Elon Musk's father claims the billionaire 'hated' him for supporting Trump in 2016 and slammed him as 'evil

It's a far cry from Elon Musk's current political leanings

As the father of Elon Musk, Errol Musk has something of a tumultuous relationship with his son. Musk Sr. has frequently spoken out about their time together, while his son has also given the odd insight into his upbringing. When Joshua Rubin recently asked Errol whether Elon had been a good father on his Wide Awake Podcast, the former defiantly said, "No, he hasn't been a good dad," and said the children have spent too much time with nannies.

Not one to keep family politics a secret, Errol Musk has recently revealed more to Ukrainian-American interviewer DJ Vlad. As well as discussing the controversial romantic relationship between him and his own stepdaughter, Musk spoke about his son's former political stance and how he once had no love for Donald Trump.

Referring to a time not long before the 2016 Presidential Election when Trump won against Hillary Clinton, Errol explained how his sons Kimbal and Elon Musk confronted him over his support of the Republican leader. Elon ended up falling out with his father, as Errol explained it all went down during his 70th birthday celebrations. Over dinner, The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau reportedly asked Errol about his support for Trump.

With the room apparently laughing at Errol, he said: "He's [Trump] just like us...in my mind, he's doing the same kind of work I always did, property development, and he's much bigger than I've ever been.

“It's great to see somebody who's not a career politician doing this kind of thing."

With some coarse language, Errol Musk says the lunch came to a 'grizzly' end. After being left on his own, Errol says Kimbal and Elon came back to him and continued: "Elon said, 'Trump is evil', and so on.

“Very matter of fact, saying, 'Look he's evil, get it into your head.'"

Errol maintains that his sons left and it was never mentioned again. It seems ironic given Elon Musk's current position as the President's so-called 'First Buddy' and new role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Musk recently stole the limelight from the POTUS when he and his son hosted a press conference at the Oval Office.

Way back when, Elon Musk was vocally against Trump ahead of the 2016 election, telling CBS: "I feel a bit stronger that he is not the right guy. He doesn’t seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States."

Jump forward to 2025, DJ Vlad referred to Musk as Donald Trump's 'best friend'. A chuckling Errol said: "It's funny, it's weird, that's really weird."

These days, Elon Musk has gone as far as professing his 'love' for Mr. Trump, suggesting that time can heal (almost) all wounds.
