Elon Musk denies affair with Google co-founder’s wife

Tesla and Space X owner Elon Musk has denied having an affair with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

Mr Musk’s denial comments came after the Wall Street Journal announced that his friendship with the Google co-founder had ended over the alleged affair.

Mr Musk replied to the story’s link and referred to it as “total bs” on Twitter.

He added that he still has a cordial relationship with Mr Brin and they were “at a party together last night!”

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.

At the time of the alleged affair in December, Mr Brin and his wife were separated but still living together, the Wall Street Journal said, citing a person close to Ms Shanahan.

In a separate tweet, Mr Musk said “WSJ [Wall Street Journal] has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count.”

WSJ has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count! It’s embarrassing for them, frankly.

They once wrote an article saying FBI was about to arrest me, so I called FBI to ask what’s up and they said WSJ article was total bs.

Just more shortseller fud.

Even though they have a prenuptial agreement, Mr Brin and Ms Shanahan are currently negotiating a divorce settlement, which could be as much as $1bn (£830m), Wall Street Journal reported.
