Elon Musk denied having an affair with the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, which the Wall Street Journal reported earlier Sunday has created a widening rift between the tech moguls, two of the richest people in the world. Musk tweeted late on Sunday that the report was untrue, that he had just seen Brin at a party, and that he had “nothing romantic” with Shanahan. The Journal said the alleged affair took place in December and prompted Brin to file for divorce in early January. According to the Journal, Brin told his financial advisers to sell off all of his investments in Elon Musk companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 25, 2022Brin, a board member of Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, previously invested $500,000 into Tesla in 2008.
