The world’s richest man. Elon Musk, is currently at the center of a massive scandal. The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX owner is being accused of indecent conduct with a space flight attendant. And according to records, his company paid $250,000 to silence her. Let’s get into the shocking details. Apparently, this all happened back in 2018 after Musk had multiple instances of inappropriate conduct with the flight attendant.
The flight attendant must remain anonymous because of an NDA. But her friend shared more details on her behalf. The flight attendant worked as a member of the cabin crew on a contract basis for Space X’s corporate jet fleet. She claimed that Musk exposed himself to her, rubbed her leg without consent, and even offered to buy her things if she would give him an erotic massage.
According to interviews and documents obtained by Insider, the incident first happened in 2016, according to a declaration by the friend. The flight attendant confided in her friend that when she got the job, she was encouraged to become a licensed missus so that she could give musk massages. It was during one such massage in a private cabin on Musk’s Gulfstream that she told her friend that Musk proposition, her.
Insider asked Musk for comment and he replied that there is, quote, a lot more to this story and added, quote, If I were inclined to engage in attachment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30 year career that it comes to light. Calling the story a politically motivated hit piece. For more specific details, the flight attendant claimed it must ask her to come to his room in 2016 for a, quote, full body massage.
When she got to the room, she saw that musk was naked other than a sheet covering the lower half of his body. During this massage, he exposed himself and then offered to buy her a horse if she would, quote, do more. This was the offer because the woman like to ride horses. The flight attendant declined this offer and continued on with the normal massage.
The friend said that the flight attendant told her about this misconduct while they were on a hike together shortly after the London trip. The friend described the attendant as distraught and visibly shaken, saying, quote, She was really upset. She didn’t know what to do. Shortly after she rejected his advances, her work with the company started to slow. The friend stated, quote, She figured things could go back to normal and she would pretend like nothing happened.
However, she started to feel as if she was receiving some sort of retaliation where her shifts were cut back. She was starting to feel really stressed. Eventually, she became sure she was blacklisted for rejecting him. Then, in 2018, after becoming convinced she was fired for rejecting his advances, she contacted an employment lawyer to help her get justice. The case was settled quickly after a session with a mediator that Musk personally attended.
The matter never reached a court of law or an arbitration proceeding. In November of 2018, Musk Space X and the flight attendant entered into a severance agreement granting the attendant a $250,000 payment in exchange for a promise not to sue over the claims. This agreement also included an NDA that would prevent her from discussing the severance and any other key details.
Musk has vehemently denied these claims and states this is all happening because he stated on Twitter that he will be voting Republican in the next election. The day before the article came out, Elon tweeted, quote, In the past, I voted Democrat because they were mostly the kindness party, but they have become the party of division and hate. So I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold. Supporters have come to Elon’s defense with one person tweeting, quote, Where were these wild accusations against Elon Musk before he took a stand against the establishment? Elon then replied back to that tweet saying, quote, Exactly. And for the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue. All right. I guess that’s all for the story today.
