BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk today branded claims he had an affair with the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin as "total BS" - and hit out at "character assassinations" about his personal life.

'Nothing-burger' affair claim is just character attack, says Musk

It was reported yesterday that Musk and Nicole Shanahan had a fling in December last year, when she and Mr Brin were separated but still living together. But Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX boss, took to Twitter last night to issue a series of denials, rejecting the affair claim made in the Wall Street Journal.

He also denied reports of a threesome with actress Amber Heard and model Cara Delevingne, and told one follower: "Haven't even had sex in ages (sigh)." It was reported that Musk's friendship with Mr Brin had been ended by the affair, and the Google co-founder had filed for divorce from Ms Shanahan, a California-based lawyer, earlier this year.
