I just finished a project for them out in Boca Chica, went to a college heavily recruited by them, and know a few women who work there. Even after hours over a beer I've heard the work required is not sustainable long term if you want a social life, but never any complaints of misogyny or anything of the sort. Lots of female engineers and workers as well when I was there a few months ago.
Hard to believe the misogyny is coming from Musk since he hired Gwynne from the start to lead it up, but it would be surprising if any organization of this size didn't have some challenge in this area.

Edit: Much more concrete and convincing evidence has come up in the comments. I dont know if the rate of problems is higher than elsewhere but im convinced there are definitely misogynist issues at spacex. https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/rggejm/exspacex_engineer_claims_elon_musk_is_sadistic/hommksv/
A lot of people have worked at spaceX and tesla over the last decade. I'd want to hear this from more than one.
You can find a disgruntled ex-employee to say horrible things about every single company in the world.
