Elon Musk’s Father on Whether Hes Proud of SpaceX Founder and Tesla CEO: No – Complex

Elon Musks father, Errol Musk, is making headlines again. This time, however, the headlines in question are not focused on reportedlyhaving children with a stepdaughter.

Over the weekend, Errol appeared on Australias The Kyle and Jackie O Show, with the hosts asking him about Elons accomplishments. At around the 1:43 mark in the video below, for example, Errol is asked if he is proud of Elon, to which a no is offered before the question is even finished being asked.

Pushed to clarify whether he is indeed not proud of Elon, Errol pointed to what he described as the larger familys assortment of accomplishments, including those he says precede Elons own.

No. I mean, we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time, he said. Its not as though we suddenly started doing something. So weve all been, you know, as a family all doing things from the very beginning and, um, so, I mean, the kids were traveling with me around the world when they were tiny. Theyve been doing pretty much very interesting things. Weve been down to the Amazon together, for example. Weve been to China, you know, long ago when it was quite difficult to get there.

In Errols opinion, Elonwhose brother Kimbal is a successful restaurateuris not as happy as hed like to be because he believes he is behind schedule.

Also broached during the conversation is the aforementioned stepdaughter development, headlines about which Errol responded to, in part, by saying the following: I was married to her mother for two years in the 90s. She was actually placed in foster care.

If you absolutely must subject yourself to it, the full interview can be heard below.
