Elon Musk’s Father Criticizes Son’s Parenting Amid New Baby Claims
Elon Musk is once again at the center of public debate—not over business or technology, but his role as a father.
Errol Musk, Elon’s father, recently shared candid thoughts on the Wide Awake podcast, stating, “No, he hasn’t been a good father,” and jokingly added, “If Elon hears this, he’s going to shoot me or something.”
The remark comes amid growing attention surrounding Musk’s expanding family and parenting style.
Just last week, conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair publicly claimed that Elon Musk is the father of her 5-month-old child.
She posted on X (formerly Twitter), “I had kept this information private to protect our child’s safety, but it has become evident that tabloid media will pursue this story regardless of the potential harm.”
St. Clair also noted that Musk has not responded to her efforts to contact him since the announcement.
This revelation has sparked fresh scrutiny, particularly after Musk made headlines for bringing his 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, to a recent Oval Office visit.
While Musk addressed political and tech issues, young X drew attention by picking his nose and whispering to former President Donald Trump.
The child’s mother, musician Grimes, responded on X: “He shouldn’t be in public like this… But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
Elon Musk, now reportedly a father of 13 children with four different women, has faced criticism not only from the public but also from family members.
His daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who legally distanced herself from Musk in 2022, stated this is the second time she’s learned of a new sibling through the media.
As discussions around privacy, parenthood, and public responsibility continue, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO remains publicly silent on the latest developments.
