Errol Musk is sharing his candid thoughts on son Elon MuskElon Musk’s parenting.

“He hasn’t been a good dad,” Errol, 79, said on the Wednesday, February 12, episode of the “Wide Awake” podcast. “They were too rich, too many nannies. Then he had five children with the same woman, five sons all brought up. Each one had its own nanny.”

Elon, 53, and his ex-wife, Justine Wilson, welcomed their first child — a baby boy named Nevada — in 2002. He died at 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

“There is nothing worse than losing a child,” Elon wrote in a May 2018 email. “My firstborn son died in my arms. I felt his heartbeat.”

The couple went on to welcome twins Griffin and Vivian, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 19, before divorcing in 2008.

“When they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side, six on that side,” Errol claimed, referring to the number of childcare workers both Musk and his ex had after their marriage. “It was really a weird situation.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Elon’s team for comment.

When asked how he feels about Elon’s past partners, Errol said, “Well, fathers are not terribly interested in any of their children’s husbands or wives more or less unless they go out of their way.”

After his romantic relationship with Wilson came to an end, Elon welcomed three children — son X AE A-XII, 4, daughter Exa, 3, and son Techno, 2 — with his ex, Grimes.

Court documents obtained by Insider in July 2022 also revealed that Elon and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis welcomed twins in November 2021, weeks before Exa was born.

Earlier this month, author Ashley St. Clair claimed that she had welcomed a baby with Elon towards the end of 2024 — allegedly his 13th child.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world,” she wrote via X on Friday, February 14. “Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”

A rep for the author later claimed that Elon and St. Clair are “privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child.”

“We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation,” Brian Glicklich said in a statement shared via X on Saturday, February 15.” Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

Musk has not publicly acknowledged or commented on St. Claire’s claims.
