Compared to Maye Musk – the biological mother of billionaire Elon Musk, the father of this billionaire, Errol Musk, is less noticed by the media and is less mentioned, because he is not active in the entertainment industry like Maye Musk (she is a model) and almost never appears with billionaire Elon Musk.

Errol Musk, born in 1943, is a South African electromechanical engineer. He is also a pilot, sailor and real estate consultant. Errol Musk married Maye Musk in 1970, giving birth to 3 children including Elon (born in 1971), Kimbal (1972) and Tosca (1974), before separating in 1979.

Elon Musk rarely mentions his father because the relationship between the two is not good. In a 2017 interview, Elon Musk described his father as a “brilliant engineer” but also a “terrible human being” and claimed his childhood was “painful and isolated”.

“He committed almost every crime you can imagine. It was so horrible, it was unbelievable”, Elon Musk commented on his father in the interview, but did not specify what crimes Errol Musk had committed.

In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Errol Musk admitted to shooting dead three people who broke into his home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Errol Musk was later charged with manslaughter, but was eventually acquitted on the grounds of self-defense.

Errol Musk was known as a “playboy” from a young age and had many different relationships.

Errol Musk married his first wife, Maye Musk, in 1970, and had three children, Elon (born in 1971), Kimbal (1972), and Tosca (1974), before divorcing in 1979. In 1991, Elon Musk remarried Heide Bezuidenhout and welcomed two more children with her.

Errol and his second wife divorced again after 18 years of marriage. However, it is worth mentioning that after divorcing Heide Bezuidenhout, Errol Musk began dating Jana Bezuidenhout, his ex-wife’s stepdaughter.

At the time Errol Musk and Heide Bezuidenhout got married, Jana was only 4 years old and she had been cared for and raised by Errol since she was a child, so when Errol Musk decided to date his ex-wife’s stepdaughter, it shocked and dismayed many people.

Not only stopping at dating, this couple even welcomed their first child together in 2018, baby boy Elliot Rush Musk, also known by his intimate name Rushi. Recently, when preparing to celebrate her 35th birthday, Jana continued to give birth to Errol Musk’s second child. Errol said that having a second child with Jana was “unplanned”, as the two are no longer living together due to generational differences.

Just like Elon Musk once declared after being discovered having a child with a subordinate, Errol Musk also believes that having many children is necessary for humanity.

“Our only purpose on earth is to reproduce,” Errol Musk said. “If I can have more children, I see no reason not to do it.”

Errol Musk even said that there are currently at least 6 women claiming to have children with him, but he is not too concerned about it.

“There are about 6 women claiming that their children are mine. Obviously, they are opportunists,” Errol Musk said. “There was a period in the 80s when I went out with different girls every night, I had a lot of dates. So one of them could come back and say that it is my child, which is entirely possible. But there is no real evidence that can prove that it is my child.”

In addition, Errol admitted that the other children were shocked to learn of his relationship with Jana, because they are nominally brother and sister. Some sources also said that Elon Musk was really “crazy” when he learned that his father had a child with Jana, which made the relationship between the billionaire father and daughter Elon Musk even worse.

Despite his poor relationship with his father, Elon Musk has inherited his “womanizing” streak from his father, having had many different relationships and having many children with his lovers.

Elon Musk met his first wife, Canadian writer Justine Wilson, in 2000. In 2002, the couple welcomed their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk. However, the boy died at just 10 weeks old due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The couple then decided to use in vitro fertilization to welcome twins Xavier and Griffin in 2004, followed by triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian in 2006.

Elon Musk and Justin Wilson split in 2008, after having five children together. Also in this year, Elon Musk began dating British actress Talulah Riley and by 2010, the couple was married.

In 2012, Elon Musk announced that he and Riley were divorcing, but just a year later, the couple got married again. In 2014, Elon Musk filed for divorce from Riley again, but Musk later decided to withdraw the petition. In 20

16, the divorce petition was filed in court and the couple “went their separate ways” without having any children together.

Elon Musk then dated actress Amber Heard for several months in 2017. Musk was said to be the “third person” who broke up the marriage between Amber Heard and “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp.

After breaking up with Amber Heard after only a few months of dating, however, in April 2021, the actress gave birth to a baby girl. Although Amber Heard did not say who the baby’s father was, many people suspected that it was Elon Musk. However, neither Elon Musk nor Amber Heard denied or admitted this.

After breaking up with Amber Heard, Elon Musk quickly jumped into a new relationship with singer Grimes in May 2018. In September 2021, the couple announced their separation after 3 years of dating and having 2 children together.

Notably, just a few weeks before Elon Musk and Grimes welcomed their second child together in November 2021, the billionaire and a subordinate, Zhivon Zilis (director of the artificial intelligence company founded by Musk – Neuralink) welcomed a pair of twins together.

Information about Elon Musk having a child with a subordinate was only revealed in early July 2022. Many people suspected that the billionaire had “cuckolded” his girlfriend and had an affair with Zhivon Zilis while still dating Grimes. It seems that this is the reason Musk completely kept the fact that he had a child with a subordinate a secret.

The twins with Zilis are Elon Musk’s 8th and 9th children. Previously, this billionaire had 5 children from his marriage with his ex-wife – writer Justine Wilson and 2 children with singer Grimes.

Although he has many children, like his father, Elon Musk himself does not seem to be a good father. Last month, Xavier Alexander Musk, 18 years old, Elon Musk’s son with his first wife Justine Wilson, filed a petition to change his name because he “does not want to be associated with his biological father in any way”.

Recently, The Wall Street Journal news agency published an article, citing close sources saying that billionaire Elon Musk had a “more than friends” relationship with Nicole Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google founder Sergey Brin, while Shanahan and Brin were still legally married. However, Elon Musk has denied all rumors and called the information published by The Wall Street Journal “complete nonsense”.
