Elon Musk uncovered himself to SpaceX flight attendant, in response to documents

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

The publication's report, written by Wealthy McHugh, cites paperwork obtained from a friend of the flight attendant, who was allegedly paid $250,000 by SpaceX in 2018 to settle a sexual misconduct claim brought in opposition to Musk by the worker. The paperwork 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 trade for an erotic therapeutic massage."

The paperwork embrace a declaration signed by the attendant's good friend, in addition to email correspondence and different supplies obtained by Enterprise Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred throughout a non-public massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He provided an initial response before in the end severing communication.

"If I had been inclined to have interaction in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the primary time in my entire 30-year profession that it involves light," Musk informed Business Insider. He also characterised 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 within the year. It states Musk beckoned the attendant to his room during a flight and was found "fully naked apart from a sheet protecting the lower half of his body." It states Musk uncovered his erect penis to the SpaceX worker and "touched her and supplied to purchase her a horse if she would 'do extra.'" 

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

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the pal said within the declaration statement. "And he started propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and instructed her he would purchase her a horse. And he basically tried to bribe her to carry out some kind of sexual act." 

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

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