Elon Musk named for sexually harassing air hostess, now he tweets sexual innuendo on Twitter
India Today
Elon Musk allegedly sexually harassed an air hostess by exposing himself in front of her during body massage. Now, reacting to the allegations he is tweeting sexual innuendos on Twitter by calling the whole issue "Elongate."
How do you react to allegations of sexual harassment against you? Well, it seems that Elon Musk believes that such allegations need to be countered with sexual innuendo. Or so implies his tweet in the wake of allegations that a few years ago Musk sexually harassed an air hostess employed by SpaceX, Musk's rocket ship company. Referring to allegations that Musk fully exposed himself to the air hostess after calling her to his flight cabin for a full body massage, the world's richest man tweeted that the issue can be called "Elongate".
The tweet is a play on word "elongate" and the way Musk has used it can be referred to as a sexual innuendo as the word suggests erection.
In a tweet, Musk said: "Finally, we get to use Elongate as scandal name. It’s kinda perfect."
At the end of the tweet Musk, who recently replied to Twitter CEO with a poop emoji, put a tweet implying ROFL.
The matter, though, doesn't seem to be a ROFL matter. A news story suggests that a former SpaceX flight attendant accused Musk of sexually harassing her in 2016 during a flight to London. The report by Business Insider claims that SpaceX, the space company owned by Musk, paid the air hostess $250,000 to be silent and keep the matter hush-hush.
Musk has denied these claims in his latest tweet. Instead, he says that the world should look into the allegations “through a political lens”. In other words, he suggests that the allegations are a conspiracy of politicians against him. The Tesla CEO, who is likely to be the Twitter owner soon, has also termed the allegations "utterly untrue".
According to the news story, in 2016 during a flight to London Musk asked the air hostess to come to his flight cabin to give him "a full body massage". When she entered the cabin, she was surprised to see Musk "completely naked except for a sheet covering the lower half of his body”. Musk then reportedly "exposed his genitals" and "touched her and offered to buy her a horse if she would 'do more,' referring to the performance of sex acts”.
