Errol Musk, father of billionaire Elon Musk, has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993.
Several family members have made allegations, leading to multiple police investigations, though none resulted in charges.
Errol denies the claims, while Elon has spoken of a deeply troubled relationship with his father.

Errol Musk has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993, according to a New York Times report earlier this week. Reports suggest that these allegations could be the reason for the bad blood between the 79-year-old and his tech billionaire son, Elon Musk.

Errol, who has been married three times and has at least nine children, denied the allegations when asked for comment by The Guardian.

The New York Times said Elon Musk did not respond to the publication’s requests for comment regarding the accusations against his father.

Judging from court records, personal correspondence, social workers, and interviews with family members, the publication reported that the earliest accusation against Errol Musk was in 1993, when his four-year-old stepdaughter told relatives he had touched her at the family house.

A decade later, the stepdaughter said she caught him sniffing her dirty underwear. The Times added that some family members have also accused him of abusing two of his daughters and a stepson.

Three separate law enforcement investigations were reportedly opened, citing police and court records, as well as family members’ accounts. Two of the inquiries ended without action, while it remains unclear what happened in the third.

In 2017, Elon Musk described a difficult relationship with his father on the rare occasion when he commented on him. He told media outlets that his father had done “almost every evil thing you could possibly think of.”
