Musk went on a tweeting spree post the report, even writing once that he hadn’t “even had sex in ages.”

The alleged affair

Musk and Shanahan’s affair allegedly happened at the ‘Art Basel’ event in Miami. This was after Musk had split from former partner Grimes. Google co-founder Brin and his wife were living together at the time but were separated. Their relationship had become strained due to issues connected to the lockdowns due to Covid-19 and their 3-year-old daughter, it was reported. 

The report said that Musk and Brin, who have been long-time friends, grew apart after this. Brin has told his advisers to offload his personal investments in Musk’s companies, it is claimed.
