Elon Musk uncovered himself to SpaceX flight attendant, based on 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 private jet, according to a Enterprise Insider report revealed Thursday evening.

The publication's report, written by Rich 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 claim brought towards Musk by the worker. The documents 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 change for an erotic massage."

The documents embrace a declaration signed by the attendant's good friend, in addition to electronic mail correspondence and other materials obtained by Enterprise Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred during a personal therapeutic massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He supplied an initial response earlier than ultimately severing communication.

"If I have been inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my whole 30-year career that it comes to mild," Musk told Business Insider. He also characterized the inquiry as a "politically motivated hit piece," based on the publication.

SpaceX Vice President of Legal Christopher Cardaci refused to comment on "any settlement agreements" when reached by cellphone, 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 throughout a flight and was discovered "fully bare except for a sheet covering the lower half of his body." It states Musk exposed his erect penis to the SpaceX employee and "touched her and supplied to buy her a horse if she would 'do extra.'" 

The attendant, an equestrian, declined Musk's supply, in response to the pal's declaration obtained by Enterprise Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the pal mentioned within the declaration statement. "And he began propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and told her he would buy her a horse. And he mainly tried to bribe her to carry out some kind 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 data relating to SpaceX or Musk's businesses.

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