Flashback: Elon Musk's father confirms baby with stepdaughter

Elon Musk's estranged father Errol Musk has confirmed that he has welcomed a baby with his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout.

Errol - an entrepreneurial engineer and former emerald dealer who lives in South Africa where Elon was raised - married Jana's mother Heide when Jana was just four.

The couple were married for 18 years, and have two children together.

However, Errol, 72, said he didn't consider 30-year-old Jana as his stepdaughter because, despite marrying her mother when she was a small child, she was raised away from him for long periods of time, according to The Sunday Times.

Musk senior also suggested that it was "God's plan" that led him to having a child with Jana, who reportedly got in touch with him after splitting from her boyfriend.

So...her sister is also her stepdaughter now? ...or, is she her own aunt?

That's some Appalachian-level family tree shit there.

I'm pretty sure I read the Elon hasn't been in touch with his own father for many years. They had a falling out long ago and Elon has lived in the US for almost 30 years.

this is attributable to Elon Musk? It is king of like the 'attack' that he is from South Africa. So what? Did he choose to be born there?

Elon won't admit when he is wrong either. Guess he got that from his dad. Much like the Trumps.

Are you actually trying to use someone's father against them? No one is responsible for the actions of their parents or anyone else.

This sounds more like a "sins of the father" ridiculous religious argument. Hate Elon on his own all you want, but he was very clear about his father who he described as "a terrible human being... Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done."

Not sure what the point of this thread is

reproduce with humans--because some men don't care who or what they use to gain their own pleasure. At least "God" protects the sheep and horses (and dogs), I guess, albeit not the children.

Disgusting. And to the poster claiming any comment is projected on the son, I'm discussing the FATHER! The FATHER only. If anything I have sympathy for Elon having to deal with a father like that.
