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

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former employee via his aerospace firm SpaceX after sexually propositioning her during a 2016 encounter aboard his personal jet, in response to a Enterprise Insider report printed Thursday evening.

The publication's report, written by Wealthy McHugh, cites documents obtained from a buddy of the flight attendant, who was allegedly paid $250,000 by SpaceX in 2018 to settle a sexual misconduct declare introduced towards Musk by the employee. The paperwork state the worker accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and providing to buy her a horse in alternate for an erotic therapeutic massage."

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

"If I have been inclined to have interaction in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my complete 30-year career that it involves gentle," Musk told 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 cellphone, in response to Enterprise 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 "utterly naked aside from a sheet masking the lower half of his body." It states Musk exposed his erect penis to the SpaceX employee and "touched her and offered to purchase her a horse if she would 'do extra.'" 

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

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the good friend said within the declaration assertion. "And he started propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and instructed 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 cost, or disclosing information relating to SpaceX or Musk's businesses.

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