workplace harassment happens unfortunately a lot in corporate America, not all of it always sexual. Sometimes it is other types of harassment, but most people usual reference sexual harassment.
For example in June 8 former employees of SpaceX
The lawsuit alleges that Musk “runs his company in the dark ages — treating women as sexual objects to be evaluated on their bra size, bombarding the workplace with lewd sexual banter, and offering the reprise to those who challenge the ‘Animal House’ environment that if they don’t like it they can seek employment elsewhere.”
Likely settled

A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence.

Has the timeline been since he started working in the government? Because that would be a lot. But if it is over the course of 50 years. $17 million would be fractions of a penny if distributed equally back to the people hypothetically. And losing lawsuits can often be more expensive.
And assuming it really happened and not some distortion of the truth that everybody on X believes because it is Elon Musk
