  • According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk had an affair with Brin's wife.

  • Musk said he had not had sex in ages.

  • Musk and Brin were friends for a long time.

According to a report, Musk and Brin had a falling out over the infidelity of Musk's wife.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk had an affair with Brin's wife, Nicole, in December, which led to the couple divorcing in January.

Musk responded to a Journal report on Sunday.

Total bs is what this is. The two of us were at a party last night. He wrote. I've only seen Nicole two times in the last three years. There's nothing romantic.

Musk replied that he hadn't had sex in ages.

The character assassination attacks have reached a new level this year but the articles are nothingburgers.

He said there wasn't much time for shenanigans because he worked so hard.

The Journal is supposed to have a high standard for journalism, but right now it is like a tabloid.

He wants the WSJ to run stories that matter to their readers and have a solid factual basis.

Brin discovered the affair weeks after they filed for divorce, according to court documents.

According to sources, Musk begged Brin for forgiveness at a party earlier this year, but the two are still not on speaking terms.

Other revelations about Musk's personal life have come to light. Julia Black reported earlier this month that Musk had twins with one of his executives. Musk was accused of exposing himself to a flight attendant, but he has denied it.

The Journal did not reply immediately.

Business Insider has an article on it.
