Elon Musk Accused of Sexual Assault by  SpaceX Flight Attendant During Massaage

The alleged victim worked as a crew member on a SpaceX business mission, according to one of the flight attendant's friend. Musk asked her for a full body massage in his room during one of the trips, the attendant informed her friend, adding that this was not unusual and that SpaceX had encouraged her to earn a masseuse license.

Musk allegedly pulled the sheet covering his lower half of his body during the massage, exposing his erect penis while kneading her leg, according to her. He allegedly offered to buy the attendant a horse in exchange for her "doing more."

One of the flight attendant's friends told Insider about the allegations after the attendant's attorney requested him to sign a declaration supporting the claims in 2018.

According to Insider, the flight attendant declined to perform any sexual acts on Musk and was "very furious" after the journey. Following the event, her companion claimed that SpaceX reduced the number of shifts she was assigned, which the attendant interpreted as vengeance.

According to Insider, the flight attendant complained to SpaceX's HR department in 2018, claiming that her career had suffered as a result of her rejection. According to reports, the firm brought the complaint to a mediator rather than a court or an arbitrator, and the attendant signed a $250,000 severance agreement prohibiting her from criticizing Musk or his companies, including SpaceX and Tesla.

According to Insider, the flight attendant was not consulted before coming forward with the story, and the alleged victim declined to comment. A non-disclosure agreement was not signed by the attendant's acquaintance.

"For the record, those outlandish charges are totally incorrect," Elon tweeted in response to the allegations after the news published on Thursday.

Musk says in a subsequent tweet that "attacks against me should be evaluated through a political lens" - it's unclear whether this refers to Insider, the whistleblower, or both.
