Washington: Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday denied having an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan.
His comments came after The Wall Street Journal reported an end of Musk's friendship with Brin over an alleged affair.
Reporting to a link of the story posted on Twitter, Musk said, "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."
The Wall Street Journal quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Elon Musk engaged in a brief affair last fall with the wife of Sergey Brin, prompting the Google co-founder to file for divorce earlier this year and ending the tech billionaires’ long friendship.
In a separate tweet, Musk said: "WSJ has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I've lost count." (UNI)
