Seems to be just like the Elon Musk rocket is about to crash and burn…
So should you don’t observe the Tesla CEO on Twitter — you already know, the app he thought he was about to purchase — there was fairly the fascinating improvement on Wednesday. He put out a collection of tweets about how he’ll completely vote Republican as a result of Democrats are evil, blah blah blah. However then he adopted it up with a pair extra ominous messages:
“Now watch their soiled tips marketing campaign in opposition to me unfold…”
and…
“Political assaults on me will escalate dramatically in coming months”
For those who’ve been on this enterprise so long as we’ve, you may scent a PR technique like this a mile off. We instantly thought to ourselves, “OK, is Elon attempting to get forward of a foul story popping out?” In any case, information retailers attain out for a remark earlier than they publish — so public figures are very hardly ever blindsided by tales. To not point out the actual fact they know what they did…

Calling out future “political assaults” may fit along with his cultish followers, nevertheless it doesn’t actually make any sense. We imply… all he did was say he’s gonna vote Republican. It’s not like that’s an enormous shock. Most billionaires do, as a result of that’s the get together that offers them the most effective tax breaks.
Anyhoo, it solely took about 24 hours earlier than our suspicions had been confirmed. Enterprise Insider turned out to be the outlet with the news, and right here it’s:
Elon Musk secretly paid a SpaceX flight attendant $250,000 to settle a sexual misconduct declare in 2018. And so they have all the main points.
A buddy of the flight attendant opened as much as the location, signing a declaration and likewise handing over varied correspondence and paperwork. All the following comes from this supply and their information:
In response to the supply, the younger girl labored as cabin crew for SpaceX’s company jet fleet in 2016. After taking the job, she was inspired to get a therapeutic massage license as properly, particularly so she could possibly be tasked with giving Elon massages every time he wished. OK, ew already. The buddy says:
“They implied that she would get to fly extra usually if she had been to do that as a result of she’d be capable to give Elon correct massages. I assumed that was type of unusual as a result of — you weren’t employed to be a masseuse. You had been employed to be a flight attendant. And if Elon likes massages, then he ought to be paying so that you can go to masseuse faculty. However she was simply so joyful and desirous to have the job and be capable to journey.”
However that’s simply the beginning of the line-crossing. Throughout a flight to London on his Gulfstream G650ER, the lady claimed, Elon requested her to return to his non-public cabin to offer him “a full physique therapeutic massage.” When she entered, he “was utterly bare apart from a sheet protecting the decrease half of his physique.” Throughout the therapeutic massage, she mentioned, he purposely “uncovered his genitals” after which “touched her and provided to purchase her a horse if she would ‘do extra,’ referring to the efficiency of intercourse acts.”
Sorry, a horse?! What an odd element… The supply instructed the location:
“He whipped out his penis, it was erect. And he began propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and instructed her he would purchase her a horse. And he mainly tried to bribe her to carry out some type of sexual favor.”
Apparently the flight attendant rides horses, and Elon was knowledgeable of this in some unspecified time in the future. Anyway, she rejected the supply and continued with the therapeutic massage in an expert method.

Later she opened as much as the buddy about this whereas on a hike. The buddy described her as distraught over the incident:
“She was actually upset. She didn’t know what to do.”
First, the buddy says, this clearly ruined her job for her:
“Earlier than the incident, she regarded Mr. Musk as an individual to look as much as. However after he uncovered himself, touched her with out permission, and provided to pay her for intercourse, she was full of hysteria.”
Then the job began to go away, in a sample any waitress or different hourly employee who’s been the sufferer of misconduct will acknowledge:
“She figured issues might simply return to regular and he or she would faux like nothing occurred. Nonetheless, she began to really feel as if she was receiving some type of retaliation the place her shifts had been in the reduction of, and he or she was beginning to really feel actually harassed.”
The attendant (whose identification Insider says they’ve however are holding secret to guard a sufferer of sexual misconduct) felt like “she was being pushed out and punished for refusing to prostitute herself.” Finally, in 2018, she employed a lawyer and filed a criticism via SpaceX’s HR division. She instructed her story, and the legal professional received the buddy’s sworn assertion as up to date corroboration.
However this story by no means noticed a courtroom, therefore us by no means listening to something about it.
She and Elon met with a mediator, and he or she was provided a severance cost of $250k in trade for a promise by no means to file a lawsuit over the declare. The written settlement consists of non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses that stop her from telling this story to anybody else — or saying something in regards to the severance cost in any respect.
Yeah. It’s a hush cash cost.

The buddy, nonetheless, is just not certain by the settlement. And after Elon began going off about “free speech” and daylight being “the most effective disinfectant,” she felt an obligation to return ahead. She mentioned:
“I completely felt a accountability to return ahead with it, particularly now. He’s the richest man on the earth. Somebody with that degree of energy inflicting that type of hurt after which throwing some cash on the state of affairs, that’s not accountability. There are predators everywhere in the world. However when somebody is especially rich and highly effective, they actually have programs which might be like a machine working for them, to set them up to have the ability to do no matter they need.”
Curiously, California — the place SpaceX relies — now not permits the usage of NDAs in settlements involving sexual harassment, discrimination, or assault.
As we mentioned, Insider adopted the principles and reached out to Elon for remark. He emailed again asking for extra time to reply, telling them there’s “much more to this story.” He then argued:
“If I had been inclined to have interaction in sexual harassment, that is unlikely to be the primary time in my complete 30-year profession that it involves gentle.”
Insider really did give him an extension.
However after all, we all know what he did after that — he goes on-line and says he’s a goal of political assaults proper earlier than a damning piece comes out. He went exhausting pro-Republican and mentioned the boogeyman Democrats would come and get him for it. Hmm.. sounds oddly acquainted…
What do YOU take into consideration these accusations, Perezcious readers??
