A report by the New York Times has come out with new details involving Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nicole Shanahan, the estranged wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The report claims that Musk and Shanahan had an affair and that Musk has been using ketamine, a powerful anesthetic often used illicitly for its hallucinogenic effects.
The affair between Musk and Shanahan reportedly took place in early 2022, causing a rift in Musk’s long-standing friendship with Brin.
According to the report, Brin filed for divorce from Shanahan in January 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The scandal has not only impacted personal relationships but has also raised questions about Musk’s behavior and decision-making.
In addition to the alleged affair, the report suggests that Musk has been using ketamine both recreationally and to manage depression. This revelation has sparked a broader discussion about the pressures faced by high-profile tech executives and the measures they might take to cope with stress and mental health issues.
Responding to the allegations, Musk tweeted, “I’ve only used ketamine a few times, for medical purposes, and it was quite effective.” He did not directly address the affair allegations but called the overall report “utterly false” and “pure baloney.”
Nicole Shanahan, through her representatives, has denied the affair, calling the rumors “baseless” and emphasizing that her focus remains on her philanthropic work and personal growth. Sergey Brin has not publicly commented on the matter.
The report has generated significant media attention, given the high profiles of the individuals involved. It also raises potential concerns for Tesla and SpaceX, as investors and stakeholders assess the impact of Musk’s personal controversies on his professional responsibilities.
