Sergey Brin and Elon Musk are Silicon Valley frenemies

I apologize for what I am about to do, but I would like to discuss some divorced men. I believe that Sergey Brin is trying to ruin his ex-wife, and that he is using his relationship with Musk to do it.

Musk is said to have had an affair with Brin's wife. According to people with knowledge of the incident, Musk begged for Brin's forgiveness at a party. There is a story.

I don't think this is normal. What number of people? There are two different sources on this. Which type of knowledge? Did they show up? I understand that one wants to protect their sources, but I need more context to understand how serious that is. Can I be sure that Musk wasn't just trying to ice Brin?

Brin is still duking it out with his soon-to-be ex- wife in court. According to the WSJ, Brin's lawyers think she is asking for too much. I don't know how the WSJ got this story, but I believe it will benefit him. He can keep more of his money if he proves she is unfaithful. She might be more likely to get married quickly if she is afraid of further news about their marriage making it into the papers.

An anonymous source has told the New York Post that she is a pawn in billionaire playboy games. NYP rarely misses in celebrity coverage because of its strong relationships with publicists, but Page Six isn't what it was.

Musk is funnier if Brin's people are behind the leak. Twice in the last three years, Musk has seen the man alone. He says that he hasn't had sex in ages. He may have been turned away from a Berlin sex club.

Musk posted a photo of himself and Brin at the same party in reply to a Wall Street Journal editor who wrote about them. A strange choice. I remember an earlier picture Musk had been asked about, one of him with Ghislaine Maxwell, the right-hand woman to Jeffrey Epstein, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking. She photobombed him, according to Musk.

It is odd to deny that a photograph is proof of a friendship, then post a photograph as proof. Musk said that a photo of two people at the same party doesn't mean anything.

Musk in the foreground and Brin in the background are not making eye contact with the camera. Brin is holding a cup at a party under a tent. Two people in the picture are either children or very short. A person is wearing a costume. I have been trying to locate the trees in the background for too long. I sent email to experts. The trees were too low to be identified.

It is clear that Musk and Brin were at the same party. It's hard to say whether it's proof of friendship.

According to the account that tracks Musk's movements, his jet flew into San Jose's airport on July 23rd and left on July 24th. Musk and Brin were served lobster deviled eggs at the party according to a chef named Andrew Gruel. In Huntington Beach, Calif., where he is based, he left the patio at one of his restaurants open during the stay-at- home order of the governor.

The New York Post quoted Musk as saying that the divorce of Nicole and Sergey was not related to him. For what it's worth, this is the second celebrity divorce in which Musk has been accused of homewrecking; Johnny Depp claimed that Musk began a relationship with his now-ex-wife, Amber Heard, a month after they were married.

According to the book Power Play, Brin invested half a million dollars in the company. According to Insider, Brin may have invested some money in 2006 According to the WSJ story, Brin has ordered his financial advisers to sell his personal investments in Mr. Musk.

I'm pretty sure I know why. All of those investments would be part of the negotiations that Brin and Shanahan are having with each other. The point of the WSJ story is to make her look bad. It seems like Brin's lawyers hung Musk out to dry just to get to Shanahan.

There was aggression toward Musk. They have a past. First of all, it is possible that Musk nicked the name from the internet giant. According to the biography of Musk, Larry Page and Brin were considering buying the company. This didn't happen because of Musk's self-promotional abilities Edward Niedermeyer wrote that Musk was either inspired or scared into self- driving cars.

It was clear before Brin left that rivalry existed between the two companies. John Krafcik, CEO of the company, said in January 2021, thatTesla is not a competitor. "It may seem like a small change, but it's an important one, because precision in language matters and could save lives" This seems to be a dig atTesla, which calls its driver assistance program a full self-driving program.

The lion's share of the beef started after Brin left the company. Brin and Musk appear to be at the same party. Unless Brin and Musk agreed on leaking the WSJ story together to screw Shanahan, they seem to be more like enemies than friends.

Silicon Valley has a lot of tech- bro enemies. The coup that pushed Musk out of PayPal was the result of a long relationship between Musk and Peter. All of these guys need each other, and they may also hate each other. It seems like it is stressed out. It looks like everyone will get what they need here except for one.

Is it me that Musk is having a hard time getting attention? He has a game with retail shareholders. My guy is a big fan of it. I remember the McLaren. Remember the song, "Don't doubt ur vibe". There is a fake robot. Musk is an obvious student of NASA scientist Wernher von Braun, and he does his version of " Man Will Conquer Space Soon" on the social media site. He needs to be looked at. Isn't that what he's buying the social networking site for?

It's possible that Brin and Musk are still friends. I am pretty sure that Musk can't distinguish between good and bad attention. He is happy because attention sellsTeslas.
