Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has denied rumors that his alleged relationship with Google co- founder Sergey Brin ‘s wife led to the couple’s divorce, calling it “a real tall tale.” Chinese”.
What you should know
Musk had a brief affair with Sergey Brin ‘s wife , Nicole Shanahan , in December, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. That reportedly led Brin to ask his wife for a divorce earlier this year and ended a long friendship between him and Musk.
“It’s a real tall tale. Sergey and I are friends and we were at a party together last night!” He tweeted Musk on Sunday night, in response to an account that he tagged him with the article.
“I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with a lot of other people around. Nothing romantic.”
When a Twitter user asked Musk to “keep his dick in his pants,” the billionaire businessman replied, “I haven’t had sex in years (sigh).” Musk went on to say that the Journal has published several “shocking articles” against him, citing an example of how the newspaper erred in publishing an article claiming that the Federal Bureau of Investigation wanted to arrest him.
“It’s nothing but FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) from short sellers,” Musk tweeted.
He added that since he works too many hours, he doesn’t have time for such “mischief.”
Because it is important
Musk’s personal life has been in the spotlight recently. He has been said to have secretly fathered children with a Neuralink executive , and has also been accused of sexual misconduct at SpaceX (which he himself has denied ). In May, the world’s richest man said political attacks on him would “intensify dramatically in the coming months” following his bid to buy Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) for $44 billion.
