Elon Musk Denies Claims He Had An Affair With Google Co-Founder's Wife

Elon Musk has hit back against claims he had an affair with the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

The news outlet also claimed the affair caused a rift between Musk and Brin that was so bad that Elon reportedly dropped to one knee and begged for forgiveness.

While Brin allegedly granted the forgiveness, they haven't been on speaking terms.

However, Elon has hit back at all these claims and more in a post on Twitter.

He wrote: "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."

This 'brief' interaction occurred after Musk had split with the mother of two of his children, Grimes.

Brin and Shanahan filed for divorce at the start of the year and cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the uncoupling.

The WSJ sources said the petition for divorce was organised a few weeks after the Google co-founder was told of the affair.

“I hope for Sergey and I to move forward with dignity, honesty and harmony for the sake of our child," she said in a statement. "And we are both working towards that.”

The outlet added that the relationship between the two billionaires has been frosty of late.

However, if we're meant to go off Elon's statements on social media, it seems like everything is rosy.

He added in a separate tweet: "The character assassination attacks have reached a new level this year, but the articles are all nothing-burgers.

"I work crazy hours, so there just isn’t much time for shenanigans.

"None of the key people involved in these alleged wrongdoings were even interviewed!"

He posted a tweet earlier this year suggesting people were going to start attacking his character.

Musk warned: "Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months."
