Errol Musk, Elon Musk’s 79-year-old father, made headlines after it was revealed he fathered two children with his former stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout, in 2017 and 2019. Errol was married to Jana’s mother, Heide, in the 1990s when Jana was four, and they divorced in 2010. Years later, Jana, then 30, reconnected with Errol, leading to a romantic relationship. Errol described it as “God’s plan or nature’s plan,” but the revelation shocked social media, with many calling it “disgusting” and struggling to grasp the family dynamics.
Errol admitted that his other children with Heide find the situation “creepy” since Jana is their half-sister. He and Jana later separated due to their 42-year age gap, though he hinted at a possible reunion. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has publicly criticized his father, calling him a “terrible human being.” The controversy adds to Elon’s tumultuous year, including clashes with Donald Trump after briefly serving in his administration.
