If you have friends like that, you don’t need enemies…
According to media reports, Tesla boss Elon Musk had an affair with the wife of Sergey Brin – Google co-founder and Musk’s longtime friend. It’s about Brin’s longtime partner Nicole Shanahan.
According to the “Wall Street Journal” the infidelity probably took place at the end of last year, more precisely: at the beginning of December. Musk and Shanahan were together at the Art Basel art fair in Miami, which took place from December 2nd to 4th.
In January, Brin then filed for divorce – due to “irreconcilable differences”, according to court documents. Brin found out about the affair a few weeks earlier, as the US newspaper reports. The documents also state the time the couple separated: December 15th.
At the time of the alleged liaison, Brin and his wife were separated but still together, according to a source close to Shanahan. The two were married for almost four years and have a daughter (3) together.
