The long-term friendship between Elon Musk And Sergei Brin, the co-founder of Google. Tesla’s boss has in fact had an affair with Brin’s wife, Nicole Shanahanlast fall, a flirt short but that caused the divorce of the couple and obviously the rupture of relations between the two giants of Silicon Valley, despite Musk’s apologies on his knees.
For the complicated life of the richest man in the world, both working and sentimental, this is a new chapter. In fact, it is not only the clash with Twitter that turns the spotlight on Tesla’s patron. For the past couple of months it has been accused of harassment by a stewardess of his SpaceX, it was leaked that last year he had two children with a manager at Neuralink, another of his companies, and one of his 10 children he publicly repudiated him.
Brin and his wife, Nicole Shanahan, filed for divorce in January for “irreconcilable differences”. Papers filed in court – reports the Wall Street Journal – a few weeks after Brin had discovered his wife’s betrayal with Musk, one of his best friends. A treason consummated in Miami during the Art Basel exhibition week, in early December, when the couple was already separated but still living together. Tesla’s boss had recently split up with his girlfriend, singer Grimes. Earlier this year, at a party they met at, Musk knelt in front of Brin, apologized, and pleaded with him to forgive him, but did not convince him.
The co-founder of Google and the owner of Tesla were linked by a very close friendship. Musk himself has repeatedly told about his evenings at his friend’s house. In 2008, in the midst of the financial crisis, Brin wrote him a check for $ 500,000 to help him with Tesla. And Musk later gave him one of the first electric SUVs. Then the betrayal and the breakup of relations, with Brin – the eighth richest man in the world – who also ordered his financial advisors to sell all his shares in Musk’s companies.
Brin and Shanahan met seven years ago at a yoga retreat on Wanderlust and moved on four years ago. Both had already been moved, Brin with Anne Wojcicki, co-founder of 23andMe with whom he had two children, and Shanahan with a manager. The couple started having problems in 2021 thanks to the lockdowns from Covid and the difficulties with their three-year-old daughter. The betrayal with Musk dealt the definitive blow to their relationship and ended up with stamps, with Shanahan asking for a billion dollars and Brin opposing.
