Saturday 21 May 2022 04:46 AM Elon Musk tweets that he'll give ex-YouTube CEO a horse if he touches his wiener trends now
Elon Musk has quickly made light of the sexual misconduct allegations leveled against him this, joking that the affair should be dubbed 'Elongate' and soliciting the co-founder of YouTube to touch his 'wiener'.
Musk has denied the claims in a Business Insider article, which alleged that he exposed himself to a private flight attendant during a massage, rubbed her leg, and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage.
Chad Hurley, who co-founded YouTube and once served as the company's CEO, joked about the claims in a tweet directed at Musk, telling him: 'Stop horsing around and close this Twitter deal. We all want a happy ending!'
Musk, who knows Hurley well from their time working together in the early days of PayPal, responded in kind, writing: 'Fine, if you touch my wiener, you can have a horse.'
It came on a day of whirlwind tweeting from Musk, who called a 2016 tweet from Hillary Clinton a hoax, questioned the integrity of Business Insider, and announced plans for a new 'hardcore litigation department' at Tesla.

He also made light of the misconduct accusation by quoting a tweet of his own from 2021 in which he said if there was ever a scandal about him, it should be called 'Elongate.'
'Finally, we get to use Elongate as scandal name. It's kinda perfect,' he tweeted
Musk, who was in Brazil on Friday to meet with President Jair Bolsonaro, has offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion, but said the deal can't go forward until the company provides information about how many accounts on the platform are spam or bots.
Several hours before the Business Insider report was published on Thursday, Musk tweeted that he had previously voted for Democrats but would now vote for Republicans and suggested that the left would launch a 'dirty tricks campaign' against him.
He stepped up his political remarks on Friday in a series of tweets, calling an old tweet of Hillary Cinton's a 'hoax' after a Twitter user flagged it as misleading.
The 2016 Clinton tweet, referencing claims that were later included in the Steele dossier, read: 'Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.'
