ELON Musk wrote about a “scandal” on Twitter last year as the SpaceX CEO is facing sexual misconduct claims, according to a new report.
The richest man in the world was accused of “exposing” himself to a flight attendant and propositioning her for sex on his private jet, Insider first reported.

“If there’s ever a scandal about me, *please* call it Elongate,” the billionaire tweeted about a year ago.
That Gulfstream G650ER cost the billionaire $70 million and is now at the center of claims that Musk has called a “political hit.”
“Finally, we get to use Elongate as scandal name. It’s kinda perfect,” the billionaire later tweeted.
Pictures from inside the luxury model show it can fly the businessman and 17 other passengers around the world in the height of luxury.
Musk’s accuser claims it was on his jet in 2016 that he allegedly exposed his erect penis to her and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.
Documents seen by Business Insider show how the 2016 incident was alleged in papers signed by a friend of the flight attendant.
The friend also turned over records and other correspondence to Insider, the outlet said.
In an email to Insider, Musk said there is “a lot more to this story.”

“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,” he wrote, calling the story a “politically motivated hit piece.”
Christopher Cardaci, Vice President of Legal at SpaceX, told Insider, “I’m not going to comment on any settlement agreements.”
Musk also made a statement on Twitter about the allegations, writing: “The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.”
In a separate tweet, Musk called the allegations “wild” and “utterly untrue.”

The Gulfstream G650ER is one of the largest purpose-built private jets.

The first living area has four seats, each with its own window.
The whole cabin contains 16 panoramic windows which are the largest in the industry.
Another four-seat section comes in the second living area, which is typically used as a dining and conference area, thanks to the table installed in the center.
And the last living section is a private compartment that can seat another five passengers, Business Insider reports.
The jet is capable of inflight-wifi with each seat having its own 12-inch screen and power outlets.
Another 32-inch screen and two 16-inch screens are displayed in other parts of the cabin.
Each seat can fully recline and be transformed into a sleeping area.
Adding to the spacious interior are two restrooms with granite sinks.
