The internet is reacting to a report from Insider that Musk paid a woman $250,000 to settle a sexual harassment case.
The woman was working as a flight attendant on the corporate jets when the incident took place. The woman accused Musk of showing his erect penis to her, as well as rubbing her leg without her consent.
This is not good enough. Musk allegedly offered to buy the woman a horse if she performed sex acts on him.

The revelation of negative news about Musk isn't a surprise. The billionaire appeared to be trying to get ahead of something, as he was already speculating that an unflattering story might break.
Musk said that political attacks on him will escalate in the coming months. On Wednesday.
I used to vote Democrat because they were mostly the kindness party, but now I will vote Republican because they have become the party of division and hate. Watch their dirty tricks campaign against me.
The publication reached out to Musk at 9 a.m., less than four hours before Musk took to the internet to say he would be attacked.

Musk called the story a political hit piece, but did not comment on the allegations themselves. Musk called his prediction of persecution "spot on" following the publication of the article.
The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens, but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.
Musk hasn't addressed the allegations himself.
A good way for Musk to fight for free speech would be to release people from their non-disclosure agreements and allow them to speak freely about their encounters with him.

Last year, Musk wrote on his verified account that "Tesla policy is never to give in to false claims, even if we would lose, and never to fight true claims, even if we would win."

It is not clear if the policy of the company is the same as that of the CEO. If it is, Musk's choice to settle this case could indicate the sexual misconduct allegations against him are true.
