Ms. Shotwell was addressing an article by Business Insider last week that said Mr. Musk propositioned a flight attendant for a sexual massage during a flight to London in 2016. He also exposed himself to the attendant and offered her a horse, according to the article, the details of which were not independently verified by The New York Times.
The unidentified woman hired an employment lawyer in 2018 and sent a complaint to SpaceX’s human resources department, according to Business Insider. SpaceX settled later that year, paying the woman $250,000 in exchange for a promise not to sue over the claims.
