According to a Wall Street Journal report, Musk and Shanahan had a brief affair while at an arts festival in December last year.
Musk has however dismissed the article saying that he works too many b to have time for “shenanigans”.
“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,” he tweeted.

The publication has since spoken out against Musk by saying that they are sticking to the report and have a reliable source behind it.
“We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting,” WSJ told The Daily Mail in an email statement.
Meanwhile, Musk’s mom has also come to his defense and says that there is a “smear campaign” underway against her son.
