Union blasts Musk after misconduct allegation: 'Flight attendants are not just another accessory'
NBC vis MSN ^ | May 20 2022 | NBC

Posted on 05/21/2022 8:31:21 AM PDT by SmokingJoe

The head of the flight attendants union harshly criticized Elon Musk Friday following a report that the richest man in the world paid $250,000 to a SpaceX hostess who accused him of sexual misconduct.

The allegations and purported severance package were first reported Thursday by Insider.

Sara Nelson, president of the 50,000-member Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, weighed in after Musk took to Twitter, the social media platform he is trying to buy for $44 billion, to angrily dismiss the accusations from 2016 as "utterly untrue."

"Flight attendants are not just another accessory on Musk’s little rocket," Nelson said.

“Musk believes that money gives him the right to do anything that he pleases, regardless of the rights, humanity or protestations of others,” Nelson added.

Nelson said "Musk’s alleged actions in the cabin are a stark reminder of why Flight Attendants first organized 76 years ago."

ELON MUSK TWITTER THREAD:
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1527748229470646272

Tesla is building a hardcore litigation department where we directly initiate & execute lawsuits. The team will report directly to me.

Please send 3 to 5 bullet points describing evidence of exceptional ability.

My commitment:

- We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

- We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.

Please include links to cases you have tried

Looking for hardcore streetfighters, not white-shoe lawyers like Perkins or Cooley who thrive on corruption.

There will be blood.

There's a lawsuit waiting to happen. And Musk will win it hands down. All of a sudden, some.... appears out of the blue and goes after the richest man in the world. Who would have thunk.

Did she get paid off or not...sometimes just the best way to get rid of these "gimme a payoff" and I'll shut up folks.

We are witnessing just how much the system is rigged to go after anyone who does not comply with the will of the high priests. This is to discourage others from defying them.

Not working.
Musk is not bothered by a fake “mauling” from a demented old fool and his pals.
Musk is currently hiring some of the most bad ass lawyers in America. In addition to what he has already.

$250K?

Must not have been much of a lawsuit. Probably considered a nuisance lawsuit by Musk legal.

There is no downside for the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, in the person of its head, Sara Nelson, to make this statement. While in football this would be whistled as a pile-on, given that labor unions are almost uniformly LEFT-leaning, this is a ‘virtue statement’ to aid the cause!

In Musk’s defense, the flight attendants in Iron Man had a stripper poll. He suffers from Aspergers and takes everything literally.

You think some two bit Union is going to stop Musk?
Musk has been trashing unions for as long as I can remember.
No unions at Tesla or SpaceX. And they get better pay too.

And that’s how it’s done. An operative releases a lie, and sympathizers immediately adopt it as truth.

We still don't know who the alleged “sexual assault victim” was.
It's just made up stuff from “a friend” of the alleged “victim” so far.
And Musk has issued them a challenge. Which they have failed to answer so far.

“Seems like this is planned by the DNC...”

It is. Especially when Musk said he was going to vote Republican this time around. That was the last straw. He is now going to get the President Trump treatment.
