The father of the billionaire owner of SpaceX was married for 18 years to the mother of his current girlfriend and helped raise who is now his partner. Elon Musk himself has defined his father as “a terrible human being”.
Errol Musk (76), father of the famous technology tycoon Elon Musk, confirmed that in 2019 he had a second daughter with Jana Bezuidenhout (35), who was his stepdaughter.
In conversation with The Sun, Errol Musk justified his new fatherhood with a curious phrase: “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.”
It should be noted that the man already had a son with Jana, named Elliot Rush, who was born in 2017.
In addition, in between, he had a baby with another woman, which is already three years old.
“It wasn’t planned,” he explained.
What does Elon Musk’s father do?
such as slogan ProfileErrol Musk is a wealthy South African engineer who married model Maye Halderman Musk in 1970, mother of Elon and his other two brothers Kimbal and Tosca. However, the relationship ended in 1979.
After divorcing, the father of the owner of Tesla married Heide Bezuidenhout, a young widow who already had two daughters from her previous marriage, one of them was Jana, who was only 4 years old when she moved in with the man.
As a result of this marriage, two other children were born to Errol, but he was also actively involved in raising his current girlfriend.
Nearly 20 years later, Musk Sr. and Bezuidenhout divorced. By 2017, the Musk family was enlarged and suffered strong internal conflicts when the news broke that Errol had had Elliot with Jana.
Elon, for example, was furious with his father for impregnating his stepsister and defined it as “a terrible human being” during an interview with Rolling Stone.
However, Errol ruled out being in a fight with his son Elon.
Errol and Jana’s relationship is rejected by the family
During the interview with The Sun, Errol stated that his family “doesn’t like” the relationship between him and Jana and that they “feel that it’s a little creepy regarding it, because she’s his sister, his half-sister.”
Meanwhile, the leader of the Musk surname does not live with Jana and her two children, since he explained that the great age difference between the two makes coexistence “impractical.”
“Eventually, if I’m still around, she might finish me off,” he mused.
He further added, “Any man who marries a younger woman, even if he feels high spirited, will be nice for a while, but there is a big gap and that gap is going to show.”
Regarding his youngest children, Errol assured that he would like them to live with him, but he said that the last time they went to visit him the children were beginning to make him “nervous”.
