Elon Musk says he plans to focus on doing "useful things" for humanity amid a string of scandals about his personal life that have come to light in recent months.
"The amount of attention on me has gone supernova, which super sucks," Musk tweeted on Monday, adding that he found it unfortunate that "even trivial articles" about him were going viral.
"Will try my best to be heads down focused on doing useful things for civilization," Musk tweeted.
While it was unclear if Musk's post meant that the billionaire was planning a social media break, he did go quiet on Twitter for over a week in June before returning to the platform with a photo of himself and his children with Pope Francis.
It has been a turbulent few months for Musk's personal life.
On Sunday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk had a brief affair with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Google co-founder and Tesla investor Sergey Brin. According to The Journal, this prompted Shanahan and Brin's divorce in January and caused Musk's friendship with Brin to rupture.
Musk vigorously denied the
Last November, Musk quietly had twins with one of his top executives, Shivon Zilis, Insider's Julia Black reported earlier this month.
In May, Insider also reported that Musk's SpaceX had paid a company flight attendant $250,000 to stay quiet after she claimed that Musk exposed himself to her during a massage on board his jet and propositioned her for sex.
Representatives at Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
