《華爾街日報》爆出馬斯克和好友Google共同創辦人布林的妻子沙娜漢發生婚外情，馬斯克在推特上回應了，「這根本就是完全鬼扯，謝爾蓋（Sergey Brin）跟我還是朋友，昨晚還一起參加派對。」
今年年初傳出全球第七富豪布林與妻子協議離婚的消息，如今有報導指出是布林得知馬斯克與自己老婆沙娜漢（Nicole Shanahan）發生婚外情後，才憤而提出離婚申請。對此，馬斯克在推特上表示否認，回應「報導完全是在胡說八道，謝爾蓋（布林）跟我是朋友，昨晚還一起參加派對！我在3年內只見過妮可（沙娜漢）2次，旁邊都有別人，沒有任何情愫發生。」
馬斯克在推特上表示，「《華爾街日報》應該是一間具有高新聞素養的媒體，但現在卻淪為八卦小報！」他認為《華爾街日報》應該要報導真實可信的新聞，而不是第三方告知的傳聞。
馬斯克先前曾發文預告，媒體對他的政治攻擊可能將在未來幾個月「升級」，如今他也感嘆回文，「今年的追殺來到了新高度，但那些新聞都是空穴來風」他強調，自己的工作忙碌，沒太多時間搞惡作劇，表示連新聞關鍵人都沒接受過採訪。
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.
Call them out on it, I guess. WSJ is supposed to have a high standard for journalism and, right now, they are way sub tabloid.

WSJ should be running stories that actually matter to their readers and have solid factual basis, not third-party random hearsay.
Yeah, the character assassination attacks have reached a new level this year, but the articles are all nothing-burgers.

I work crazy hours, so there just isn’t much time for shenanigans.
None of the key people involved in these alleged wrongdoings were even interviewed!
