You do realize that this is a standard that countless CEOs have been held to for a while now? McDonald’s CEO: https://www.npr.org/2021/12/16/1064943356/mcdonalds-ceo-sett...

CNN CEO: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2022/02/02/j...

NBCUniversal CEO: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/24/media/jeff-shell-sexual-haras...

And so on… has Musk been confirmed to meet this level of misbehavior? For some of the above examples the answer is yes, for others no. But where there’s smoke there’s fire. It seems to me like you’re trying to move the Overton window on what is deemed acceptable CEO behavior.

Maybe I am, but I don't think it's reprehensible for someone to have intimate relations with willing people. Doing other things, like firing people for ending relationships, or harassing people because they're unwilling, are reprehensible, but I don't see any real evidence of that from this article, only a single claim that is unverified and sounds outlandish.
