Tesla CEO Reportedly Dropped Apology After His Affair With Google Co-Founder's Wife

Google co-founder Sergey Brin divorced his wife in January after learning of her alleged affair with Elon Musk. Tesla CEO reportedly dropped to his knees and begged his longtime friend for forgiveness.

According to close sources, incident happened at a party earlier this year, while Brin acknowledged the apology, the 2 tech moguls are not currently speaking.

Musk's reported affair with Brin's wife, Nicole Shanahan, started at the Art Basel art show in Miami in December 2021.

Sources said that Brin and Shanahan were separated at the time but still living together, and had encountered difficulties tied to COVID-19 and caring for their toddler daughter.

Brin filed for divorce in January, citing "irreconcilable differences," according to court documents.

In the subsequent months, as per sources, his relationship with Musk has been strained. Brin instructed his financial advisers to sell his investments in Musk's various businesses. Among them include Tesla that Brin invested $500,000 in 2008.

The alleged affair took place when Elon Musk had broken up with his girlfriend, Grimes. The 2 have 2 children, including a daughter who was born via surrogate the same month of the affair.
