Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has denied paying a $250k settlement fee to cover up sexual harassment charges made by a SpaceX flight attendant.

The assertion was made in a Business Insider piece, which claimed that the payment was given as part of a severance agreement to the flight attendant (who was not identified). The deal was said to have happened in 2018.

According to Business Insider, the arrangement also stipulated that the flight attendant not sue or reveal any information about Elon Musk or his companies. In support of the charges, the news outlet included papers, email conversations, interviews, and a declaration signed by a friend of the attendant.

Elon Musk refutes this

“I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me ‘exposed’ – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public,” Elon Must tweeted. .”

Elon Musk also stated that the charges were completely incorrect.

On the other hand, Business Insider stuck by its story, saying, “We stand by our story which is based on documents and interviews and which speaks for itself.”

Musk continued to dispute the narrative, claiming it was a “political hit job” and that the attacks were politically driven.

My commitment:

– We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

– We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.
