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

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former worker through his aerospace firm SpaceX after sexually propositioning her during a 2016 encounter aboard his private jet, according to a Enterprise Insider report printed Thursday night.

The publication's report, written by Rich 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 declare brought in opposition to Musk by the employee. The documents state the employee accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and offering to purchase her a horse in change for an erotic therapeutic massage."

The paperwork embrace a declaration signed by the attendant's pal, as well as electronic mail correspondence and other supplies obtained by Business Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred during a private massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for comment Wednesday. He provided an initial response before finally 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 career that it involves mild," Musk advised Enterprise Insider. He also characterized the inquiry as a "politically motivated hit piece," according to the publication.

SpaceX Vice President of Legal Christopher Cardaci refused to comment on "any settlement agreements" when reached by cellphone, in line with Enterprise Insider.

The declaration describes the 2016 encounter which led to the later settlement as occurring late within the 12 months. It states Musk beckoned the attendant to his room during a flight and was discovered "completely bare apart from a sheet masking the decrease half of his body." It states Musk uncovered 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, in response to the good friend's declaration obtained by Business Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the good friend said in the declaration statement. "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 kind 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 information regarding SpaceX or Musk's businesses.

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