Elon Musk's Father Accused of Child Sexual Abuse

Source: The New York Times

The family’s troubles have entangled Elon Musk in a painful three-decade multigenerational saga that continues to trail him. The fallout has kept the 54-year-old mogul tethered to South Africa, where he was born and where Errol Musk lives, even as he has built a business empire in the United States and briefly ascended to political power as a close adviser to President Trump.

The allegations against Errol Musk involve five of his children and stepchildren, whom he was accused of abusing in South Africa and California, according to police and court records, personal correspondence, social workers and interviews with family members.

The earliest accusation was in 1993 when Errol Musk’s stepdaughter, then 4 years old, told relatives he had touched her at the family house. A decade later, the stepdaughter said she caught him sniffing her dirty underwear. Some family members have also accused Errol Musk of abusing two of his daughters and a stepson. And as recently as 2023, family members and a social worker attempted to intervene after his then 5-year-old son said his father had groped his buttocks.

Elon sent him away from California. The "investigation" frames that as keeping him away from the stepchildren, but they end up going back to South Africa, too. Seems more likely an attempt to get him to evade more serious investigation in California than would happen to him in South Africa, where he can pay everybody off.

More sickos.

Sexual abuse is often generational, passed down father to son.
Have Elon's children been sexually assaulted by Elon or his father?

Explains Elon's drug use and raging all the time.
He was most likely an abused kid.

He destroyed the entire US federal workforce to get
back at his father.
