Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, has lashed out at the media again after Wall Street Journal reported news of his affair with Nicole Shanahan, wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. ,Musk said, The media is a click-seeking machine dressed up as a truth-seeking machine. ,Earlier, while denying the affair, he'd called out WSJ saying they often did hit pieces without any truth, and the world's richest man also noted that there was nothing romantic between him and Shanahan. At the time, Musk had said haven't even had sex in ages. ,Just a couple of days before, the world's richest man commented that the amount of attention on him had gone supernova, before saying he'd keep his head down and be focused on doing useful things for civilization. ,The 51-year-old lamented at the time that even trivial articles about him led to a lot of clicks. True to his promise to think about civilization and its future, Musk also put out a series of tweets, seeking a new philosophy for the future. ,Also Read | Eutelsat and OneWeb to merge, want to rival SpaceX in satellite internet,He said, A new philosophy of the future is needed. I believe it should be curious about the Universe – expand humanity to become a multiplanet, then interstellar, species to see what’s out there. ,Musk added, This is compatible with existing religions – surely God would want us to see Creation? ,The innovator has remained a polarizing figure, dominating the news waves with his tweets on politics, population, and cryptocurrency. ,Also Read | Billionaires busting marriages: Gates, Bezos, Musk and Brin,Musk has recently also been in the spotlight over the Twitter purchase. He'd made a $44 billion offer, initially, but then backed out of the deal over a disagreement on disclosing the number of bots on the platform.

Elon Musk lashes out at media again amid Nicole Shanahan affair scandal

Twitter

Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, was recently mired in a scandal when Washington Post reported that the world's richest man had had an affair with Nicole Shanahan, wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. After denying the reports, Musk also tweeted that the amount of attention on the entrepreneur has gone supernova. ,Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me generate a lot of clicks, the 51-year-old added, saying he'd henceforth attempt to focus on doing useful things for civilization. ,Musk, the entrepreneur, has varied futuristic interests like Neuralink, which works on implantable brain-machine interfaces, and plans for colonies on Mars. However, he is also in the spotlight for his many tweets which become the news, including those on cryptocurrency that has often played havoc with the valuations. ,Also Read | Musk says 'haven't even had sex in ages' amid affair scandal,Recently, the South African has also been in the news after backing out of the Twitter deal. The social media company is now suing him after Musk offered to buy it out for $44 billion and then reneged over the number of bots on the platform. ,From his statements on population collapse to opinions on how the current political clime silences certain opinions, Musk has remained a polarizing figure and one very much at the centre of things. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Musk helped the eastern European country by setting up Starlink satellites and then went on to challenge Russian President Vladimir Putin to a fight. ,Also Read | Wall Street worried after bad news from Walmart,His Tesla factory in China has been labelled a sweatshop, and despite calling himself a free speech absolutionist, Musk has been known to make his employees sign non-disclosure agreements, preventing them from speaking against the company even if they quit. The businessman's views on working hours have also raised questions, as has his stance on LGBTQ issues. ,However, it can't be denied that Musk has also gone out of his way to help people in the world, like giving those in Tonga immediate internet access after an earthquake destroyed connectivity. ,While ventures like SpaceX allow Musk to actually focus on the final frontier and attempt to help the civilization, his proclivity for tweeting, unique lifestyle choices and the edgelord sense of humour are likely to keep the billionaire in the spotlight despite his best efforts.

However, not only did Musk deny the rumors, but also replied to a tweet that he was at a party with Brin quite recently, and that the two continue to be pals:,The Tesla CEO has not only denied this alleged affair on Twitter, but has also stated that he has not been sexually active for quite some time:,Musk, the richest man in the world, has been involved in numerous affairs in the past.

The last three yeas have been billionaire divorce season, as we’ve watched Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and most recently, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google split from their spouses over a variety of reasons. ,Here’s a look at when these billionaire couples split and why their marriages ended?,Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott,When Jeff Bezos and his ex-wife MacKeenzie Scott split, the internet was rife with rumours over why the duo, who had been married for 25 years, had suddenly decided to call it quits. When they made the announcement, both were suspiciously insistent on the fact that the two had decided to remain friends. So much so that back in 2019, the National Inquirer had decided that people deserved to know the truth of why the Bezos’ marriage ended. ,According to the length article from the gossip tabloid, Jeff Bezos had been engaged in a months-long affair with Lauren Sanchez, the wife of a powerful Hollywood Agent. In turn, Bezos replied to the article with his own blog post on Medium alleging that the gossip newspaper had attempted to extort him using nude selfies. For months afterwards, newspapers latched on to the story with many covering the surreptitious methods that the National Enquirer used to get the information. Bill Gates and Melinda French,After being married for 27 years and raising three children, Bill Gates and Melinda French decided to go their separate ways. In an announcement made in May last year, the duo had initially been reluctant to talk about their divorce. To those too young to remember, Bill Gates bought out all the rooms in the hotel him and his 130 guests were staying at in Lanai, Hawai. But that’s not all, he bought out all the helicopters on the island to prevent photographers from photographing the wedding. ,Shortly before the divorce was finalised in 2021, the Wall Street Journal made headlines for reporting a story that Gates was asked to step down from the Microsoft board for a years long affair with a Microsoft engineer. However, a representative of Gates said that the decision to step down had nothing to do with the affair. Elon Musk, Sergey Brin and Nicole Shanahan,The founder of SpaceX and Tesla is notorious for making headlines on a regular basis. This time around, he’s been accused of courting the co-founder of Google’s wife, Nicole Shanahan. The billionaire who’s been fighting fires at Tesla and the Twitter buyout has had his personal life laid out for everyone to see. Recently he was accused of exposing himself to a SpaceX flight attendant. Last year, he had twins with a female executive at one of his other companies. ,Also Read: Elon Musk-Nicole Shanahan affair: How Tesla CEO responded to reports,Brin and Shanahan divorced earlier this year, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The Wall Street Journal reported that the divorce came several weeks after Brin learnt of the affair. Musk on the other hand has denied that he and the co-founder of Google had a falling out, tweeting on July 25, 2022, “This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!” However, in recent months, Brin has had his financial advisers to pull out of investments that the world’s seventh most rich person had made in Musk’s companies, according to the Wall Street Journal report.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk had a brief affair with Sergey Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan in 2021, which also allegedly led the Google co-founder to file for divorce earlier this year. Following his breakup with artist Grimes in September of last year, the 51-year-old Tesla CEO has recently made news for his new romance with Elvis actress Natasha Bassett. This is not the first time that any of Musk’s relationships have made headlines. Also read: Elon Musk had an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan: Report,Following is a complete list of all Elon Musk's relationships - including wives, girlfriends, and alleged affairs that we know of. Justine Musk,Elon and Justine (née Wilson) met at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, in the late 1990s. According to an article she published for Marie Claire in 2009, he invited her out for ice cream, but after she said yes, she changed her mind and left a letter on his dorm room door stating that she couldn't come. However, later that night, Elon showed up at her door with two chocolate-chip ice cream cones dripping down his hands, adding, He's not a man who takes no for an answer. Also read: Nicole Shanahan age, net worth, husband, children and more,After a two-year on-again, off-again relationship, the couple married in 2000 and went on to raise five sons together: one set of twins and one set of triplets. The pair eventually divorced in 2008. Talulah Riley,The Tesla boss first met Westworld star Talulah Riley in a London bar in 2008, and the two hit it off right away. The couple's romance progressed fast, and they married two years after meeting in 2010. However, the couple split two years later in 2012, and Musk tweeted, It was an amazing four years. I will love you forever. You will make someone very happy one day. However, the couple's divorce was short-lived, as they remarried in July 2013 before divorcing permanently in 2016. Also read: Who is Sergey Brin?,Amber Heard,While it's unclear when these two first met, it's widely assumed that they were together for around a year from 2016 to 2017, following his breakup from Riley and hers from Johnny Depp. Amber Heard and Musk apparently met on the set of Machete Kills in 2013 and struck up a friendship before becoming romantic three years later. Elon explained in an Instagram remark, Btw, just to clear up some of the press storms this weekend, although Amber and I did break up, we are still friends, remain close and love one another. Grimes (Claire Boucher),The pair met after he slid into her DMs after she made a joke about artificial intelligence. While the rumours were still circulating, the couple made their red carpet couple debut at the Met Gala a few weeks later. Also read: Who Is Nicole Shanahan?,The couple was said to have broken up in March 2020 after he unfollowed her on Instagram for a few days. They proved everyone wrong, however, when they revealed in May of that year that they had welcomed their first child together. As many may recall, the whole event made quite a stir because no one could really pronounce their baby's name, X Æ A-12. Ultimately, they had to modify it to X AE A-XII to conform with Californian law. Despite the fact that they divorced in September 2021, they had their second child together in December of that year. The daughter, dubbed Y, was born via surrogate, allowing them to conceal the pregnancy until March 2022. Natasha Bassett,Bassett, who one may recognise from Austin Butler's upcoming Elvis film, has been connected to Musk since she was seen leaving his private flight and driving away in a chauffeured Tesla earlier this year. Also read: Twitter reports quarterly loss in revenue, blames Elon Musk,According to a HollywoodLife source, the couple has been dating for several months and are in a monogamous relationship right now. While that may appear to be an unusual pairing, another source claims that they've been dating on and off for years. Elon and Natasha have been in an on-again, off-again relationship for a few years, the insider told The Daily Telegraph. I think their relationship is quite tumultuous, especially with him having the same sort of on-again, off-again type of relationship with Grimes. Shivon Zilis,Shivon Zilis attended Yale University and worked as a Project Director at Tesla. Elon Musk launched the startup Neuralink in 2016, where Zilis currently works. While in college in her native Canada, she was a member of the women's ice hockey team in the province of Ontario. She has also interned at the Creative Destruction Lab. Zilis was also named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 and Linked In's 35 Under 35 lists. Also read: Elon Musk's Tesla gets 'exclusive' Mexico-US border crossing lane,On July 6, 2022, a publication reported that Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis had twins in November 2021. According to a court document obtained by the press, the twins were given their mother's last name 'Zilis' as their middle name and their father's name as their last name. In May 2022, the judge in Astin, Texas, signed off on the petition. According to reports, Elon Musk fathered the twins just a few weeks before fathering another child with Claire Boucher, known as Grimes. Nicole Shanahan,According to the WSJ, Musk and Shanahan's ex-husband, Sergey Brin, were formerly good friends, but their bond was shattered by the affair. Brin and his wife, Nicole Shanahan, were separated but still living together at the time of the affair in December, according to a person close to her. Brin, who married Shanahan in 2018, filed for divorce in January, alleging irreconcilable differences, the Journal reported. According to the Journal, Musk apologised to Brin earlier this year at a party and asked for forgiveness for the affair. According to sources familiar with the matter, Brin accepted the apology but is no longer on good terms with Musk.

Sergey Brin, born August 21, 1973, in Moscow, Russia, is an American computer scientist and entrepreneur who co-founded Google, one of the most popular websites on the Internet, with Larry Page. Brin's family immigrated to the United States from Moscow in 1979. After graduating from the University of Maryland with degrees in computer science and mathematics in 1993, he enrolled in Stanford University's graduate programme, where he met Page, a fellow graduate student. The idea of improving the ability to extract meaning from the massive amount of data accumulating on the Internet piqued their interest. Also read: Elon Musk had an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan: Report,They began developing a new form of search technology from Page's dorm room, leveraging Web users' own ranking abilities by tracking each site's backing links—that is, the number of other pages connected to them. Brin got his master's degree in 1995, but he took a leave of absence from Stanford's doctoral programme to work on the search engine. Brin and Page began collecting outside funding in mid-1998, eventually raising $1 million from investors and relatives and friends. They named their modified search engine Google—a typo of the original planned title, 'googol' (a mathematical word for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros)—and founded Google Inc. Brin was appointed president of technology at Google, and by mid-1999, when the search engine got $25 million in venture capital funding, it was processing 500,000 inquiries per day. Also read: Nicole Shanahan age, net worth, husband, children and more,In 2001, Page was succeeded as CEO of Google by technology executive Eric Schmidt. Google, on the other hand, was effectively led by the three of Brin, Page, and Schmidt. By 2004, people were visiting the site 200 million times per day (roughly 138,000 queries per minute). Brin received more than $3.8 billion in the first public offering (IPO) of Google Inc. on August 19, 2004. Google paid $1.65 billion in equity to acquire YouTube, the Web's most popular site for user-submitted streaming videos, in 2006. The decision reflected the company's efforts to broaden its offerings beyond Internet searches. That same year, Google was rebuked for choosing to comply with the Chinese government's censorship rules, such as censoring websites advocating democracy or covering the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Brin supported the choice, claiming that Google's capacity to provide some, albeit limited, information was preferable than providing none.
