Elon Musk’s Dad Errol Voices Concerns About Parenting
Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk, recently shared his candid thoughts on his son’s parenting skills. In a revealing interview on the “Wide Awake” podcast, Errol, 79, expressed concerns about Elon’s parenting style, stating, “He hasn’t been a good dad.” He attributed this to their family’s wealth and the abundance of nannies raising their children.
Elon Musk, 53, and his ex-wife, Justine Wilson, faced a tragic loss when their first child, Nevada, died at 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Elon himself described the heart-wrenching experience in a May 2018 email, highlighting the profound pain of losing a child.
The couple went on to welcome twins Griffin and Vivian, now 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, now 19, before their divorce in 2008. Errol recounted a peculiar situation post-divorce, noting the significant number of nannies involved with the children’s care on both sides.
Following his split from Wilson, Elon Musk expanded his family further. He welcomed three children – X AE A-XII, 4, Exa, 3, and Techno, 2 – with his ex-partner, Grimes. Court documents later revealed that Elon and Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink, had twins in November 2021, shortly before Exa’s birth.
Recently, author Ashley St. Clair made headlines by revealing that she had a child with Elon towards the end of 2024, potentially making Elon a father of 13 children. Despite this revelation, Elon has not publicly acknowledged or commented on St. Clair’s claims.
A representative for St. Clair emphasized that the parties are privately working on an agreement regarding the child. The statement urged Elon to publicly recognize his parental role, emphasizing the importance of clarity for the child’s well-being and security.
This interview sheds light on the personal dynamics within Elon Musk’s family and raises questions about his parenting decisions and family relationships. As the controversy continues to unfold, the public awaits Elon’s response to the various claims and revelations regarding his expanding family.
