[#Musk accused of sexual harassment by flight attendant# out to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage]
According to the Insider website, in 2018, Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX) paid a sealing fee of $250,000 (about 1.7 million yuan) to a flight attendant to settle the sexual misconduct allegations against Musk.
The flight attendant was a flight attendant who worked under contract for the SpaceX business jet fleet. According to the Inside Story interview and documents obtained, she accused Musk of exposing her erection to her private parts, stroking her legs without consent, and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.
The incident occurred in 2016 when a friend of the flight attendant signed a statement preparing to support her allegations. Details of the story come from the statement and other documents, including email correspondence and other records the friend shared with Insider.
According to the statement, the flight attendant revealed to her friend that after accepting a job as a flight attendant, she was encouraged to apply for a masseuse license so she could give Musk a massage. She told the friend that Musk made sexual demands on her while giving him a massage in a private cabin on Musk's Gulfstream G650ER private jet.
In 2018, after convincing that rejecting Musk's offer reduced her chances at SpaceX, the flight attendant hired a California employment lawyer and sent a complaint to the company's human resources department detailing the incident. That's when the law firm contacted her friend and asked her to prepare a statement to confirm her claims.
Her complaint was resolved quickly after a mediation meeting of mediators, in which Musk attended in person. The matter never went to court or arbitration. In November 2018, Musk, SpaceX and the flight attendant reached a separation agreement to pay $250,000 to the flight attendants. In exchange, the flight attendant promised not to sue Musk.
In response, Musk emailed in response that he needed more time to respond to the allegation, saying that "there is a lot of content in this story." "If I had a tendency to sexual harassment, it would also be unlikely that I would have been exposed for the first time in my 30-year career," he wrote, calling the story a "politically motivated hit article."
Christopher Cardaci, SpaceX's vice president of legal affairs, said: "I would not comment on any settlement." SpaceX has not commented. #Musk has been charged against the flight attendant bright guy #@Phoenix.com
