Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that when it comes to President Biden, “the real president is the teleprompter.” He made the comments on a video episode of The All-In Podcast.
Elon Musk asked the woman who accused him of sexual misconduct to describe details of his private body parts that are “unknown to the public” to refute her claims.
“But I have a challenge for this liar who claims her friend saw me ‘nude’ – just describe one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos,…) that isn’t known to the public. She won’t be able to do it because it never happened,” Musk tweeted Friday in response to a Twitter user asking what the allegations were.

A former flight attendant who works as a contract cabin crew member on SpaceX’s fleet of corporate jets accused Musk of exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and offering to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage. Insider reported last week.
The incident allegedly happened in 2016. The woman reported the incident to the company’s human resources department, and Musk, SpaceX and the companion eventually reached a $250,000 termination agreement in 2018, Insider reported.

Musk, who is also Tesla’s CEO, denied the allegations of sexual misconduct to the outlet, calling the story a “politically motivated hit.”
“If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this probably isn’t the first time in my entire 30-year career that this has come to light,” he wrote.

He also took to Twitter and said the claims should be taken as political. Musk had said earlier last week that he would vote Republican in future elections after overwhelmingly voting Democrat in previous elections.
“The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – that’s your usual (despicable) playbook – but nothing will stop me from fighting for a bright future and your right to freedom of expression,” he said The SpaceX CEO wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
A friend of the companion described the incident in a signed statement. Twitter users questioned why the friend would come forward years later, to which Musk replied that the friend is “a far left activist/actress in LA with a big political axe.”

“Absolutely,” Musk replied.
