Last summer, the Wall Street Journal, citing sources, reported that Elon Musk had an affair with the wife of Sergei Brin, the co-founder of Google. Allegedly, the affair prompted the American programmer to file for divorce and end his long-standing friendship with the Tesla founder. At the time, Musk denied the rumors. And what does Nicole Shanahan herself have to say?
In a new interview, she stated that she did communicate with Ilon Musk. However, according to her, there is nothing serious between them, only friendship. “Did Ilon and I have sex? No. Have we had a romantic relationship? No. We didn’t have an affair,” Nicole said. She added that she approached Musk to discuss with him the treatment of her daughter Echo, who has been diagnosed with autism.
Note that in early 2022, Sergey Brin announced that he and his wife were divorcing because of “insurmountable differences”. At the same time, he and his ex-wife settled the issue of custody of Echo, who was born in 2018.
