In an interaction on August 1, 2022, on Kyle and Jackie O Show, on Australian Radio, one of the hosts quizzed 'Your offspring is a genius. He's worth so much money and has created so many things, you can't take that away from him. Are you proud?'
Well, the answer to this question should have naturally been affirmative, but it seems Errol doesn’t approve of Elon’s genius and had a shocking take over the same.
Errol responded, "No. You know, we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time, it's not as if we suddenly started doing something'".
The Tesla Chief’s father went on to mention that his children have been doing ‘interesting things' for a long time and he never once received a handout from his billionaire son. He shared that it was Elon’s younger brother Kimbal who was his ‘pride and joy’.
Shocking, isn’t it? This family and their relationships just continue to get complicated.
Sr. Musk also went on to clarify that Kimbal was a billionaire himself, although not nearly as rich as Elon, the world’s richest man.
He continued talking about Elon as he said, “He’s disappointed with the progress and understandably so.” Errol shared that his billionaire son couldn’t be happier with his success and said he feels as if he’s running five years behind schedule, even suggesting he may be an underachiever.
“I know it sounds crazy, but we tend to think that as a family. Now he is 50 and I still think of him as a little boy. But he’s 50, I mean he’s an old man,” added Errol who was quoted by Meaww as saying.
“He is frustrated with progress and it’s understandable,” he said.
“I know it sounds crazy, but we tend to think like that as a family. He’s 50 now and I still think of him as a little boy. But he’s 50, I mean that’s an old man.”
Last month, Elon Musk’s dad Errol has finally revealed he sired a secret second love child with his glamorous stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout. Sr. Musk, 76, welcomed the baby with Jana, 35, in 2019 - but confirmed the news on Wednesday, bragging to The Sun.
