In a bombshell that rocks the Musk dynasty, Errol Musk – father of Tesla titan Elon Musk – is under fire for alleged sexual abuse spanning decades, with five of his children accusing him of horrific molestation in California and South Africa. Court docs, police reports, and family interviews unearthed by The New York Times paint a chilling picture: From groping a four-year-old daughter in 1993 to abusing two more kids and a stepson, Errol’s twisted legacy includes fathering a child with one victim years after her parents’ divorce. As three police probes loom (two closed, one unresolved), the 77-year-old engineer denies it all as a “money grab” from Elon’s fortune – but with no convictions yet, this family feud could shatter the billionaire’s empire. Is Errol a monster hiding behind wealth, or a victim of greedy kin? The truth is unraveling – and it’s uglier than fiction.
The Horrifying Allegations: Decades of Abuse Across Continents
Errol Musk, the South African-born electromechanical engineer and father of 11 (at least nine biological kids and two stepchildren), faces a torrent of accusations from five children, per explosive docs obtained by The New York Times on September 23. The claims span his homes in California and his native South Africa, where he still resides.
The nightmare began in 1993: Errol’s then-four-year-old daughter, Jana Bezuidenhout (from his first marriage), allegedly confided to family that her father had “touched” her inappropriately. Fast-forward to 2004: Errol divorced Jana’s mother, Heide – only to spark outrage by welcoming a child with Jana herself years later. In a 2018 interview, Errol brazenly confirmed the incestuous pairing, calling it a “mistake” but defending the resulting grandchild. Family sources now link this to the early abuse, claiming it set a pattern of exploitation.
The allegations don’t stop there. Relatives accuse Errol of abusing two more daughters and a stepson, with details emerging from interviews with social workers and court filings. The most recent bombshell? In 2023, Errol’s then-five-year-old son reported being groped by his father, prompting family and social worker intervention. “These are not isolated incidents – it’s a lifetime of trauma,” a source close to the family told the Times, highlighting Errol’s “extreme” behavior toward vulnerable kids.
Police Probes and Unresolved Shadows: Three Investigations, Zero Convictions – Yet
Law enforcement has circled Errol multiple times: Three separate probes launched in California and South Africa, based on victim statements and evidence. Two inquiries fizzled without charges – one due to insufficient proof, the other quietly dropped. The third? Status unknown, leaving a cloud of suspicion. No arrests, no trials – but the reports scream systemic failure. “Police took statements, but nothing stuck,” the Times notes, citing jurisdictional hurdles across borders.
Errol’s sprawling family – from ex-wives like Maye Musk (Elon’s mom) to a rotating cast of partners – adds layers of chaos. He’s fathered kids with multiple women post-divorces, including two with a former stepdaughter in 2017 and 2019. Social workers flagged “red flags” in 2023, but Errol walked free. Victims’ advocates rage: “Money and connections shield predators – this is why survivors stay silent.”
Errol’s Fierce Denial: “False Nonsense” – Blames Greedy Family Plotting Against Elon
Errol Musk isn’t backing down, slamming the claims as “made up by family members trying to get money from Elon by putting the children up to say false things.” In a statement to the Times, he called the reports “nonsense in the extreme,” insisting zero wrongdoing. “I’ve never abused anyone – this is a smear for cash,” he fumed, pointing to his estranged kids’ alleged motives tied to Elon’s $250B+ empire.
Elon? Silent so far. The Tesla/SpaceX mogul has long distanced himself from his dad, once calling their relationship “complicated” and Errol “evil.” In 2022, Elon tweeted: “My dad is a total [expletive] – cut him out years ago.” E! News reached out to both for comment – crickets. Family insiders whisper Errol’s denial rings hollow: “He’s always played the victim while hurting the innocent.”
Public Outrage and Musk Legacy Taint: “Sickening” – Will Elon Cut Ties for Good?
The internet’s erupting: #ErrolMusk trends with horror stories and calls for justice. “Elon’s dad a pedo? This family’s cursed,” one viral tweet blasts. Fans of the Musk mythos – from Mars dreams to EV revolutions – reel: “If true, it poisons everything.” Abuse survivors’ groups amplify: “No conviction doesn’t mean innocent – protect the kids!”
Errol’s history? A serial entrepreneur with engineering creds, but whispers of volatility (he once owned an emerald mine). His 2022 book A Groovy South African Guide to… downplayed family strife, but now it’s fuel for skeptics. With nine+ kids scattered globally, more stories could surface – especially if Elon’s wealth is the lure.
This scandal’s seismic: Does it drag Elon down, or force a clean break? Errol’s empire of denial crumbles – but for victims, justice delayed is justice denied.
