‘Baseless’: Elon Musk on affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife

Tesla CEO Elon Musk denied having an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife Nicole Shanahan amid media reports claiming that they both had a ‘brief affair’ in December last year.

Taking to Twitter, the SpaceX owner said that the report was completely ‘baseless’ and that he and Brin were friends. “This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night! I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic,” Musk tweeted.

A report by Wall Street Journal said that Musk and Shanahan had a brief affair in Miami following which Brin filed for divorce in January. The affair also ended the friendship between Musk and Brin.
