Elon Musk is calling a Wall Street Journal report that he had engaged in an extramarital affair with the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin “total BS.”

The report emerged Sunday morning and was a remarkably breathless rumor report that one would more likely expect to see in a different Murdoch-owned tabloid like the New York Post and not the WSJ.

The report stated that Musk’s friendship with Brin has disintegrated due to Musk’s alleged affair with the Google co-founder’s wife, leading to divorce filings. As a result of the alleged affair, the WSJ reported, the two have drifted apart, with tension growing between them. Brin has supposedly ordered his financial advisors to sell off his personal investments in companies that Musk owns.

Not true, according to a Musk comment to a Tweet linking to the WSJ report. “This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!” he said, adding, ” I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic.”

He later added, “Haven’t even had sex in ages (sigh)” before hitting the WSJ for running “so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count! It’s embarrassing for them, frankly.”
