American billionaire Elon Musk is once again at the center of a scandal. This time related to sexual harassment.

What happened?

In 2016, during a flight to London, Musk asked the flight attendant who served a private SpaceX flight to give him a full-body massage and offered to enter into an intimate relationship. As a thank you, the billionaire promised the girl to buy a horse.

The flight attendant's friend shared the story in an interview with Bisiness Insider. According to her, due to the refusal, Elon Musk began to interfere with the flight attendant in career advancement. This led to the fact that the girl filed a complaint with the SpaceX personnel department. Business Insider reports that the conflict was settled in the fall of 2018, and the flight attendant received $ 250,000 and signed a non-disclosure document. Apparently, something went wrong.

In turn, Elon Musk said that the accusations were false, but promised to comment separately on the incident. In addition, the billionaire wrote on Twitter that the accusations could be initiated by the US Democratic Party, which, according to the billionaire, is taking revenge on him for supporting political opponents. And here we return to one of the previous news, in which we wrote that due to criticism of the ESG Democrats, Elon Musk lost $12 billion.
