KUALA LUMPUR (July 26): Eccentric billionaire Elon Musk said the amount of attention on him has gone supernova, adding that even trivial articles about him generated a lot of clicks.
In a tweet on Monday (July 25), the co-founder of Tesla Inc said: “The amount of attention on me has gone supernova, which super sucks. Unfortunately, even trivial articles about me generate a lot of clicks.
“Will try my best to be heads down focused on doing useful things for civilization,” he said.
Musk said late on Sunday on Twitter that he and Google co-founder Sergey Brin remain friends and denied a report that he had been involved in an affair with Brin's wife Nicole Shanahan.
Musk's tweets came after a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that cited unidentified sources saying he had engaged in a brief affair with Shanahan.
The paper said the affair prompted Brin to file for divorce from Shanahan earlier this year and ended the tech billionaires' long friendship.
