Errol Musk says Tesla billionaire is a bad dad: ‘If Elon hears this, he's going to shoot me'
Errol Musk called his son a bad father who hasn't been present for his many children.
The billionaire SpaceX and Tesla CEO and his father have had a tasty relationship over the years. Elon Musk has said in the past that his father had done 'almost every evil thing you can possibly think of.' Now, his father is taking the newest shot between the two.
On a recent Wide Awake podcast episode, when Errol was asked if his son was a good father, he didn't hold back.
'No, he hasn't been a good father. The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny. If Elon hears this, he's going to shoot me or something,' said Errol.
Elon's first child, Nevada Alexander, died at the age of 10 weeks from Sudden Death Syndrome.
The interview was highlighted by The Daily Beast.
'Then he had five children, each one had their own nanny. It was a weird situation. He didn't spend enough time with them,' Errol added.
Errol, who had Elon with Maye Musk in 1971, said the setup had some odd consequences for Elon's and his brother Kimball's children.
'The result is the boys and Kimball's two boys grew up not able to cross a street,' said Errol. 'Even the street outside, my daughters would say 'Dad, you won't believe it. Elon's kids and Kimball's boys, they can't cross the road. We have to hold their hands across the road when they're like 14 years old, can't cross the road.''
The South African former engineer and emerald dealer then made the bizarre claim that the upbringing was the reason one of Kimball's children and one of Elon's are transgender.
'Elon's got to deal with it. It's, it's a bit worrying,' said Errol.
Elon's estranged trans daughter, Vivian Wilson, has emerged as a strong critic of her father. The 20-year-old has distanced herself after becoming an adult. Her mother, Justine Musk, has six children with Elon.
Elon Musk is the father of 12 children, bringing his young son X as he goes about his business in Washington, D.C. including during a press conference in the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump.
Elon appears to be treating the White House as his own personal daycare, bringing three of his children, X, Azure, and Strider, to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House Thursday. Elon's ex-wife, musician Grimes, shared her displeasure with X's newfound exposure, especially at the press conference.
'He should not be in public like this,' she wrote on Musk's social media platform X.
The billionaire and Grimes have two other children: Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus.
In November 2021, Elon had twins, Strider and Azure, with the director of his company Neuralink, Shivon Zilis. They had another child in 2024.

Elon Musk's Estranged Daughter Seemingly Relishes Trump Fallout: 'Such Beauty In Life'
Elon Musk's estranged daughter Vivian Wilson seems to be relishing the public fallout between her father and President Donald Trump — understandably so, as the tech billionaire previously stated that Wilson is 'dead' to him for coming out as trans and legally changing her name. Wilson's supposed glee at the ongoing political feud kicked off this week in the form of two Instagram posts that multiplemediaoutlets captured before they expired for public viewing. 'I do not want to comment. I love being proven right,' said Wilson in the first clip Thursday through laughter, per People. The second post — accompanied by a Chase Icon song titled 'Job Application'— included a screenshot of a Threads postin which Wilson simply wrote, 'Such beauty in life.' Musk, the CEO of Tesla, spent millions to help fuel Trump's reelection, but began criticizing the president last month over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates would add $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next 10 years. The feud reached a peak Thursday when Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the reason the Jeffrey Epstein files haven't been released is because Trump is in them. Epstein, a financier, died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Musk has since deleted his post, which prompted colorful reactions from critics — including his daughter. Wilson has long distanced herself from her father. The 21-year-old changed her legal name in 2022, opting for the surname of her mother Justine Wilson, and is one of 14 known children Musk has had with four different women. Musk said in 2024 that his transgender daughter was 'killed by the woke mind virus.' Wilson responded at the time by noting she looks 'pretty good for a dead bitch,' and hasn't relented against Musk since. She has not only called him a 'serial adulterer' and fake Christian, but slammed his 'Nazi salute shit' after Musk's appearance at Trump's inauguration event in January.

Bill Maher mocks Dems for trying to find ‘their Joe Rogan,' suggests figuring out how they lost him
'Real Time' host Bill Maher mocked the Democratic Party's attempt to find 'their Joe Rogan,' pointing out the irony that the podcaster had leaned left until he became disillusioned with the party. The host explained, 'One idea that's getting a lot of attention is the Dems need to find their Joe Rogan, a liberal Joe Rogan.' Maher argued that rather than 'conjuring up a new Joe Rogan,' Democrats should be asking themselves how they lost him in the first place. Advertisement Rogan previously endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., in the 2020 election. It wasn't until 2024 that Rogan publicly endorsed President Donald Trump. The 'Real Time' host lampooned the idea that the real reason why former Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election is because 'Republicans have a podcast.' 'Okay, maybe. Or, you could consider this,' Maher jeered. 'Instead of conjuring up a new Joe Rogan, ask yourself why you lost the old one, because he used to be on your side.' In 2024, regarding the Democratic desire to find its own Rogan, the podcaster said, 'They had me.' 'I was on their side,' he added. Advertisement Maher noted that he's watched the political evolution of both Rogan and Musk and their party affiliations didn't switch 'overnight.' Youtube/Real Time with Bill Maher Maher compared Rogan's political transformation to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who was also a liberal who ended up being 'driven to the other camp by bad attitudes and bad ideas.' Maher noted that he's watched the political evolution of both Rogan and Musk and their party affiliations didn't switch 'overnight.' Maher referenced a 2022 post on then-Twitter from Elon Musk in which he shared a chart depicting his feeling that the Democratic Party had moved too far to the left for him, rather than his ideology moving to the right. Advertisement Rogan previously endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., in the 2020 election. Rogan said that Democrats have moved so far that it 'left a basically liberal centrist like him — now labeled a conservative,' adding that he related to Musk's post. Maher also highlighted attempts by the left to cancel Rogan and Musk as a key reason they abandoned the party. Advertisement 'They tried real hard to cancel Rogan a few years ago — and when Elon hosted 'Saturday Night Live' in 2021, well before he was a Trumper — some of the cast gave him the cold shoulder for the sin of being rich,' he recalled. 'You think people don't remember when you do this s— to them?' The late-night host asserted that while he's never left the party, Democrats need to work hard to get 'all the guys in America like Joe and Elon' back on their side, but assured them that it's still possible.

From film sets to sports stadiums, Bollywood actors are changing the game
When it comes to ambition, Indian film stars are no strangers to reinvention. And now, a growing number of them are making headlines not for their roles in films, but for their strategic forays into the high-stakes world of professional sport. This isn't about a passing passion or publicity stunt — it's a savvy business decision that's reshaping how India consumes both entertainment and sport. Of course, it helps that today's sports presentation is slicker than ever before. Anchors, presenters, and commentators have evolved into celebrities in their own right. Nikita Anand, who first made her mark as Miss India Universe and an actor, has emerged as the most articulate and celebrated presenter in Indian sports broadcasting. She has been a part of major shows like the Indian Super League on Star Sports and Cup Tak on Star News. Her work consistently garners appreciation on Instagram, where fans praise not just her fluency but also the emotional intelligence she brings to her presentation. 'Presenting sport isn't just about stats and scores,' she says. 'It's about capturing the moment, connecting with the energy, and giving the audience something real to hold on to.' Which is exactly what India's actors-turned-sports-investors are doing. Whether it's a stadium full of fans or a streaming audience at home, they're building experiences. They're building brands. And more than anything, they're betting on the future of Indian sport. This shift has taken centre stage over the past decade. It began, unmistakably, with the Indian Premier League. Cricket has always been more than just a game in India — it's religion, celebration, and business rolled into one. When Shah Rukh Khan picked up ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2008, alongside Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, it wasn't just a glitzy endorsement. It was a business masterstroke. 'Sport is no longer operating in a silo. It's entertainment, it's performance, and it's powerful storytelling. Those familiar with cinema instinctively understand these elements — which is why the connection with sport comes so naturally,' says Nikita. Take Preity Zinta, who made headlines as the co-owner of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). Or Shilpa Shetty, whose involvement with Rajasthan Royals gave the team an extra sheen of stardust in the early IPL seasons. Their investment was financial, sure, but equally emotional and promotional — the fans followed, and so did the sponsors. But cricket is only one chapter. The new story is being written in football, kabaddi, and beyond. Abhishek Bachchan jumped into the action with Jaipur Pink Panthers in the Pro Kabaddi League. John Abraham made his move with NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League, showing a genuine commitment to building football in a region rich in sporting potential. Ranbir Kapoor took co-ownership of Mumbai City FC, which has gone on to make impressive strides on the pitch and off it. 'There's real involvement here — participating in team decisions, engaging with strategy, meeting fans, and promoting sports at the grassroots. It's star power and substance,' Nikita explains. What's emerging is a pattern. Indian actors are no longer waiting for scripts — they're writing their own, and sport is proving to be an exciting new plotline. The shift is being driven by more than just passion. Sport is one of India's fastest-growing industries. With a young population, increasing urbanisation, and rising media consumption, the commercial upside is vast. Ticket sales, merchandise, broadcasting rights, streaming content — it's a complete entertainment ecosystem. 'Understanding audience psychology plays a huge role — knowing how to build loyalty, how to sell a moment, and how to turn emotion into energy. That's what great sport is all about too. The synergy is undeniable,' adds Nikita. From cricket fields to kabaddi courts, from football turf to business boardrooms, these stars are stepping into new arenas. Not to perform, but to participate — to shape what comes next. As Nikita Anand puts it, 'The stage has changed, but the showmanship, the intent and drive remain.' And now, it's game on.
