Errol Musk publicly criticized his son, Elon Musk, for his parenting during a recent appearance on the “Wide Awake” podcast. This was shortly before writer Ashley St. Claire revealed she had given birth to a child fathered by Elon.
Errol claimed, “He wasn’t a good father. The first child spent a lot of time with nannies and died while in their care,” referring to Elon’s son, Nevada, who tragically passed away in 2002 at just 10 weeks old.
He further remarked on the wealth of the Musk family, stating, “They were very wealthy, too many nannies,” mentioning that Elon’s children—twins Griffin and Vivian and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian—each had their own nannies.
Errol emphasized the unusual situation of having twelve nannies in total when Elon and his ex-wife Justine separated. When asked if that indicated Elon wasn’t spending enough time with his children, he affirmed it.
The interview sparked widespread discussions on social media, with many condemning Errol’s remarks while noting his own controversial family dynamics.
Elon Musk’s dad, Errol Musk, drops some bombshells:
“Elon’s first child died in the care of a nanny.”
“No he hasn’t been a good dad.”
That’s saying something coming from a man who married his own stepdaughter.
