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

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former employee by way of his aerospace firm SpaceX after sexually propositioning her throughout a 2016 encounter aboard his private jet, in accordance with a Enterprise Insider report revealed Thursday evening.

The publication's report, written by Rich McHugh, cites documents obtained from a good friend of the flight attendant, who was allegedly paid $250,000 by SpaceX in 2018 to settle a sexual misconduct claim introduced in opposition to Musk by the worker. The documents state the employee accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg with out consent, and offering to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic therapeutic massage."

The paperwork include a declaration signed by the attendant's buddy, as well as email correspondence and other materials obtained by Business Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred during a non-public massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He provided an initial response earlier than ultimately severing communication.

"If I have been inclined to have interaction in sexual harassment, that is unlikely to be the primary time in my entire 30-year profession that it involves mild," Musk informed Enterprise Insider. He also characterized the inquiry as a "politically motivated hit piece," based on the publication.

SpaceX Vice President of Authorized Christopher Cardaci refused to comment on "any settlement agreements" when reached by telephone, in accordance with 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 during a flight and was found "completely bare except for a sheet covering the decrease half of his body." It states Musk uncovered his erect penis to the SpaceX worker and "touched her and provided to purchase her a horse if she would 'do extra.'" 

The attendant, an equestrian, declined Musk's supply, in line with the buddy's declaration obtained by Business Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the buddy stated within the declaration statement. "And he started propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and advised her he would buy her a horse. And he mainly tried to bribe her to perform some sort 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 fee, or disclosing info regarding SpaceX or Musk's businesses.

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