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

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former employee through his aerospace firm SpaceX after sexually propositioning her during a 2016 encounter aboard his personal jet, based on a Enterprise Insider report published Thursday night.

The publication's report, written by Wealthy McHugh, cites documents obtained from a pal of the flight attendant, who was allegedly paid $250,000 by SpaceX in 2018 to settle a sexual misconduct claim introduced towards 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 providing to purchase her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage."

The documents embody a declaration signed by the attendant's good friend, as well as e-mail correspondence and other materials obtained by Enterprise Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred throughout a personal massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He supplied an preliminary response earlier than finally severing communication.

"If I were inclined to interact in sexual harassment, that is unlikely to be the primary time in my entire 30-year profession that it involves light," Musk instructed 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 telephone, 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 throughout a flight and was found "completely naked except for a sheet protecting the lower half of his body." It states Musk exposed 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 offer, based on the good friend's declaration obtained by Enterprise Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the good friend said in the declaration statement. "And he began propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and informed 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 information relating to SpaceX or Musk's businesses.

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