Washington,
July
25:
Tesla
CEO
Elon
Musk
on
Monday
denied
the
rumours
which
claimed
that
he
was
having
an
affair
with
Brin’s
wife
Nicole
Shanahan.

He
took
Twitter
to
clarify
the
reports.
Musk
wrote,
“This
is
total
bs.
Sergey
and
I
are
friends
and
were
at
a
party
together
last
night![sic]”
Musk
stated
that
he
had
met
his
wife
only
twice
in
the
last
three
years.
He
added,
“I’ve
only
seen
Nicole
twice
in
three
years,
both
times
with
many
other
people
around.
Nothing
romantic.”

As
per
People,
Musk
allegedly
had
an
extramarital
affair
with
Nicole
Shanahan,
the
wife
of
billionaire
Google
co-founder
Sergey
Brin.
They
were
close
friends
until
the
affair,
the
publication
reported,
citing
a
report
in
the
Wall
Street
Journal.

Twitter,
Elon
Musk
head
to
October
trial
over
USD
44
billion
deal

The
relationship
between
the
two
moguls
started
turning
sour
after
Brin
learned
his
wife
had
an
affair
with
fellow
tech
billionaire
none
other
than
Musk.

Brin
filed
for
divorce
in
January
citing
“irreconcilable
differences,”
and
stated
that
he
and
Shanahan
had
been
separated
since
December
15,
2021.

Additionally,
Brin
asked
for
joint
custody
of
their
daughter.
He
also
said
that
he
is
not
seeking
spousal
support
from
Shanahan
and
requested
she
not
be
awarded
it
either.
Musk
reportedly
apologized
to
Brin
at
a
party
earlier
this
year.
Brin
was
reportedly
among
the
first
people
to
be
given
a
Tesla
vehicle
when
production
got
off
the
ground,
and
Brin
reportedly
gave
Musk
USD
500,000
in
2008
to
keep
Tesla
afloat
during
the
financial
crisis,
ANI
reported.

What
led
to
the
breach
of
merger
agreement
in
the
Twitter
vs
Musk
battle

The
alleged
affair
came
several
months
after
Musk
had
broken
up
with
his
girlfriend,
singer
Grimes,
with
whom
he
shares
two
children.
Not
only
this,
a
few
weeks
ago,
several
reports
surfaced
online
that
stated
Musk
had
secretly
fathered
twins
in
November
2021
with
Shivon
Zilis,
an
executive
at
Musk’s
company
Neuralink.
Meanwhile,
Musk
is
currently
locked
in
a
legal
battle
with
Twitter
after
he
dropped
a
bid
to
purchase
the
social
media
company.
