- WSJ published a story last year that cited sources alleging Elon Musk slept with Sergey Brin’s wife.
- Musk denied the affair, saying the two remained friends and shared a selfie of the two at a party.
- The new Elon Musk biography reveals that Musk forced the selfie, which Brin tried to dodge.
Google cofounder Sergey Brin tried to dodge the now-famous selfie with Elon Musk that the Tesla CEO used to dispute allegations that he had slept with Brin’s wife, incited their divorce, and destroyed the two men’s friendship, according to a new biography of Musk by author Walter Isaacson.
The Wall Street Journal published a story last July citing multiple unnamed sources that alleged the longstanding friendship between Musk and Brin was “ruptured” after Musk had a one-night stand with Brin’s then-wife, Nicole Shanahan, in early December 2021. Both Musk and Shanahan denied any affair took place.
