According to a publication by Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Musk’s brief affair with Nicole has led to a falling out between him and Sergey.
The publication further states that “their falling out is one of a string of personal issues Mr. Musk has faced even as he juggles business challenges, including manufacturing disruptions at Tesla Inc. TSLA 0.20%▲ and a court fight over his desire to withdraw his $44 billion bid for Twitter Inc.”
However, Elon Musk has reacted furiously to the allegations, referring to them as “total bs”. Musk further revealed that he is still friends with Sergey and that they were at a party last night.
Musk added that he has seen Nicole twice within the last three years and that both times, there were many people around.

This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night!
I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic.

Musk went on to question why the WSJ “has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count!”, adding that “it’s embarrassing for them [WSJ], frankly.”
WSJ has run so many bs hit pieces on me and Tesla I’ve lost count! It’s embarrassing for them, frankly.
They once wrote an article saying FBI was about to arrest me, so I called FBI to ask what’s up and they said WSJ article was total bs.
Just more shortseller fud.
