Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren over three decades, according to a New York Times investigation. The allegations span from 1993 to 2023 and involve abuse that reportedly took place in both South Africa and California.
The investigation found that these accusations are a major reason behind the long-standing rift between the tech billionaire and his 79-year-old father. Family members have repeatedly reached out to Elon Musk for help, with some relatives sending him detailed letters asking him to step in and protect the children involved.
