Sergey Brin might score $100 million profit by selling Tesla stock (Markets Insider)

Brin has moved to dump his stakes in Elon Musk's companies after the Tesla CEO reportedly had a brief affair with his wife. Musk has denied the claim.

Brin bet an unknown amount on Tesla in 2006, helping the nascent electric-vehicle company to raise a total of $40 million.
