The friendship of a lifetime between Elon Musk and Sergei Brin, co-founder of Google, is officially over. The stone of the scandal was the brief flirtation that Tesla's boss had with Brin's wife last fall. Although the relationship didn't last long, it was enough to break the relationship between the two Silicon Valley giants, despite Musk's kneeling apology.
Nicole Shanahan, the disputed woman, and her husband filed for divorce in January for "irreconcilable differences". Papers filed in court - reports the Wall Street Journal - a few weeks after Brin discovered the betrayal consumed in Miami during the Art Basel exhibition week, in early December, when the couple was already separated but still living together.
Tesla's boss had recently split up with his girlfriend, singer Grimes. Earlier this year, at a party they met at, Musk knelt in front of Brin, apologized, and pleaded with him to forgive him, but did not convince him.
