Elon Musk took to Twitter on Thursday night to lash out at a woman who accused him of sexually harassing her boyfriend aboard his private jet in 2016.
Musk is currently facing a sexual misconduct claim. It’s about the billionaire who suggests he could buy a horse for a SpaceX flight attendant if she was willing to perform sexual acts with him.
These details were revealed in a bombshell Insider investigation into the incident published earlier Thursday.
About seven hours after the Insider piece was released, Musk responded to a Twitter user who wrote, “Where were these wild accusations against @elonmusk before he took a stand against the establishment?”
“Exactly”, Musk tweeted, add that he thought these were “wild accusations” that were “totally untrue”.
He then called Insider’s source — a friend of the flight attendant who accused Musk of making her a proposal.
“But I have a challenge for this liar who claims that their friend saw me ‘exposed’ – describe only one thing, everything (scars, tattoos, …) that is not known to the public. She will not be able to do because it never happened,” Musk tweeted†
He then went on to say that the woman’s girlfriend, whom Insider spoke to, is “a far-left activist/actress in LA with a big political axe.”
Musk then claimed he never responded to Insider’s requests for comment, tweet: “No, it was clear their only goal was a hit prize to disrupt Twitter acquisition. The story was written before they even talked to me.”
Contrary to what Musk claimed, Insider did contact Musk for comment on his story. Responding via email, he said there was “a lot more to this story”.
“If I’m prone to sexual harassment, it’s unlikely this will be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it’s come to light,” he wrote to Insider, also calling the story a “politically motivated hit piece.” mentioned. †
Musk did not respond to Insider’s reiteration of an offer to comment on the claims, despite being given more time to do so.
Musk has repeatedly claimed that he is being attacked for his political views† This week he also called the Democratic Party a “party of division and hatred” while vowing to vote Republican.
