Flashback: Elon Musk's father confirms baby with stepdaughter [View all]

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.
