The co-founder of **Telsa** [Elon Musk](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1738/elon-musk-to-get-sued-by-twitter-as-it-hires-us-law-firm-wachtell) had an alleged communication in early **December** month in **Miami** with Brin's wife **Nicole Shanahan**. Well, with this rumor the long friendship got ended between Musk and Brin, who had helped to support the electrical carmaker during the **2008** [financial crisis](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39384/on-which-basis-of-financial-crisis-emergency-has-been-declared-by-the-president-of-india).

The alleged affair is considered to be the latest [news](https://www.mindstick.com/developersection/news) in a string of revelations in Musk's [personal life](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/2260/let-s-explore-the-personal-life-of-elon-musk-with-interesting-facts). Well, in the early days of this year he became the father of twins born to a senior executive at his [artificial intelligence](https://www.mindstick.com/services/artificial-intelligence) startup **[Neuralink](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1406/neuralink-elon-musk-s-trials-to-link-human-brain-to-computer-killed-15-monkeys-out-of-23)**.

On the other hand, another of his firms **SpaceX** had paid an employee with **$250,000** (roughly a pair of crore) money in order to settle down the claim that she was sexually harassed by Musk in **2016**. However, Musk had put his denial on the accusations by saying that those were “**utterly untrue**” and had designed to interfere with his acquisition of [Twitter](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1728/elon-musk-abandoned-the-44billion-deal-to-buy-twitter), an agreement which he was on the way to put an exit.

Well, Brin and Shanahan have been negotiating a settlement right now. It has been reported that Shanahan is about to seek over **$1 billion** (roughly Rs. 7,980 crore) through an agreement.
