The employees at the company wrote an open letter condemning the behavior of Musk.
According to a letter obtained by The New York Times, Elon's behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction. Every message that Elon sends is a public statement by the company as he is the CEO and most prominent spokesman.
The billionaire is in the middle of an acquisition. Mr. Musk spoke to employees for the first time via video call to explain his vision for the company after he completes the deal.
A spokesman for the company didn't reply to a question about the letter. The document was first reported by The Verve.
Insider reported in May that Mr. Musk propositioned a flight attendant for sex on a flight to London. According to the article, the details of which were not independently verified by The New York Times, the flight attendant claimed that he exposed himself to her and offered her a horse.
Mr. Musk made jokes about horses and his genitalia on the social networking site. The sexual harassment allegations against Mr. Musk were false, according to an email written by the president and COO of the company.
She wrote in the email that anyone who knows the man knows he wouldn't do anything like that.
The number of people who have signed the open letter is not known. The public condemnation of Elon's harmful Twitter behavior is one of the demands outlined in the letter.
It's important to make clear to our teams and potential talent pool that his messaging doesn't reflect our work, our mission, or our values.
