- In-flight behavior. Legal records show that SpaceX paid $250,000 to settle a sexual misconduct claim brought against the company's founder and Tesla CEO Elon Musk by a flight attendant for the aerospace company's corporate jet fleet. The woman says that Musk exposed himself to her and offered "to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage." Musk called the story a "politically motivated hit piece." Insider

- Operation Fly Formula. President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act on Wednesday to increase the production of baby formula, and launched “Operation Fly Formula,” which allows government agencies to use Department of Defense planes to acquire formula from overseas. A few hours later, the House passed a bill granting $28 million in funds to the FDA to combat the infant formula shortage (192 Republicans voted against the legislation). Another bill expands the types of formula available for purchase with WIC, a form of federal food aid. New York Times

- Useless interviews. Seven current and former Wells Fargo employees allege that the bank interviews people of color and women for roles that often were already promised to someone else as a way to meet diverse candidate requirements when interviewing. Five other employees said they were aware of the practice or helped arrange such interviews. The firm claims that the diversity requirement is only for roles that pay higher than $100,000 and that last year 77% of interviewed candidates and 81% of new hires were not white men.

- Know your worth. Demand for babysitters is booming as parents return to the office and resurrect their in-person social lives—and the teenagers taking these gigs know it. Parents are offering competitive rates, with some teens reportedly receiving $25 to $30 an hour, which is well over double what they charged before the pandemic in some cases. (And that's just for one-off jobs—not the cost of a true childcare professional.) The average charge for a babysitter from Care.com increased from $14.72 in 2020 to $18.05 in April.

- Data for sale. The data marketplace platform Narrative allows users to purchase data "related to the users of specific apps"—including family-planning and period-tracker apps. That's a rising concern for many ahead of the likely fall of Roe v. Wade. This week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Senate Democrats asked data brokers SafeGraph and Placer.ai to provide information about cell phone data tied to abortion clinics that can be purchased. Vice

- Representation matters. A Nielsen report on Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) representation in television found a small increase between 2020 and 2021. Streaming video led the highest in Asian representation with an 11% share of screen, compared to 3.2% in broadcast and 2.7% in cable. Half of the top 10 programs on broadcast and cable in 2021 featured Asian talent, compared to none in 2020. But two-thirds of Asian-American viewers feel that there is not enough representation on TV, and half believe portrayals are inaccurate. Nielsen

- Pension gap. U.K.-based trade union TUC dubbed Thursday “Pension Gap Day,” marking the first day of the year when female retirees would receive pension payments based on the nation’s gender gap in retirement savings. The average pension gap is 38%, and in two-thirds of industries, women have pensions worth only half of men’s. Women find it difficult to accumulate retirement savings for a number of reasons: they often have to leave their professions or take on part-time work to care for children, and are paid an average of 15.4% less than men.
