Elon Musk suspends Twitter purchase

According to a Business Insider article, a flight attendant accused Elon Musk of sexually harassing her on board the private jet of SpaceX, the company he owns, and of silencing her. The accusations have already been refuted by the magnate.

Musk has already responded on Twitter, denying the allegations and stating that the flight attendant is a “far-left activist from Los Angeles” and that “the only goal [da denúncia] should have prevented the Twitter purchase,” given that the journalistic article about the case was written without questioning Musk.

“And to be clear, these disturbing allegations are completely false,” he wrote in response to the tweet.

According to the published article, Musk flew to London in 2016 on a private jet and requested an in-flight massage.

Masseur initially hired as a hostess

So far, neither the host nor the lawyer wanted to comment on the media case, and SpaceX Vice President Christopher Kardachi only said that he did not intend to “talk about conciliatory agreements.”

Twitter was chosen by Musk for protection, where he even responded to a case report made by a Fox News reporter, a friend of the complainant, stating: “I have to challenge this liar who claims her friend saw me. “exposure”: Describe one thing – a tattoo, a scar, anything the public doesn’t know about. You can’t do it because it never happened,” the comment reads.

The South African mogul has been embroiled in a flurry of controversy over the past few weeks when he made his first bid to buy Twitter amid persistent rumors that he planned to cut the price or pull out of the sale.

“In my 30-year career, including the MeToo era, there has never been anything to point to, but as soon as I announce that I want to restore free speech on Twitter and vote Republican, problems arise…” Musk commented in another post. tweet.

Musk faced yet another controversy last Thursday when the Standard & Poor’s 500 Electoral Index removed his electric vehicle brand Tesla from a list of companies committed to social and environmental commitments, blaming the brand for racial discrimination and poor working conditions at one of its factories.
