Did RFK Jr's running mate Nicole Shanahan have an affair with Elon Musk?

Nicole Shanahan, the running mate for independent presidential candidate, Robert F Kennedy, allegedly had an affair with Neuralink owner Elon Musk, Forbes reported Wednesday. 

According to a 2022 Wall Street Journal report, the Silicon Valley attorney had an alleged affair with the Tesla CEO, while she was married to the co-founder of Google — Sergey Brin, which led to her divorce in 2021. 

Both, Musk and Shanahan have denied these claims.

Musk, in an interview in July 2022, said that the journal's article was "total bs" and that he and Brin remained friends.

He wrote on X, "I've only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic."

If Kennedy wins, Shanahan will become the youngest vice president in the United States history, at the age of 38. She is the daughter of a Chinese immigrant.

In 2013, Shanahan founded a tech law firm named ClearAccessIP (now known as IPwe), which she ultimately left in 2020 to pursue philanthropy.

She then began a private foundation called the Bia-Echo Foundation, which invests in "reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable plane.t"

Shanahan is major backer for RFK Jr’s election campaigning. She reportedly spent $4 million on the controversial Super Bowl ad that had angered several members of the Kennedy family.
