Once again, Elon Musk is making headlines and this time it’s about an alleged affair with a dear friend’s wife.
Over the weekend, it was reported that Musk had an alleged affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s estranged wife wife, Nicole Shanahan.
Elon Musk is denying the allegations and says he works “crazy hours, so there isn’t much time for shenanigans.”
He responded to a tweet about the alleged affair on Twitter on Sunday.
Yeah, 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!

The Wall Street Journal reported about the alleged affair, saying that while Shanahan and Brin were on a break, Musk started seeing her in December 2021 while the estranged couple was still living together.
To further squash rumors, Musk said that he and Brin are still good friends and had attended a party together from the night before.
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.

However, The Journal reports that Brin filed for divorce from Shanahan, citing irreconcilable differences following the discovery of an affair.
Musk has had a rocky year dealing with the spotlight. Between his ongoing legal battle with Twitter, his alleged affairs– one being with Johnny Depp’s ex, Amber Heard, and the hunt to discover how many children he has, there’s no telling what’s next in store for the billionaire.
