"You do become a part of that machine that allows someone like Elon Musk to continue to do the horrible things that he's done."

In 2018, after becoming convinced that her refusal to accept Musk's proposal had diminished her opportunities at SpaceX, the attendant hired a California employment lawyer and sent a complaint to the company's human resources department detailing the episode. The attendant "is not for sale," the friend's declaration said. When she arrived, the attendant found that Musk "was completely naked except for a sheet covering the lower half of his body." The friend said that the attendant told her about the misconduct while they were on a hike together shortly after the London trip. "And he started propositioning her, like he touched her thigh and told her he would buy her a horse.
