Global News
Elon Musk denied the affair on Twitter in a series of posts, claiming there is 'nothing romantic' between him and Nicole Shanahan.
Elon Musk took to Twitter to deny reports that he had a “brief affair” with Google co-founder Sergey Brin‘s former wife, Nicole Shanahan.
An article released by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday claimed Musk and Shanahan had an affair last fall, ultimately leading to their separation. This supposed relationship allegedly caused tensions between the Tesla CEO and Google co-founder.
The publication cited sources “familiar with the matter” in the report. Musk, Brin and Shanahan were not quoted.
The outlet also claimed that Brin sold his personal investments in Musk’s companies in December 2021.
After the article was published on Sunday, Musk, 51, responded to a tweet linking to the story with the caption, “Elon Musk’s allegedly banged Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife leading to the couple’s divorce filing. The two are apparently no longer friends.”
Musk called the story “total bs.”
“Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!” he continued.
