Local Man Criticizes Son’s Parenting
Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk, recently criticized his son’s parenting skills in a podcast interview. He claimed Elon wasn’t a good father and hasn’t spent enough time with his children.
Errol specifically mentioned Elon and Justine’s first child, Nevada, who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). He suggested Nevada spent too much time with nannies.
He also commented on the large number of nannies employed by Elon and Justine, even after their divorce. Errol believed this created a strange environment for the children.
Elon and Justine were married from 2000 to 2008 and had six children together. Elon has since had additional children with other partners.
Both Elon and Justine have publicly discussed the devastating loss of Nevada. Elon has vehemently defended his grief against those who questioned it.
Justine detailed the tragic circumstances of Nevada’s death in a previous essay, describing holding her son as he passed.
This isn’t the first public disagreement between Errol and Elon. Elon has previously described his father as a “terrible human being” in interviews.
He alleged his father was capable of elaborate and malicious plans. While acknowledging physical violence in his early childhood, Elon stated it didn’t continue as he grew older.
