Elon Musk’s omnipresence on news makes it seem like the internet will never run out of Musk content. One after the other, Musk stories springs up like mushrooms during mushroom. Sometimes it is his tweets, and other times it is his feats. Either way, the wealthiest man on the planet rarely leaves the spotlight on the internet. The latest Musk controversy that got netizens talking was a Wall Street Journal report about an alleged affair between Musk and Google CEO Sergey Brin’s ex-wife, Nicole Shanahan. Apparently, the affair acted as the catalyst for the divorce. The news has made its impact and the Twitter town cannot keep calm. Memes and responses have been raining down on Twitter ever since the news began doing rounds on the internet. Read along to know more.
Again and Again
Elon Musk has a lot of titles, official and unofficial. However, it seems like the Tesla CEO is not quite pleased with the ‘home-breaker’ title. Musk took to Twitter to state that the report was baseless and totally untrue. In fact, he even added that Brin and he are still good friends. And if that is not enough proof for the untainted camaraderie between the two, they even attended a party the night before, or so he says. The fact that Sergey had played a crucial part in helping Tesla out of the financial crisis in the past adds to the gravity of the issue. Nobody approves of a person who bites the hand that fed it. Looks like the usually unabashed Musk is quite aware of that. Let us take a look at his tweets in response to the report.
Well, the tweet wasn’t that hard to figure out after all.

And some partially-philosophical toppings to finish the overall effect

To be fair, it does look like Sergey wanted nothing to do with the picture.
Looks to me as if you photobombed him…
Just as you claim Ghislaine Maxwell did!

People managed to solve one of the world’s mysteries, thanks to the report.
One way to get a reply from @elonmusk is to tell a ___ about him?

Elon’s idea of ‘ages’ and ours are two very different things.

The report may or may not be true. However, one question that’s looming large is, ‘Why is nobody talking about Sergey Brin’s silence about the report?’
