Mean like Musk! Elon Musk’s dad Errol fat-shamed the world’s richest man in explosive new interview, compared him to brother Kimbal – and opts to drive a Mercedes and Bentley over Tesla
- Elon Musk’s South African father Errol has been subject to controversies, but he told his side of the story in a rare interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show
- When asked if he’s proud of his billionaire son, he responded ‘no’, and added that Elon is ‘frustrated with progress’ at SpaceX – but he’s all smiles for Kimbal, his ‘pride and joy’
Errol, for his part, slammed the comments by his world-famous son, saying he would readily help his children wherever he could, according to Rolling Stone. More recently, in a 20-minute interview on Australian radio station KIIS FM, Errol took shots at his son. Speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Errol downplayed his son’s success, spoke about how he believed he was behind in his career, and even bashed his son’s body.
Here’s all of the sordid details …
A family of achievers
In the interview, Errol responded to a question by presenter Jackie about whether he was proud of Elon with a firm “no”. He said they were a family that had “been doing a lot of things for a long time”. Referring to Elon’s success and the fact that he was the world’s richest man, Errol seemed unimpressed, saying as a family, “it’s not as if we suddenly started doing something”.
