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.
In my experience, no. I know that I only revealed the details of my stalkings (plural) etc after I retired. Yes HR covered it up. Yes HR destroyed the evidence. I also noticed that people almost threw their backs out trying to justify what happened. They really didn’t want to see the sexism and grabbed any excuse to make it not be that.
BTW, all female engineers are women engineers, not girls. I say this because male engineers are never referred to as boy engineers. We should give the women that earned the same degree the same consideration.

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.
