Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been accused of sexual harassment in a new hit piece from a left-wing media outlet, shortly after he announced he was turning against Democrats to vote Republican.
On Thursday, Business Insider published claims that Musk “exposed himself” to a former employee of his aerospace company SpaceX.
The outlet claims a “friend” of the employee said they saw the incident happen at the time.
However, in responding to the allegations, Musk said the “witness” is a “far-left activist” and that the claims are “politically motivated.”
Musk then issued a challenge to the “far-left activist” to provide corroborating evidence that only someone who had seen him “expose himself” would know.
“And, for the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue,” Musk said on Twitter.
“But I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me ‘exposed’ – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public.
“She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened.”

“The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their [the Democrats] standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech,” he added.

Musk also jokingly referenced an old post of his where he said if he is ever caught up in a scandal, he wants to call it “Elongate.”
“Finally, we get to use Elongate as scandal name. It’s kinda perfect,” he said.

When asked if he responded to the reporters who wrote the story, he said:
“No, it was clear that their only goal was a hit price to interfere with the Twitter acquisition.
“The story was written before they even talked to me.”
Johnna Crider said,
“It’s strange how their friend is the one who came forward years after it supposedly happened while claiming they can’t stay silent.
“It’s a story based on hearsay. ‘My friend said.’ No proof.”
Musk said:
“Exactly. Moreover, the “friend” in question who gave the interview to BI, is a far left activist/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.”

He also clarified his workload: “To be clear, I’m spending <5% (but actually) of my time on the Twitter acquisition.
“It ain’t rocket science!
“Yesterday was Giga Texas, today is Starbase.
“Tesla is on my mind 24/7.
“So may seem like below, but not true.”
As many were quick to point out on social media, however, the allegations against Musk have emerged almost immediately after he announced he is turning against the Democrats.
As Slay News first reported earlier this week, Musk said that Democrats have “become the party of division & hate.”
In a post on Twitter, Musk said he “can no longer support” the Democratic Party due to their divisiveness.
He also warned that he expects retaliation from the Democrats for flipping to the GOP.
“In the past, I voted Democrat because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” Musk explained.
“But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
“Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.”
