The attendant worked for SpaceX’s corporate aircraft fleet as a member of the cabin crew on a contract basis. The attendant further shares that Musk exposed his genitals to her, rubbed her leg without her permission, and offered to purchase her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.She had to do a course of masseuse to offer massages, especially to Elon. Musk propositioned her during one of such massages in a private cabin of his Gulfstream G650ER.

He further said that these are just wild accusations and are not true. In response to the allegations, he tweeted, “And, for the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue. But I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me “exposed” – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public. She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened.”
Responding to a supporting tweet Elon said that the person in question is a far-left activist and why did she not come forward all this time and now when he is taking a stand against the establishment all these fake claims are hurled at him to silence him. in his own words, “Exactly. Moreover, the “friend” in question who gave the interview to BI, is a far left activist/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.”
On being asked if he responded to the reporters from BI, Elon replied, “No, it was clear that their only goal was a hit price to interfere with the Twitter acquisition. The story was written before they even talked to me.”
The attendant who is supposedly the victim is a horse-rider as well. She declined Musk’s request to perform sexual favors for gifts. The attendant further said on Elon’s face that she was not someone who was for sale. The incident occurred when Musk took a private flight to London in 2016.
“If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light”

Musk has taken to Twitter to share that this entire thing is nothing but a politically motivated move. When one of the netizens asked if he had responded to Business Insider for the article so published, Musk replied that the entire aim of this story was to create an issue for his acquisition of Twitter and nothing else.

After she was sure that her rejection to accept Musk’s sexual offer had harmed her employability, the attendant engaged a California employment lawyer and filed a formal complaint with the company’s human resources department in 2018. Around that time, the law firm called the friend and requested that she submit a declaration verifying the charges.
After a meeting with a mediator that Musk personally attended, the attendant’s issue was immediately settled. The case to date is not set forth in a court of law or in arbitration. Musk, SpaceX, and the flight attendant reached a severance arrangement in November 2018, with the attendant receiving a $250,000 payout in return for a pledge not to litigate over the accusations.
