    So for those who don’t follow (I’m not an American).

    2nd gen Chinese immigrant who attended private school, later graduating as a lawyer, founded and served as CEO of the Palo Alto–based firm ClearAccessIP, a patent analytics company.

    She married Segey Brin (Google) and then had an alleged affair with Elon Muskrat.

    The split drew extra scrutiny when the Wall Street Journal reported that the couple’s breakup had been triggered by a brief affair that Shanahan had with Brin’s close friend, Elon Musk.

      lol what is it with rich people fucking each other? If you’re that rich you could probably pay for any supermodel, man or woman, to fuck, instead of weirdly fucking the other members of your hedge fund

        Same reason old royals were/are inbred fucks. When money and power considerations take precedence over any normal reason for a mating you end up with a pretty small group of families intermingling over and over.

        It’s a power thing. Also an amoral sociopath thing. It’s a big part of how they got so rich in the first place and a thing having that much money does to a person.

      Getting cheated on with Lonnie is likely the catalyst to someone using their wealth to become a super villain. I mean, that would just fuck with me so much harder than if it was Barry that she worked with.
