According to the WSF report, the Musk-Shanahan affair allegedly occurred at the ‘Art Basel’ event in Miami following the Tesla CEO’s split with then girlfriend Claire Boucher, famously known as Grimes.
Brin and Shanahan were separated but still living together at the time.
The couple’s relationship was reportedly strained due to issues related to the Covid lockdowns and their three-year-old daughter.
Brin and Musk had been close friends but after the alleged affair, their relationship soured, the report claimed.
Brin has also reportedly told advisors to sell his personal investments in Musk’s companies.
In an earlier tweet on Monday, Musk said: “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,” the Tesla CEO added.
