[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has once again denied allegations of an affair with the wife of Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google. Musk and Brin are known to be close friends.

On the 26th (local time), Musk posted a photo on his Twitter showing him enjoying a party with Brin. He said, "Sergey and I yesterday afternoon," adding, "One photo is worth more than 1,000 tweets." He expressed frustration, saying, "The attention on me is overwhelming and really annoying," and "Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me get a lot of clicks."

Earlier, on the 24th, the U.S. Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that Musk had an affair with Brin's wife, Nicole Shanahan, in December last year. WSJ also reported that this affair worsened the relationship between Musk and Brin, and that Musk went to Brin, knelt down, and apologized.

In response, Musk denied the claims as "nonsense." On the same day, he posted on Twitter, "Brin and I are friends and were together at a party last night," explaining, "Shanahan and I have only met twice in the past three years, and both times there were many people around, with no romantic situation."
