Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is back in the news. On this occasion due to a case of sexual harassment that occurred in 2016 against a stewardess who worked for the corporate jet fleet of Space X, a company that Musk owns and heads. Musk would have paid him $ 550, 000 dollars for the silence of she.
According to Business Insider, the stewardess accuses him of showing his penis erect, rubbing his leg without his permission, and offering a horse as a bribe in return for a sexual favor. The outlet cites documentation where the severance agreement and an interview with the flight attendant’s friend are mentioned .
In the friend’s statements, she mentions that the stewardess told her that After agreeing to go to work, she was invited to take a masseuse course to be able to massage Musk. In one of the massages, in a private cabin on the plane, she was that the incident occurred. “She was upset. She didn’t know what to do,” said the friend.
After the refusal, the stewardess gradually lost her job as her shifts were reduced, the friend said. “I previously considered Musk a person to look up to…But after he exposed himself, touched her without permission and offered to pay her for sex, I was filled with anxiety,” the statement reads.
When contacted via email by the media outlet, Musk described the situation as “politically motivated”, said that there was “much more to that story” and asked for more time to respond.
Through Twitter he said that “ the attacks against me must be seen through a political lens . This is your (despicable) standard manual, but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and for your right to freedom of expression.”
The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will stop me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech
