Errol Musk criticizes his son Elon’s parenting while rumors of a 13th child spread, joking, “Elon’s gonna shoot me for saying this.”
Errol Musk, the father of billionaire Elon Musk, has recently shared his thoughts on his son’s parenting.
His comments come at a time when rumors are swirling about Elon potentially having a 13th child.
During an appearance on the “Wide Awake” podcast, Errol did not hold back in his criticism of Elon’s fathering skills.
Elon Musk’s dad slams the billionaire over his parenting skills amid rumors of 13th child
In a clip that surfaced on TikTok, Errol, who is 79 years old, expressed his belief that Elon has not been a good father.
He recalled the tragic story of Elon’s first son, Nevada, who died at just 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Errol mentioned that Nevada “died in the care of a nanny,” implying that the use of nannies might have contributed to the situation.
Errol stated, “The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny.”
His words suggest that he feels wealthy families, like Elon’s, sometimes rely too heavily on hired help instead of being present as parents.
Errol criticized the family’s reliance on nannies.
Errol also reflected on the family dynamics after Elon’s divorce from his first wife, Justine Wilson.
He pointed out that after their split, each of Elon’s five living children had two nannies.
He described this arrangement as “a weird situation.”
According to Errol, when Elon and Justine divorced in 2008, there were six nannies on each side, which he found to be unusual.
Errol admitted, “Elon’s gonna shoot me for saying this, but that’s what I think. That’s no good. They were too rich, too many nannies.”
When asked if Elon spent enough time with his children, Errol agreed that he did not.
Social media reactions
Errol’s comments have sparked discussions online, with many people weighing in on the situation.
Some have pointed out the irony in Errol’s statements, given that he himself has a complicated parenting history.
For example, Errol shares a child with his former stepdaughter, which has raised eyebrows and prompted criticisms of his parenting credibility.
One user said: Children are simply commodities to a lot of these wealthy billionaires.
This is a man that uses his money to control people, he bought his way into the White House, nothing about him surprises me,
however the apple does not fall far from the tree, I believe certain behavioral traits are learned.
The second user wrote: I’m reading a Musk biography. His dad is not one to give parenting advice
The third user commented: When Elon and Trump break up it’s going to be EPIC.
Another user added: The right went wild when Joe didn’t acknowledge a grandkid, lets hear the same for Elon
