The American space company SpaceX paid a quarter of a million dollars in 2018 to a flight attendant who accused owner and multi-billionaire Elon Musk of transgressive behaviour.
Musk would have touched the woman during a flight and showed his member, writes news site Insider (formerly Business Insider) based on documents and conversations indirectly involved. He would also have promised the woman a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.
The incident took place in 2016 aboard one of SpaceX’s corporate jets. At the time, the woman was employed by the company as a flight attendant. According to Insider sources, she ignored her boss’s behaviour.
Two years later, feeling that this had diminished her career prospects at SpaceX, she filed an official complaint against Musk. SpaceX then offered to buy off her employment contract for $250,000, on the condition that she would not reveal anything about what had happened.
Insider writes that without the woman’s knowledge, she was approached by a friend of hers, who also shared the documents.
