Elon Musk’s firm, SpaceX, is said to have paid $250,000 to settle sexual harassment charges by a flight attendant on a private jet, according to a report (TWTR.N).

Here’s a rundown of some of the most pressing legal issues raised by the accusations, as reported by Business Insider. The charges have been refuted by Musk.

WHAT ARE THE CLAIMS AGAINST WITH MUSK?

According to Business Insider, SpaceX paid $250,000 to settle charges made by an unknown private jet flight attendant who accused Musk of exposing himself to her in 2018. According to the post, an unidentified source claimed to be a friend of the flight attendant. According to reports, the friend gave a statement as part of a private settlement process.

Musk slammed the charges “completely false” and said the purported exposure “never happened” in a series of tweets on Thursday. The Business Insider report was not independently confirmed by Reuters.

HAS MUSK FACED ANY SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUITS OR COMPLAINTS IN THE PAST?

No. Musk has faced no additional complaints of public harassment.

IS THERE ANY SEXUAL HARASSMENT OR OTHER EMPLOYMENT LAWS AGAINST MUSK’S COMPANIES?

Tesla has been accused of racial and gender discrimination, including a race prejudice class-action lawsuit filed in California state court and a complaint filed by the California Department of Fair Housing and Employment alleging widespread discrimination.

Since late last year, at least seven women have sued Tesla for sexual harassment and discrimination. These lawsuits are still in the early stages of development.
