Elon Musk laughs off affair rumors with Sergey Brin's wife, insists he hasn’t ‘had sex in ages’

Elon Musk is laughing at the crazy rumors that he had an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin's wife that ruined their friendship. He sent The Post a photo of himself having a good time with his longtime friend while the rumors were going around.

Musk, who is 51 years old, said that rumors that he had a one-night stand with his best friend's divorced wife, Nicole Shanahan, were "total bs." He even joked, "Haven't even had sex in ages (sigh)."

The richest person in the world also sent The Post a photo of him partying with Brin, 48, who was supposed to have ended their bromance after the alleged betrayal.

"I took this picture just two hours ago," Musk told The Post about the picture of him laughing with another billionaire while they rubbed shoulders.

A widely shared Wall Street Journal report said that Brin's divorce was caused by a one-night stand in December. The Tesla mogul took a serious tone to deny this claim.

“Took this pic only two hours ago,” Elon Musk told The Post late Sunday as proof he was still pals with Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

“Nicole and Sergey’s divorce has absolutely nothing to do with me,” Musk insisted by email.

“I am sure both Nicole and Sergey would confirm that. I spoke with both Sergey and Nicole about this and they say the story isn’t coming from them, so [it] must be a case of broken telephone, two or three layers removed,” he said.

“And, not to dodge the question, I have only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around.

“We were not romantically involved in any way,” he insisted.

The Tesla mogul shared a similar message on Twitter while replying to a message claiming he “banged” Shanahan and was “apparently no longer friends” with Brin, who had propped up Tesla during the 2008 financial crisis.

“This is total bs,” he tweeted.

“Haven’t even had sex in ages (sigh),” Musk insisted when the Twitter profile he responded to advised him to “keep your d–k in your pants” because “they’re out for your head.”

When another follower asked if that including not having sex during his recent chest-baring vacation, he insisted, “Nope.”

He dismissed the report as just the latest example of “character assassination attacks [that] have reached a new level this year.”

“I work crazy hours, so there just isn’t much time for shenanigans. None of the key people involved in these alleged wrongdoings were even interviewed!” he wrote.

He suggested followers call out the WSJ, which “is supposed to have a high standard for journalism.”

“WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay,” he wrote.
