On May 20, Beijing time, according to the insider website, in 2018, the US space exploration technology company (SpaceX) under Elon Musk paid a US $250000 (about 1.7 million yuan) sealing fee to a stewardess in order to end the accusation of improper sexual behavior against musk.
The stewardess is a flight attendant who works for the SpaceX business aircraft fleet according to the contract. According to the interview and documents obtained by insider, she accused musk of exposing her private parts, stroking her legs without consent, and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for a pornographic massage.
The incident occurred in 2016, and a friend of the flight attendant signed a statement ready to support her allegations. The details of this report come from this statement and other documents, including the e-mail correspondence and other records shared by this friend with insider.
According to the statement, the stewardess revealed to her friends that after accepting the job of stewardess, she was encouraged to apply for a masseuse license so that she could massage musk. She told the friend that musk asked her to have sex while massaging him in a private cabin of Musk's Gulfstream g650er private plane.

In 2018, convinced that rejecting Musk's offer reduced her chances at SpaceX, the stewardess hired a California employment lawyer and sent a complaint to the company's human resources department detailing the incident. At that time, the law firm contacted her friend and asked her to prepare a statement to confirm her statement.
Her complaint was quickly resolved after a mediation meeting of a mediator, which musk personally attended. The matter has never entered court or arbitration proceedings. In November 2018, musk, SpaceX and the stewardess reached a resignation agreement and paid US $250000 to the flight attendants. In exchange, the stewardess promised not to sue musk.
Musk responded by email that he needed more time to respond to the accusation and said "there is still a lot of content in this story". "If I'm prone to sexual harassment, it's unlikely that I'll be exposed for the first time in my 30-year career," he wrote, calling the report a "politically motivated hot article".
"I will not comment on any settlement agreement," said Christopher cardaci, vice president of legal affairs at SpaceX SpaceX has yet to comment.
