Elon Musk uncovered himself to SpaceX flight attendant, in accordance with paperwork

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

The publication's report, written by Rich McHugh, cites paperwork 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 against Musk by the worker. The documents state the employee accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and offering to buy her a horse in trade for an erotic massage."

The documents embrace 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 question occurred throughout a personal massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for remark Wednesday. He provided an preliminary response before ultimately severing communication.

"If I have been inclined to interact in sexual harassment, that is unlikely to be the primary time in my entire 30-year profession that it comes to gentle," Musk advised Business Insider. He also characterized the inquiry as a "politically motivated hit piece," in line with the publication.

SpaceX Vice President of Legal Christopher Cardaci refused to comment on "any settlement agreements" when reached by phone, in response to Business 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 found "utterly bare except for a sheet covering the lower half of his physique." 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 supply, in response to the friend's declaration obtained by Business Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the buddy stated in the declaration assertion. "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 perform some form 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 fee, or disclosing data relating to SpaceX or Musk's businesses.

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