Elon Musk recently defended himself against sexual misconduct charges against a flight attendant, saying he wasn’t a flight attendant on his private jet, which he kept “just fruit and nuts”.
Fox Business reports that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is defending himself against sexual harassment allegations. Musk was accused of harassing a flight attendant on a private jet in 2016, who allegedly visualized his genitals and rubbed his leg while on a flight. It was reported that the escort was paid 250 thousand dollars severance pay in 2018.

Musk recently said on Twitter that he doesn’t use a flight attendant on his private jet, saying: “My plane (and many) smart watchers will notice that I’m not using a flight attendant. Plus, the plane only has fruit and nuts. I use flying as an opportunity to fast.”
Any keen observer of my flight (and many) will notice that I did not use the services of the flight attendant.
In addition, there are only fruits and nuts on the plane. I use flying as an opportunity to fast.

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell recently defended Musk in an email to employees. In his e-mail, Shotwell stated that he did not believe the allegations and said, “I do not find the allegations true; “It’s not because I’ve worked for Elon, but because I’ve worked closely with him for 20 years, and I’ve never seen or heard anything like these accusations.”
Musk has definitely been defending himself on Twitter since the story spiraled out of control, and when Business Insider contacted him for comment, it looked like he was really trying to push the story forward. Shortly after receiving a request for comment, Musk said:
Political attacks against me will increase sharply in the coming months.

Musk answered some questions about the timing of the information disclosure, and admitted that the information release was apparently timed to paint himself in a bad light after he “returned to the organization.”

Musk described the accusations as “brutal” and “totally untrue” and described the accuser as having wounds, tattoos, etc. on his body. urged to detect any visible traces. If I expose myself, they will see:
However, I challenge this liar who says his friends have seen me “exposed” – just describe something the public doesn’t know about, anything (scars, tattoos,…). He couldn’t because it didn’t happen.

Musk added that all attacks against him should be viewed from a political lens:
Attacks on me must be viewed through a political lens – which is their usual (hell) scenario – but nothing will stop me from fighting for a better future and your right to speak freely.
