CNBC AI News, July 19th – A viral video capturing the CEO of a U.S. unicorn company and a female executive in a seemingly intimate moment at a concert, subsequently projected onto the venue’s big screen, has ignited a global social media frenzy.
Reports indicate the TikTok video has already amassed over 35 million views, transforming a private moment into a very public spectacle.
The footage depicts the CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer of tech startup Astronomer caught in an embrace by the concert’s roaming camera crew.
As their faces appeared on the jumbo screen before a crowd estimated at nearly 60,000, the pair visibly recoiled. The CEO quickly moved out of frame, while Cabot, the CHRO, covered her face in apparent embarrassment.
Adding fuel to the fire, the band’s frontman quipped that the two were either “too shy or up to no good,” eliciting roaring laughter and cheers from the audience.
The clip rapidly circulated across various social media platforms, becoming an instant online sensation.
Astronomer subsequently issued an apology statement from the CEO on its official “X” (formerly Twitter) account. The CEO expressed remorse to his family, wife, and company employees.
Never one to miss a social media skirmish, Elon Musk, owner of “X,” responded to the apology with a simple “laughing with tears” emoji, injecting an extra dose of drama and irony into the unfolding situation. The subtle dig, arguably, made the matter more viral.
For context, sources indicate that as of July 2025, Elon Musk has publicly acknowledged, or been confirmed to have, at least 7 female partners, including two wives, multiple long-term relationships, and even some disputed figures. His publicly acknowledged number of children stands at 14.
