Elon Musk has denied the affair with the wife of the co-founder of Google

The Wall Street Journal writes about it.

On Sunday, July 24, it was reported that in the fall of 2021, Elon Musk had a short affair with the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The publication writes that Musk and Nicole Shanahan were lovers in December, but how long their romance lasted is unknown. This may have been the reason Brin filed for divorce in 2022.

We want to emphasize that Musk and Brin were old friends. Musk often visited Brin at home. The Google co-founder also gave Musk about $500,000 for Tesla in 2008.

In recent months, tensions have escalated between longtime friends. Sources of The Wall Street Journal claim that in 2022, Musk at one of the parties asked for forgiveness from Brin, standing on one knee. He allegedly accepted the apology, but still rarely communicates with the entrepreneur.

This is complete nonsense. Sergey and I are friends and last night we were together at a party! I only saw Nicole twice in three years, both times in the company of many other people. Nothing romantic,” Musk tweeted.

At the same time, Brin's lawyer does not give any comments.
