"RFK Jr.'s Super Bowl Ad Sparks Controversy and Apologies"
TL;DR
Sergey Brin's ex-wife, Anne Wojcicki, contributed $4 million to a super PAC to fund a Super Bowl ad supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign, citing alignment with her values. The ad, featuring archival footage of the Kennedy family, drew controversy for its use of deceased family members' images and RFK Jr.'s vaccine-related conspiracy theories. Shanahan's involvement in the ad's production included connecting the super PAC to contacts and retro theme to bypass legal restrictions. This comes after her divorce from Brin and allegations of an affair with Elon Musk, which both parties have denied.
