Elon Musk has made headlines a lot this week.
You know, one for his Twitter deal, kind of falling apart two for announcing that he's
now gonna start voting for Republicans after voting for Democrats, because Democrats are
just so darn mean.
They used to be the party of kindness.
He says, but now they're not.
So he is totally going with the capital riot party because apparently they're nicer.
And yesterday the truth really came out.
We found out why Elon Musk has been trying to trash Democrats.
We found out why Elon Musk has been tweeting out cryptic messages that the political attacks
on me are only gonna get worse in the coming months because Elon Musk knew that a story
was about to break and break.
It did the story is that a SpaceX flight attendant in 2016, alleged that she was sexually harassed
and propositioned by Mr. Musk on a flight to London, where she was giving him a massage
on the plane.
He exposed his erect penis to her and was rubbing her thigh, propositioning her for
an erotic massage and allegedly again, offered to buy her a horse if she went through with
his requests.
And we know this because one of the friends of the flight attendant who wrote a sworn
statement to a lawyer about what she had heard from her friend end, has now been revealed
to the public.
Have to be a little clear here.
No charges were ever filed.
Okay.
All of this is alleged, but here's more to the story in 20 18, 2 years after the incident,
the flight attendant, according to these records basically was or felt like she was being retaliated
against right.
Her hours were being cut for the last two years after she denied Musk's request.
Um, she wasn't advancing in the company.
She felt her opportunities had been diminished or outright revoked because she didn't go
through with Elon Musk's requests.
So she goes to a California lawyer.
She tells them what happened.
And of course that's where the friend sign, uh, uh, you know, writes out the declaration,
gives it to the attorney.
So the attorney goes to SpaceX.
SpaceX says, okay, listen, we're gonna sit down with a mediator.
And they did.
This was not an official arbitration.
It was just a mediator.
Elon Musk was personally there during this, you know, impromptu mediation.
And they agreed on paying the flight attendant a $250,000 severance on the condition that
she signed an NDA non-disclosure agreement, along with a non-disparagement agreement,
meaning one non-disclosure.
You can't tell anybody what he allegedly did.
And two, you also can't go out there and talk bad about our company.
That's the non-disparagement clause.
She signed the documents, the friend with her sworn declaration approached the lawyer
recently and said, can I release my declaration?
And the lawyer said, well, you didn't sign an NDA.
So technically you can, but understand this could put your friend, you know, in, in a
bad spot, but the friend felt that this was the time to tell the story.
It had been silent for too long.
You know, the payment did happen.
We know the payment happened.
This former flight attendant got $250,000.
She's not allowed to explain what happened.
And she was, you know, released from the company.
But as far as this behavior alleged to have happened from Elon Musk, this is a big deal.
And to be clear, this is also the first time anybody has come forward with these kind of
allegations against Musk.
So, you know, it's not building on a pattern of behavior.
This is allegedly the first time, at least that we know of, but Musk knew the story was
gonna break because they reached out to him for comment.
And he requested, you know, gimme more time to make a comment.
And then he just never got back with him.
So they finally released the story, but he knew the story was coming, which is why he
started coming out this week talking about, oh, the political hits against me are gonna
get so bad, but rather than actually address the story, he decided to go ahead and try
to muddy the waters on Twitter, which isn't exactly the actions of somebody who's got
nothing to hide in my opinion.
Right.
I wasn't there.
I don't know what happened again.
All of this is just alleged, but Musk's behavior.
Isn't exactly what you would expect from someone who allegedly has nothing
to hide.
