He then clarified that it was him with Sergey yesterday afternoon. The Tesla CEO then went on to criticize the media for always dragging him into every story for clicks.
The SpaceX founder responded to a question on the news pieces being politically motivated: “Mostly just that the media is a click maximizing machine and a story involving me gets a lot of clicks.”

While denying any allegations of an affair, the 51-year-old business tycoon said, “Haven’t even had sex in ages (sigh).”
Elon then went on to tweet, “The amount of attention on me has gone supernova, which super sucks. Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me generate a lot of clicks 🙁 Will try my best to be head down focused on doing useful things for civilization.”

What Is the Drama Involving Musk, Sergey Brin, And His Wife?
According to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, Musk had an affair with Nicole Shanahan. The report said that Elon and Brin were close friends until the affair.
The Google co-founder had filed for divorce in January citing “irreconcilable differences,” and claimed he and Shanahan had been separated since December 15, 2021.
The report said, “The liaison with Mr. Musk took place in early December 2021, at the Art Basel event in Miami…Art Basel is a multiday, annual festival that draws wealthy attendees from around the world. At a party…Mr. Musk dropped to one knee in front of Mr. Brin and apologized profusely for the transgression, begging for forgiveness, according to people with knowledge of the incident.”
Both Elon and Brin were long-time friends; Brin was one of the first to receive a Tesla car when production got off the ground. Brin also gave Musk $500,000 in 2008 during the global recession.
