Last year, Elon Musk had an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife, which led to the Brins’ divorce and Musk’s isolation from Brin, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on July 24.

Musk has been reportedly involved in multiple scandals in recent months.

Musk and Brin’s wife, Nicole Shanahan, allegedly had an affair at the Art Basel Festival, an art event held in Miami in December. At the time, Shanahan and Brin were separated but still sharing a house, an anonymous source told the WSJ (meanwhile, Musk had just broken up with singer Grimes).

 

The following month, Brin reportedly filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The timing of the filing was reportedly a few weeks after he became aware of his wife’s “brief affair.”

 

According to sources, Musk kneeled down in front of Brin at another party held earlier this year and asked for forgiveness, but according to the WSJ, Brin asked his advisors to pull his personal stake in Musk’s company, and it appears that the rift between the two remains.

 

Musk and Brin have been close friends for many years, and Musk often stayed at Brin’s home when he visited Silicon Valley. Brin also once said that he wanted to give his legacy to Musk, rather than to a charity, when he died.

 

Forbes has reached out to representatives of Musk, Brin, and Shanahan for comment, but has not received a response at this time.

 

Forbes estimates Musk’s holdings as CEO of Tesla and SpaceX at $253.4 billion, making him the richest man on earth. On the other hand, Brin, who co-founded Google with Larry Page and served as CEO of Alphabet, is estimated to have $89.9 billion in assets.

 

■ A Series of Scandals

 

Musk has been the subject of multiple scandals in recent months.

 

In May, the news website Insider reported that SpaceX paid $250,000 to settle an issue in which Musk allegedly sexually harassed a female flight attendant on board a company jet in 2018. Musk denied the allegations and said the attacks on him were politically motivated.

 

To help with the demographic crisis?

 

Insider further reported this month that Musk had twins last November with a woman who is the co-founder and CEO of brain implant startup Neuralink and was previously a Tesla executive. In response to the report, Musk tweeted that he is “doing his best to help the population crisis.

 

The twins are Musk’s eighth and ninth children and were born just a month before he welcomed his tenth, a girl with ex-girlfriend Grimes.

 

Additionally, last month he announced that Vivian Jenna Wilson, the 18-year-old child born to Musk and his first wife, had completely disassociated herself from her father and filed for a name and gender change in court to reflect her new identity as a transgender person.

 

Musk was also recently sued by Twitter for retracting his Twitter acquisition offer.
