A new report has been released with allegations about Elon Musk, claiming he had a sexual relationship with an intern who was 'more than 20 years younger' than him.
Musk is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX and is currently worth over $200 billion.
At his space aircraft manufacturing company, there's said to be 13,000 employees - some of whom he's had 'boundary-blurring relationships' with.
The news comes as part of a report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), who has interview several former SpaceX employees and other people familiar with the matter.

The publication is also said to have seen documents.
One interviewee who was once an intern at SpaceX has alleged that she slept with Musk after meeting him in the early 2010s.
The unnamed woman is reportedly 20 years younger than the billionaire business mogul.
Eventually, the woman got a job as an executive at SpaceX in the years that followed her internship. But the interviewee feels like there isn't any 'wrongdoing' on Musk's part.
"Nothing that Elon Musk did towards me during either of my periods of employment at SpaceX was predatory or wrongful in any way," she told the WSJ via her lawyer.
She also insisted that during her employment at the company between 2017 and 2019, she did not engage in any sort of relationship with Musk.
A second employee is also said to have an intimate relationship with 52-year-old.
Elsewhere in the report, another woman - who left the company in 2013 - alleges that Musk asked her to have his children.
Musk is also accused of offering to buy an employee a horse in exchange for sexual acts.
While the billionaire hasn't directly responded to the WSJ's request for comment, Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, labelled the report as 'misleading'.
"The untruths, mischaracterizations, and revisionist history in your email paint a completely misleading narrative," Shotwell said.
"I continue to be amazed by what this extraordinary group of people are achieving every day even amidst all the forces acting against us. And Elon is one of the best humans I know."
UNILAD has also approached Musk for comment.
The report comes after a former Tesla employee gave some insight into what it was like working for Musk's electric vehicle manufacturing company.
According to ex Tesla mechanic Carl Medlock, there was a way to tell if Musk was going to fire you soon.
Medlock explained: "If Elon is micromanaging you, you're probably on you way out because he hires good people [and] lets them do their thing."
