Elon Musk is in hot water when it comes to his SpaceX company, but it's not for the reason you might think. As learned by Insider, a SpaceX flight attendant alleged that Musk sexually assaulted her back in 2016, detailing that the world's wealthiest man "exposed himself and propositioned her for sex." 

According to the publication, the employee claimed that Musk asked for "a full body massage," and she subsequently found him fully naked underneath a sheet. She then alleged that he exposed himself and "touched her and offered to buy her a horse if she would 'do more,' referring to the performance of sex acts." To add an additional layer of complexity to the case, the flight attendant's friend — who she disclosed the circumstances to at the time — signed an official declaration detailing the accusations, bolstering the employee's claims. 

To make matters even more concerning, the employee detailed that she was paid $250,000 in exchange for her silence two years after the alleged incident took place. According to the Daily Mail, however, the California laws on the agreement between the two have since changed, making her able to speak freely about her experience with Musk. 

"I absolutely felt a responsibility to come forward with it, especially now," the flight attendant's friend said in a statement to Insider. "He is the richest man in the world. Someone with that level of power causing that kind of harm and then throwing some money at the situation, that's not accountability."
