One user made a bold prediction that Musk was going to have a meltdown because he knows a story about him being a pedophile is about to come out.
The hunch turned out to be correct just hours later, when Insider reported that one of its employees had been paid $250,000 to keep quiet about an improper sexual advance from Musk.
According to documents obtained byInsider, the woman who was working for Musk as a flight attendant on one of his corporate jets said that he exposed his genitals to her and rubbed her leg without her consent.
One of the woman's responsibilities was to perform massages for Musk. Musk touched her and offered to buy her a horse if she did more sex acts, according to a declaration signed by a friend. The woman is riding a horse.
She thought Mr. Musk was a good person to look up to.
It's not good for a boss to approach employees for sex. The woman alleged that they retaliate if that request is declined.
She thought she could just go back to normal and pretend nothing happened.
According to the declaration, the attendant felt that she was being pushed out of her job because she refused to prostitution.
According to Insider, the company agreed to a $250,00 settlement after a single session with a mediation, which Musk attended personally.
The woman signed a nondisclosure agreement that prevented her from talking about the allegations.
That's striking, because Musk has railed against what he sees as incursions on free speech on the site and in society at large, even though he sometimes works to do so.
A woman's friend toldInsider that there are predator all over the world.
There was a lot more to this story, according to Musk.
He told the outlet that their story was a political one, and that it was unlikely to be the first time in his entire career that it came to light.
There is more on Elon Musk.
