Tesla chief Elon Musk is once again at the centre of a controversy as reports linked him to Google co-founder Sergey Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan.
Shanahan and Bryn had announced their divorce earlier this year over “irreconcilable differences” however a Wall Street Journal report claimed that Shanahan was allegedly involved in an extramarital relationship with the Tesla chief.
Musk was quick to dismiss the report declaring it was "total bs" and asserting that Brin was a friend and they recently partied together.
