Elon Musk took to Twitter on Sunday night to deny claims that he had an affair with wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
Musk, 51, confirmed that he and Brin are still friends, and revealed they were at a party together on Saturday night.
He also said that he’s only seen Nicole Shanahan, wife of Brin, on two occassions and with many other people present.
“This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night,” Musk wrote. “I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic.”
The article was originally published by Wall Street Journal, a news outlet that Musk claims is out to get him with an onslaught of hit pieces over the past year.
This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!
I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic.

Musk vs. Twitter
In the WSJ report, Musk had allegedly had an affair with Shanahan around the time she and Brin were preparing to divorce.
Another report claimed Musk had kneeled down and begged Brin to forgive him.
Musk is currently embroiled in a legal battle over his abandoned plan to buy Twitter for $44 billion.
The social media platform sued the world’s richest man earlier this month and trial is set to begin in October.
