Billionaire Ilan Musk on Friday tweeted a “completely false” claim in a news report about the sexual harassment of a flight attendant on a private jet in 2016.
And Business Insider reported earlier Thursday that SpaceX Mask paid $ 250,000 in 2018 to investigate a harassment complaint by a flight attendant, without naming him, who accused Mask of nudity against him. .
The report was attributed to an unidentified woman who said she was a friend of the host. He added that the friend testified as part of the confidential settlement process.
“I challenge this liar who claims his friend saw me naked to describe just one thing at all (Oscars, tattoos, etc.), something people do not know,” Musk wrote on Twitter.
And to record, those brutal accusations are completely false

Reuters said it could not confirm the Business Insider report, and both Mask and SpaceX did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment on the report or Mask tweets.
Business Insider quoted a friend of the flight attendant as saying that the attendant, in addition to undressing in front of him, touched the flight attendant’s thigh and offered him a massage on the plane.
According to Business Insider, the presenter now believes that the rejection of Mask’s offer damaged his chances of working in SpaceX and forced him to hire a lawyer in 2018.
The website said the rocket maker had settled out of court and included an agreement not to disclose what had happened, barring the steward from talking about it. This news site does not mention the name of the friend or host.
And Musk, who is also Tesla CEO, is in the midst of a controversial deal to buy Twitter. He said Wednesday that he would vote for the Republican Party instead of the Democrat, and predicted a “dirty conspiracy campaign” against him.
In a report from Business Insider, Musk said the host’s story was “politically motivated” and “will be more than that.”
“The attacks against me must be seen from a political perspective, this is their (hateful) style, but nothing can stop me from fighting for a good future and your right to freedom of expression,” Musk wrote on Twitter on Thursday. He did not explicitly mention the allegations in a Business Insider report.
The attacks on me must be viewed from a political perspective – this is their standard (disgusting) book – but nothing can stop me from fighting for a good future and your right to freedom of expression.

In another tweet, Musk added: “As a reminder, these cruel accusations are completely false.”
He also said that the report intends to influence the purchase of Twitter.
