Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s 76-year-old father has announced he had a second unplanned kid with his own step-daughter, who is Elon’s step-sister, expanding the Musk family once more.
2019 marked three years since Errol Musk announced to The Sun that he had a daughter with Jana Bezuidenhout, age 35.
With Jana, the daughter of his second wife whom he had nurtured since she was four years old, Errol had his first kid, Elliot Rush, now five, who was similarly unplanned.
Only a few days prior, it was made public that Elon, the businessman’s son, had had twins with one of his executives, making them his eighth and ninth offspring overall.
Since Jana is 35 years old and “growing on,” Errol and Jana have separated. However, Errol hinted that Jana would move back in with him if he were still alive.
Although he stated that he would prefer for them to live with him, “the kids were starting to get on my nerves” the previous time they visited.
However, the 76-year-old insisted that the only reason humans are on Earth is to reproduce and would not rule out having any more kids.
Elon, 51, reportedly lost it at the stunning revelation and went “berserk” after learning that his father had fathered a child with his step-sister.
Errol claims he and his millionaire son have a good relationship, but Elon has previously called his engineer father “evil” and a “awful human being.”
Originally married to Jana’s mother Heide for 18 years, Errol was a South African electromechanical engineer who also enjoyed sailing boats and flying airplanes. The couple had two children together.
She “looks just like my other girls,” the South African says, even though he acknowledges he hasn’t run a paternity test on his newest child.
After the birth of Elliot Rush, Jana stayed with Errol for nearly 18 months, and it appears that during this time, she fell pregnant once more.
The old age lothario, however, remarked that Jana was not only one generation younger than he was—that was Heide—but two generations younger, and that he could not keep up with a woman who was 41 years younger than him.
When I was 45 and her mother was 25, we were married. She was most likely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Errol acknowledged that his four daughters, who considered Jana as a sibling, were astonished by the relationship and thought it was “weird.”
When Elliot was born, a source informed MailOnline that Errol had known Jana throughout her life. The family is now fragmented. Jana was just four years old when Errol wed her mother.
The Musks may, however, disprove the proverb that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Elon is furious with his father for siring several children with various mothers, but he has experience doing the same.
According to recent court records, the tech mogul secretly had twins in November with one of his top staffers, only weeks before he used a surrogate to have a kid with music artist Grimes.
Shivon Zilis, 36, the director of operations of Musk’s brain-machine interface business Neuralink, and the Tesla CEO are said to have given birth to twins.
With repeated divorces, including two breaks from the same lady he married twice, Musk now has nine known children with three separate women.
According to court filings, Musk and Zilis petitioned to have the twins’ names changed in April so that they would “have their father’s last name and incorporate their mother’s last name as part of their middle name.”
Just a few weeks later, in December, Musk and Claire Boucher, the musician known as Grimes, had their second kid through surrogacy. The twins were born in November.
A son named X A-12, or simply “X,” was born in May 2020. A daughter named Exa Dark Siderael, or simply “Y,” was delivered via surrogate in December 2021. Musk also has five children with his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson.
After the billionaire left behind a difficult childhood in South Africa, it is the most recent in Musk’s convoluted personal life.
Due to his tumultuous connection with his father and being badly tormented in school, Musk, who is attempting to acquire Twitter for $44 billion, struggled as a child.
He was once hospitalized as a result of his bullies pushing him down a flight of stairs because it got so nasty.
Musk has had a convoluted love life since relocating to the US, though, with three marriages, three divorces—two of them with the same woman—and seven kids from two long-term relationships.
He initially married Justine Wilson, now 49, in 2000. They were married and had six children together while both students at Queen’s University. In 2008, they divorced.
I no longer live with or wish to be associated to my biological father in any manner, shape, or form, according to court records filed in April by one of his sons with Justine, Xavier Musk, 18, who also requested a formal gender change from male to female and the removal of their last name.
After their breakup, Musk started dating British actress Talulah Riley.
Riley, now 36, initially married the Tesla architect in 2010 while still a virgin. Riley originally started dating Musk in 2008.
They separated in 2012, remarried, and then divorced once again in 2016. There were no children born to the marriage.
Musk allegedly chased actress Amber Heard for many years before dating her for a period of time in late 2016 and early 2017.
Later, Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp claimed that she had an affair with Musk while they were still married, although neither Heard nor Musk admitted to having one.
In April 2018, one month before they made their Met Gala red carpet appearance, Musk then started dating artist Grimes.
Then, in January 2020, she uploaded an Instagram photo of her growing baby bulge without a message to reveal that she was expecting their first child.
They then had their son, whom they named X A-12 but preferred to refer to simply as “X,” in May of the same year.
Just a few weeks after he gave birth to twins with Zilis, they then had their second kid via surrogate in December 2021. The baby girl they had was named Exa Dark Siderl.
