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

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former worker by means of his aerospace company SpaceX after sexually propositioning her during a 2016 encounter aboard his non-public jet, in keeping with a Business Insider report revealed Thursday night.

The publication's report, written by Wealthy McHugh, cites documents obtained from a friend 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 paperwork state the employee accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and providing to purchase her a horse in exchange for an erotic therapeutic massage."

The paperwork include a declaration signed by the attendant's friend, in addition to e-mail correspondence and other supplies obtained by Enterprise Insider. They alleged that the incident in query occurred throughout a personal therapeutic massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He offered an initial response before ultimately severing communication.

"If I were inclined to interact in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the primary time in my whole 30-year career that it comes to mild," Musk told Business Insider. He also characterized the inquiry as a "politically motivated hit piece," in accordance with the publication.

SpaceX Vice President of Legal Christopher Cardaci refused to touch upon "any settlement agreements" when reached by phone, in line with Enterprise Insider.

The declaration describes the 2016 encounter which led to the later settlement as occurring late in the 12 months. It states Musk beckoned the attendant to his room during a flight and was discovered "completely naked apart from a sheet covering the lower half of his body." It states Musk uncovered his erect penis to the SpaceX employee and "touched her and provided to purchase her a horse if she would 'do extra.'" 

The attendant, an equestrian, declined Musk's supply, based on the buddy's declaration obtained by Business Insider. 

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

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

As of this writing, Musk has but to respond publicly to the story.
