He claims it isn’t true, but they did a $250k settlement with her. Hmmm.
- Wait... How much does a horse cost?
  
  You can get one for free if you want. Theres still wild horse populations.
  
  But if you want, you can spend hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions on a horse. You could also probably get one for a few hundred but that one is already on its way to a glue factory.
  
  Ah, she opted for the cash equivalent.
  
  Owning a horse is more expensive monthly than having a drug addiction tbh.
- Settlements are always necessarily dispositive of the truth. Sometimes it makes sense to just pay a settlement fee than to go through litigation if you expect your attorney fees to be greater than the settlement cost. Also it's not uncommon for settlements agreements to not confirm allegations so as to not benefit future cases against the defendant.
  
  “My commitment: We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win,” he wrote. “We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”
  
  Either he's full of shit, he did after a horse for sex or both.
  
  On one hand it might be cost effective but on the other its not like cost is an issue for someone with like ten zeoes in his account balance. Maybe he thought getting it out of the news cycle was more important then how it would look becoming a thing... too bad lol
  
  “I’ll even give you free undercoating on your new horse if you let me do butt stuff too.”
- Probably rationalized it as being cheaper than legal fees + additional damage to his reputation from a public trial.
  
  Or it happened and he'd have lost.
I'm not sure what's more ridiculous, offering her heroin for sex, or giving her the financial liability of taking care of an equine in exchange for 10-20 minutes of disappointment.
- He was offering to play a game of 1-on-1 basketball with special rules in her driveway.
  
  Reminds me of that job that offered the winner at work a Toyota, and gave her a Toy Yoda. She sued and won.
Yeah, I remember when this was first reported in 2022.
- I was thinking the same thing. My second thought was "AGAIN??"
  
  At this point I just imagine Elon starting every conversation with a woman as "do you like horses? Because I have an offer for you"
  
  Sometimes when a good flirt line works, you try it again.
  
  So maybe there's a woman who sold her body for a horse. And this gal got $250k.
Aren’t horses expensive as fuck to keep?
- He is a car salesman after all. The horse is free but if she wants the stable and upkeep payments to be covered, she'll have to go for a longer deal
  
  “I’ll even give you free undercoating on your new horse if you let me do butt stuff too.”
- And that's before you spring for shoes, armor, lance, all that shit.
  
  Spring shoes sound less useful on a horse.
- Horse people don't care
  
  Horse people is not the preferred nomenclature. Centaur, please.
- Oh yeah. Especially if you work as a flight attendant, so you'll have to play someone else to care for it when you're away.
- How much could a banana cost?!?
- And to get, apparently.
No, see, the real mistake he made was being a cheapskate because she definitely had a price, and he thought it was too much. The richest man on earth wanted some ez pz ass and was too cheap to get it.

So she gets a $250k settlement and he looks like a pervert. Real smart man there.

The morale, to me, is that you don't fucking sexually harass your employees, and if you do, you better fucking be ready to pay the consequences.
- Moral*
  
  maybe it's what pumps him up
All the best men have to pay for sex
- He’s just looking for a stable relationship.
  
  This isn't even a horse joke- he wants brood mares. That's why he has 11 children. He's 100% in on the whole "Great Replacement" lie.

This was news like 2 years ago
- i think it is older than that now isn't it? I happened in 2016, i thought it came to the news in like 2019 or 2020... then again, life is like a blur to me, so...
How the fuck did he get a horse on the flight in the first place?
- It's a big plane I assume. You have to see the horse I got my wife. I didn't have real horse money. But this one changes colors in warm water or cold water. It's awesome 😎.
  
  Shall we assume the color-changing water horse was exchanged for sex?
“No no, it’s all a big misunderstanding! I offered her the horse to have sex with! Who would exchange a horse for a woman? Do you know how expensive horses are?” - musk, probably
I'm going to be so happy to see his death caused by a likely drug overdose. Not because I take joy in his death, but we'll finally be rid of having to hear about his stupidity and drama every day.
- Not because I take joy in his death
  
  Uh, yeah me neither...
He had a bunch of horses that came with some land he bought he was trying to get rid of - jeeze
A ride for a ride.
We've already established that. Now we're just haggling about the price.
Imagine being so rich out-of-touch that you think offering someone something that will cost them a shitload of money to keep in exchange for sex will work with non-rich people.
Pocket change.

as of June 2024, Forbes estimates his net worth to be US$210 billion.

Link.

Highest median house price by state in the US is $787,000. That's the highest in the nicest place. Link.

A total of.....

Brace yourself......

Approximately one 250,000th of his wealth. (actual is higher)

Edit: I apologise in advance for any maths fuck ups. It's Friday evening where I am. You're hearin' me.

Edit 2: Read on for some shenanigans
- But the post says "horse" not "house". You know, like the neigh-type of thing.
  
  🐴🤦‍♂️
  
  I will leave my post as an acknowledgment of my wine based mistakes.
  
  On the other hand though... It just makes things worse by, like, several orders of magnitude.
  
  Edit; What's worse is that I read the whole horse article before, set in my mind what a cunt he was for offering something he had an excess of (other than money, obviously), then promptly got outraged that he only offered a house.
  
  Kids, alcohol is a powerful drug.
  
  Are you talking about neigh-bors? Because houses have those!
- I love it. Don't ever stop this.
  
  ❤️
Like ... what did that horse do to Elon ?
- Ever hear of Mr. Hands?
#Pony4PPGate
- Lol nice
this's why it's a nightmare to be married to a douchbag like him
Elon should have known....

Horse girls, horse girls

They live in a different world

this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0owILEBvb0 by Tacocat always cracks me up
- I couldn’t make out a single word.
  
  They're a punk band so that's kinda the point but when you have heard it a few times it's more clear
  
  It's a funny and smart song. Here's the lyrics
  
  They know the different breeds Of all their favorite steeds Breyers on their desks Long hair and long necks
  
  Horse girls, horse girls They live in a different world They know the different breeds Of all their favorite steeds Breyers on their desks Long hair and long necks
  
  No time for girls or boys Horses their only joy Work stables for the rides Makes them feel so alive
