Billionaire Elon Musk recently posted a job advertisement on Twitter, but it was heavily trolled by users and became a trending topic on the social media platform.
The Tesla CEO was recently accused of sexual harassment, which Musk denied and said was "utterly untrue." Following the incident, he posted that his company will establish a "hardcore litigation department" that will "directly initiate and execute lawsuits'', per Mashable India.
The billionaire went on to say that they will accept defeat in a reasonable case against them even if they have a possibility of winning; however, they will not "surrender" if the case is unreasonable. NDTV reported that Elon Musk also requested that applicants submit three to five reasons describing their exceptional talent so that his staff could process the job applications.

Musk Challenges Accuser
Meanwhile, according to Business Insider, SpaceX paid $250,000 in 2018 to resolve a sexual harassment allegation filed by an unnamed private jet flight attendant who claimed Musk exposed himself to her. According to the story, an unidentified source claimed to be a friend of the flight attendant.
He reacted to the issue on Elon Musk Twitter account, saying that the allegations against him should be treated as political.
"The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens - this is their standard (despicable) playbook - but nothing will stop me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech," the billionaire entrepreneur tweeted.
Elon Musk denounced the accusation. He said that "it never happened" and challenged the anonymous person to describe one thing that isn't known by the public.
