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

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk allegedly paid off a former worker by way of his aerospace firm SpaceX after sexually propositioning her throughout a 2016 encounter aboard his private jet, based on a Business Insider report published Thursday night.

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 against Musk by the worker. The paperwork state the worker accused Musk of "exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg with out consent, and offering to buy her a horse in trade for an erotic therapeutic massage."

The documents include a declaration signed by the attendant's buddy, in addition to electronic mail correspondence and other supplies obtained by Enterprise Insider. They alleged that the incident in question occurred during a personal massage on Musk's Gulfstream jet. The publication reached out to Musk for remark Wednesday. He offered an preliminary response earlier than finally severing communication.

SpaceX Vice President of Legal Christopher Cardaci refused to comment on "any settlement agreements" when reached by telephone, in response to Enterprise 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 found "completely naked apart from a sheet protecting the lower half of his physique." It states Musk exposed his erect penis to the SpaceX worker and "touched her and supplied to buy her a horse if she would 'do extra.'" 

The attendant, an equestrian, declined Musk's provide, in line with the pal's declaration obtained by Business Insider. 

"He whipped out his penis, it was erect," the friend said within the declaration assertion. "And he started propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and told 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 package deal included non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses that barred the attendant from mentioning the incidents or payment, or disclosing data regarding SpaceX or Musk's companies.

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