It was recently announced that Elon Musk has been the father of nine since 2021. But it’s not just the Tesla boss himself who diligently takes care of the offspring, his 76-year-old father is also busy. As he now admits, he has a secret child with his 35-year-old stepdaughter. It’s the seventh overall.
Elon Musk made headlines last week when it was announced that he became a father again in November 2021. The twins’ mother works as an executive at brain chip start-up Neuralink, a company owned by the Tesla boss, which makes things a bit precarious. Elon Musk and singer Grimes’ second baby was also born shortly after the twins. The 51-year-old now has nine children in total.
But Elon isn’t the only Musk with a tremendous reproductive drive. His father Errol Musk is 76 years old, and as he revealed in an interview with The Sun, he is also the father of a whole family of children. The last was born three years ago. Secretly. The girl’s mother is Jana Bezuidenhout, the daughter of one of his ex-girlfriends. The two already have a five-year-old son with son Elliot, Musk said the second child was not planned.
Errol Musk met Jana Bezuidenhout when he met Jana’s mother Heide after divorcing Elon’s mother Maye. At that time the girl was only four years old. Errol and Heide had a relationship for 18 years and also had two more children. It is unclear when Errol Musk and his stepdaughter got together. In the meantime, however, they probably live separately, as the senior also explains in the interview. The reason for the separation was, among other things, the big age difference, but you feel “a lot of affection” for each other.
Altogether, Errol Musk has seven children, and it doesn’t seem impossible that there will be more. “We are only there on earth to multiply,” believes the sprightly pensioner. His son has a very similar opinion, commenting on the twin news that he wanted to do something about the “threatening underpopulation”. However, it is unlikely that he was inspired by his dad when it came to family planning. The two are said to have had no contact for a long time. Elon Musk is said to have even called Errol “evil” and a “terrible human being”. Today’s billionaire always emphasized that he never got a cent from his father and that he worked for everything himself.
