In the settlement reviewed by NBC News, Ye paid a former employee who alleged witnessing more than one incident in which Ye praised Hitler or Nazis in business meetings. NBC News has not confirmed that settlement, which appears to be separate from the case of the former employee who shared settlement documents with NBC News. In recent weeks, messages expressing support for Ye’s antisemitic statements have appeared over a Los Angeles freeway and at a college football game. The former employee said that Ye praised Hitler in 2018 during a meeting about an apparel project. Two of the former TMZ employees said that a Jewish producer stood up to confront Ye about his remarks about Nazis and Hitler.

Branden Spikes, a systems engineer at Zip2 also interviewed for the documentary, described Musk as an "unusual fellow" who would work late and then sleep under his desk. Elon Musk's mother, Maye, who also appears in the BBC documentary, said that when he was young she would struggle to wake him up in the morning because he would stay up all night reading books.
