Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is facing criticism from an unexpected source—his own father, Errol Musk. In a recent interview, Errol slammed his son’s parenting, alleging that he hasn’t been a good father to his growing number of children.
Errol Musk’s Harsh Critique
The 78-year-old former engineer and South African businessman did not hold back in his assessment of Elon’s parenting skills. He claimed that the tech mogul is too focused on his businesses and not present enough in the lives of his children.
“Elon is a busy man, but being a father requires more than just providing financially. He hasn’t been a good dad in terms of being there for his children.”
Elon Musk’s Expanding Family
Musk, known for advocating population growth, has fathered at least 12 children with multiple women, including:
- Justine Wilson – 5 children
- Grimes (Claire Boucher) – 3 children
- Shivon Zilis – 3 children
- Ashley St. Clair (alleged) – 1 child (unconfirmed)
Despite his public admiration for large families, Errol suggests that Elon’s wealth and work commitments keep him from being an engaged parent.
A Complicated Father-Son Relationship
Elon Musk has had a strained relationship with his father for years. He has previously called Errol a “terrible human being” and criticized his past actions, including fathering a child with his stepdaughter. Meanwhile, Errol has frequently spoken out against Elon, often downplaying his achievements.
Musk’s Silence on the Accusations
Elon Musk has yet to respond publicly to his father’s latest remarks. However, given their history of conflict, it’s unlikely that this will be the last time the two make headlines for their ongoing family feud.
