The tweet from Musk came amid reports that Google co-founder Sergey Brin has asked his advisers to sell investments in Musk’s companies after he got to know about the SpaceX founder’s affair with his wife.
However, the Tesla CEO took to Twitter to deny the reports. He called the reports “total BS”, adding that he and Brin are still on good terms.
He even slammed The Wall Street Journal as he said: “The WSJ has run so many BS hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count! It’s embarrassing for them, frankly.”

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has made the headlines recently over his deal to buy microblogging platform Twitter and then calling it off, accusing the company of "misleading" statements about the number of fake accounts.
He also landed in trouble in May this year, when reports emerged that a former SpaceX flight attendant had accused Musk of sexual misconduct while on a flight to London in his private jet.
According to the reports, the flight attendant accused the SpaceX founder of exposing his penis and rubbing her legs without her permission.
The incident reportedly happened in 2016, however, Musk had recently paid $250,000 to settle the matter.
