Elon Musk’s Friendship With Sergey Brin Ruptured by Alleged Affair
Tesla chief’s liaison with Google co-founder’s wife led to couple’s divorce filing

Elon Musk engaged in a brief affair last fall with the wife of Sergey Brin, prompting the Google co-founder to file for divorce earlier this year and ending the tech billionaires’ long friendship, according to people familiar with the matter.

Jeez, the guy just can't keep it in his pants. Or maybe Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan issued him an open invitation.

Nicole Shanahan has a great Irish surname, but her mother is Chinese and raised her alone, I read. Maybe her father was Irish.

She apparently prefers the rocket instead of software.

This is actually one of the most disgraceful things I’ve heard about Musk. Betraying your friend of many years who put you up in his own house time after time, welcoming you into his home…that’s really selfish and despicable.

Agreed. I’m usually behind Elon but this is terrible.

Elon is on the spectrum. I’m speculating but that can sometimes mean difficulty with women, boundaries, etc

At the same time, he’s denying it so maybe its media BS again.

WDSS - what does Sergey say?

Wow! I thought his dad was only disgusting having affair with step daughter!

PANSPERMIA! IS! A! REALITY! AT! TESLA! TODAY!

Don’t jump to the conclusion too quickly folks. Another hit piece on Elon from the WSJ.

From Elon today: “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.”

From Elon: “WSJ has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count! It’s embarrassing for them, frankly.

They once wrote an article saying FBI was about to arrest me, so I called FBI to ask what’s up and they said WSJ article was total bs.

Just more shortseller fud.”

WSJ’s reputation is trashed now. TSLA short sellers lost $1B last week when TSLA stock ran up.

I think it far more likely WSJ was aiding and abetting insider trading with rumors. WSJ toilet paper, like the rest of the captive MSM, sucker ink.

tha lib must be soooo mad.

elon is anti-woke yet impervious to their bully and cancel tactics. he parried their attacks, then counterattacked their main bully machine, twitter, and crit them for 9000 by exposing the botnet opinion-manufacturing machine. so they now resort to paid hit pieces from "trusted" news outlets, one of their time tested strategies for stubborn problems, and even those fail.

Yes, looks like I fell for it because it was the WSJ.

Wow, they really burned their credibility on this one.

@patrick, here’s another link. Maybe you can help to screen shot it and share it with everyone here.

Ya know, I wonder if maybe WSJ got played here. They shouldn't allow themselves to get played - they should practice solid journalism and not publish heresay. But...

this could be a clever move from team Elon, or someone who likes Elon but isn't necessarily on his team, or someone who has an interest in hurting WSJ, or someone who has an interested in further degrading trust in MSM etc...

Just make up a BS story and convince a media outlet that its true. Maybe show some compelling evidence that they wont be able to immediately tell is fake, and then maybe play a traditional sales tactic on them: "hurry! you must act now or the window of opportunity will be gone!" as a way to entice them to publish ASAP with less than typical rigor. Then they publish, and the facts will emerge and counter their story and savage their credibility.

A lot of "news" outlets in recent years seems happy to publish crap from rumorville, so feeding them poisonpill rumors as a way to humiliate them and their credibility would be a clever "leak detector dye" in the short term, and maybe even antidote in the long term. Kinda like how ~5yrs ago they published those fake but comical studies into woke academic/scientific journals, who promptly accepted and approved them, proving they accept anything.

Correct. Now let's see if the WSJ fires the person responsible. At least that way we would know the WSJ is serious about not publishing misinformation.

https://slaynews.com/news/elon-musk-calls-out-joe-biden-over-trading-wnba-player-for-russian-war-criminal/

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has called out Joe Biden over the Democrat president’s offer to trade “woke” WNBA player Brittney Griner for a Russian war criminal.

As Slay News previously reported, Biden offered to exchange Griner for Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker also known as “Merchant of Death.”

Bout is currently serving a 25-year U.S. prison sentence while Griner is locked up in Russia on drugs charges.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin adds names to the exchange list, many are questioning Biden’s potential trade offer.

Musk responded to a Twitter post showing the picture of an unhappy man with the caption:

“People in the US in jail for weed while the government trades a Russian war criminal to free a woman’s basketball player in jail for weed.”

The latest government swing at Elon. Nope we ain't gonna pay you the money we said we were. Biden politics at its best.

That is how it works. You cooperate with government corruption and they give you deals. You don't cooperate, no deal.

Yup.

SpaceX won't need the subsidies anyway. They are so far ahead of any competition that it is not even funny. SpaceX are launching 50+ satellites almost every week now using reusable rockets that have already been bought and paid for by previous launches from paying customers. Who can catch this?
