ELON Musk’s estranged father has been accused of sexually abusing his family members in a disturbing new investigation.
The allegations against Errol Musk follow Elon publicly calling his father an “evil” and “terrible human being” in previous interviews.
Errol, 79, allegedly sexually abused five of his own children and stepchildren since 1993, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
He denied the allegations to the Times and told the outlet the claims are “false and nonsense in the extreme.”
Errol has not been charged or convicted of any sexual abuse.
He slammed the accusations as attempts from family members to get money from Elon.
The tech billionaire, 54, rarely speaks about his father.
Errol is accused of abusing five minors in South Africa and California, according to the Times, which cited police records and interviews with family members.
In 1993, Errol’s stepdaughter, who was 4 years old at the time, told her family he had touched her inappropriately at the family’s house.
Years later, she said she caught her stepfather sniffing her dirty underwear.
In 2023, Errol’s 5-year-old son said his dad had groped his behind.
Errol has denied each of the incidents.
A relative wrote a five-page letter to Elon, Errol’s oldest son, in 2010 and asked him to intervene in the alleged abuse.
“We really need your advice, help and guidance in these matters because we daily see these children suffer,” the letter said, according to the Times.
It’s unclear if Elon Musk read or responded to the plea.
In 2018, Errol had a child with his stepdaughter, who was an adult at this point.
The stepdaughter is 42 years younger than Errol. He raised her since she was 4 years old.
The news was a breaking point for some of Errol’s relationships with his family members, as he previously told The U.S. Sun that his daughters were “concerned” about the pregnancy.
In an email to the Times, Errol claimed he has a very close relationship with his son.
Elon didn’t return the outlet’s request for comment.
In 2017, Elon broke down in tears during an interview with Rolling Stone as he described his dad as “such a terrible human being.”
“You have no idea about how bad,” Elon said at the time.
