(New York Post) Elon Musk is laughing off wild reports he had a friendship-ruining affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife — sending The Post a photo of himself happily hanging out with his longtime pal even as the rumors spread.
Musk, 51, insisted the claims of a fling with his bestie’s estranged wife, Nicole Shanahan, were “total bs” — even quipping, “Haven’t even had sex in ages (sigh).”
The world’s richest man also sent The Post a photo showing him partying with Brin, 48, who was supposed to have cooled their bromance after the alleged betrayal.
“Took this pic only two hours ago,” Musk told The Post of the photo of him laughing while rubbing shoulders with his fellow billionaire.
The Tesla mogul turned serious to strongly deny the widely-spread Wall Street Journal report that claimed a December fling was behind Brin’s divorce.
“Nicole and Sergey’s divorce has absolutely nothing to do with me,” Musk insisted by email.
“I am sure both Nicole and Sergey would confirm that. I spoke with both Sergey and Nicole about this and they say the story isn’t coming from them, so [it] must be a case of broken telephone, two or three layers removed,” he said.

“And, not to dodge the question, I have only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around.
“We were not romantically involved in any way,” he insisted.
The Tesla mogul shared a similar message on Twitter while replying to a message claiming he “banged” Shanahan and was “apparently no longer friends” with Brin, who had propped up Tesla during the 2008 financial crisis.
“This is total bs,” he tweeted.
