Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk says he’s not proud of his billionaire son, so who is he proud of?
Errol Musk who is Elon Musk’s Father, has said that he isn’t proud of his billionaire son because the whole Musk family has achieved “a lot of things for a long time”.
On Monday, Errol spoke on the ‘Kyle and Jackie O’s Show‘ on the Australian radio station KIIS FM in a 20-minute interview, in which he talked about the Tesla chief and the rest of the Musk family, including Elon’s younger brother, Kimbal. In the interview, Errol disgraced his billionaire son’s success and took a dig at his physical appearance.
“Your offspring is a genius. He’s worth so much money and has created so many things, you can’t take that away from him. Are you proud?” host Jackie O asked Errol.
To this, the 76-year-old replied, “No. You know, we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time, it’s not as if we suddenly started doing something.”
Father of Elon Musk told on the radio show that his children from his first wife Maye Musk – Elon, Tosca and Kimbal – had travelled around the globe with him since they were little kids, visiting places such as China and Amazon rainforest. “They’ve seen a lot of things, and we’ve done a lot of things together,” he said and added, “But Elon has in fact sort of really surpassed the mark.”
During the Radio interview, the 76 year old said that his billionaire son feels as he is running five years behind the schedule in his career. “He (Elon Musk) is frustrated with progress and it’s understandable,” the billionaire’s father stated. He added, “I know it sounds crazy, but we tend to think like that as a family. He’s 50 now and I still think of him as a little boy. But he’s 50, I mean that’s an old man.”
Further, Errol said that his 49-year-old son Kimbal Musk, Elon’s younger brother, is his “pride and joy”. He also told the radio show presenter that Kimbal was lucky in his marriage with Cristiana Wyly because they spend a lot of time together. He further said that he is worried about the SpaceX CEO not being able to find a partner who would give up a career for him.
Notably, Elon Musk has nine children with four different women but is currently single. Errol said, “He (Elon) has to find a woman to give up what she’s doing, and that’s not easy.”
