The comments made by Mr. Musk came after it was reported in the Wall Street Journal that his friendship with Mr. Brin had come to an end as a result of the alleged affair.
Mr. Musk replied to the claim as “total bs” in response to a link to the tweet that was posted on Twitter by another user. Mr. Musk continued by saying that he and Mr. Brin are still good friends and that the two of them were “at a party together last night!”
The Wall Street Journal reported, citing individuals with knowledge of the situation, that Ms. Shanahan and Mr. Musk were involved in a brief affair toward the end of the previous year.
According to the publication, this led to Mr. Brin filing for divorce early this year, putting an end to the long friendship that had existed between the two high-profile technology millionaires.
Nevertheless, Mr. Musk wrote, “I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic”.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which cited a source close to Ms. Shanahan, the couple is “separated but still living together.”
Mr. Musk wrote the following in a subsequent tweet: “WSJ [Wall Street Journal] has written so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count.”
