Ever since Elon Musk was thrown into the limelight, the private life of the Musk family has never really been that private.
From the tragic death of Elon's first child to his tangled relationships with the likes of Amber Heard and Grimes, there's also the wider Musk family like Kimbal Musk saying he had a 'violent' childhood with his brother.
Elon's mother, Maye, was cautioned for encouraging Republicans to commit voter fraud in the 2024 elections, while Errol Musk is never far away from the headlines.

Errol Musk has been in the news recently, especially following a series of interviews with DJ Vlad and the Wide Awake Podcast.
Elon's father recently spoke out about the situation where he fathered two children with his own stepdaughter, and despite their 42-year age difference, he gave a defiant response of, “Show me the rules."
He's also discussed the claims that Elon has become a father for the 13th time, with MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair saying she secretly gave birth five months ago.

Never one to hold back, Errol has now opened up on his tumultuous relationship with his oldest child, telling Joshua Rubin on the Wide Awake Podcast what he thinks bout Elon's parenting.
When asked if he thinks Elon has been a good father to his (potentially) 13 children, Errol mused: "No, he hasn’t been a good dad. The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny.
"Now what I'm saying, if Elon hears this, he's going to shoot me or something, but anyway, that's what I think."
He's referring to Elon's first son, Nevada, who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at the age of just 10 weeks in 2002.
Continuing to question Elon's parenting style, Errol continued: "Then he had five children with the same woman. Five sons, all brought up, each one had its own nanny...when they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side and six on that side, so it was really a weird situation."

Errol adds that by giving the kids nannies, they couldn't even cross the road at the age of 14.
He admits that while he hasn't spent a lot of time with Elon's children, he says they were "very nice and smart and very pleasant."
The Musk patriarch also goes on to suggest that the fact Elon and Kimbal's eldest children are transgender is a result of their fathers not spending enough time with them. Briefly discussing their transition, Errol called it "bullsh*t." He concluded: "I don't know what to do about that, Elon's gotta deal with it."
Elon and Errol have been through their ups and downs over the years, but something that tells us discussing the death of his grandson isn't going to do the latter any favors with the world's richest man.
