Years ago, SpaceX founder Elon Musk allegedly exposed himself to a SpaceX flight attendant before offering her a strange quid pro quo — he would give her a horse if she gave him an erotic massage. The company then reportedly paid the woman $250,000 to settle a 2018 sexual misconduct claim against Musk. In 2022, Musk denied the accusation: “If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light.”

✅翻译：多年前，SpaceX 创始人马斯克据称曾向公司的一名空姐暴露自己隐私部位，然后向她提出了一个奇怪的交换条件--如果她为他进行色情按摩，他就送她一匹马。据报道，该公司随后向这名女子支付了 25 万美元，以了结 2018 年针对马斯克的不端指控。2022年，马斯克否认了这一指控： "如果我有性骚扰的倾向，这不可能是我整个30年职业生涯中第一次被曝光。”

Now, two years later, more allegations involving Musk’s behavior in his relationships have emerged. The billionaire had relationships with a number of female employees at SpaceX, and pressed others for sexual favors, according to a new Wall Street Journal report, based on interviews with more than 48 sources as well as emails, texts, and records. Musk’s alleged string of sexual encounters, or requested ones, with women who worked for him are nothing short of salacious.
