As billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk predicted, it was only a matter of hours after he declared he’ll vote as a Republican in future elections that he was attacked by the mainstream media, with Business Insider leading the way with a claim from a flight attendant that Musk acted inappropriately with her in the past.
According to the New York Post, Musk insisted that the claim was false and simply an attempt to smear him for ditching the Democratic Party, even going as far as calling out the woman to describe a part of his anatomy “not known by the public,” which she should know, given she claims he exposed himself to her on a flight several years ago.
The supposed incident occurred in 2016. At the time, as most corporations do, SpaceX settled the claim out of court, reportedly paying the woman $250,000, which is far less expensive that risking a company’s CEO garnering bad press and tanking the stock price, whether the claim was true or completely false.
Musk has described the former flight attendant as a “far-left actress,” who he claims has a “major political ax to grind” against him, he said in the wake of the Insider report.
The alleged incident
The flight attendant, one of Musk’s employees, claims that Musk exposed his genitals to her aboard the private flight.
The Insider report added that “Musk was also accused of rubbing the flight attendant’s leg without permission and offering to buy her a horse if she gave him an erotic massage onboard the plane.”
Many believe that the accusations only surfaced in the wake of the left’s outrage over Musk attempting to purchase Twitter, and his very public, right-leaning and pro-free speech views.
Musk, a genius, seems to be having a bit of fun with the situation and placing the ball right back in the accuser’s court, given his latest tweet.
The challenge
Leave it to Musk to come up with a brilliant test to determine whether or not the flight attendant is telling the truth.
But 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. She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened.

So far, the friend or accuser has not come forward to answer the challenge. No surprise there.
There are also developing reports that “malicious bots” helped spread the “Elongate scandal,” though even if that’s true, the story doesn’t seem to have gained the media traction that Musk’s enemies in government and the media were hoping. Make no mistake — they’ll likely soon try again.
