Elon Musk exposed himself to SpaceX flight attendant, in keeping with documents

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former employee by means of his aerospace company SpaceX after sexually propositioning her throughout a 2016 encounter aboard his private jet, based on a Enterprise Insider report published Thursday night.

The publication's report, written by Wealthy McHugh, cites documents obtained from a buddy of the flight attendant, who was allegedly paid $250,000 by SpaceX in 2018 to settle a sexual misconduct declare brought in opposition to Musk by the employee. The documents state the worker accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and providing to purchase her a horse in alternate for an erotic massage."

The paperwork embrace a declaration signed by the attendant's pal, in addition to e mail correspondence and different materials obtained by Enterprise Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred throughout a non-public therapeutic massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He offered an initial response before finally severing communication.

"If I have been inclined to have interaction in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the primary time in my total 30-year profession that it comes to mild," Musk advised Enterprise Insider. He also characterised the inquiry as a "politically motivated hit piece," in keeping with the publication.

SpaceX Vice President of Legal Christopher Cardaci refused to comment on "any settlement agreements" when reached by phone, according to Business Insider.

The declaration describes the 2016 encounter which led to the later settlement as occurring late in the year. It states Musk beckoned the attendant to his room throughout a flight and was discovered "completely naked apart from a sheet overlaying the lower half of his body." It states Musk uncovered his erect penis to the SpaceX worker and "touched her and offered to buy her a horse if she would 'do more.'" 

The attendant, an equestrian, declined Musk's offer, in accordance with the friend's declaration obtained by Enterprise Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the pal stated within the declaration assertion. "And he started propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and told her he would purchase her a horse. And he mainly tried to bribe her to carry out some sort of sexual act." 

The attendant's $250,000 severance bundle included non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses that barred the attendant from mentioning the incidents or cost, or disclosing information regarding SpaceX or Musk's companies.

As of this writing, Musk has yet to reply publicly to the story.
