 18 by former employee Jessica Barraza for forcing women employees to endure “nightmarish conditions of rampant sexual harassment” in its Fremont factory, the lawsuit alleges.

In the emails, Musk also encourages employees to listen to music during their work hours, writing, “I very much support music in the factory, as well as any little touches that make work more enjoyable,” and “I care very much that you look forward to coming to work every day!” Aw, that’s nice. Although Musk is pretty trigger-happy when it comes to firing people - writing in an email that managers who fail to comply or directly question his orders will be forced to “resign immediately” - that fast-and-loose approach to employees isn’t necessarily new information. The good news is that Tesla’s October emails, some of which CNBC recently obtained, aren’t so bad. Tesla: Ambient music is okay, harassment isn’t!
