Elon Musk's relationship with his father seems to be anything but easy; the billionaire is said to have once said of his father that he had committed ‘every crime imaginable’. However, if Errol Musk is to be believed, the dust seems to have settled, at least for the time being.

The two men seem to be talking to each other
Anyone familiar with Elon Musk's biography will perhaps understand why the Tesla co-owner doesn't just have warm words for his father. For example, he has children with Jana Bezuidenhout, the daughter of his second ex-wife, and was accused of being violent towards his first wife Maye, Elon's mother (both physically and mentally, according to Newsweek, although Errol Musk himself denies this).
However, the Daily Mail now reports that father and son do talk to each other and are interested in each other's lives. Errol Musk told the tabloid in an exclusive:
I spoke to Elon just earlier today. We talk a lot about family. Do you know? Who needs what?
Errol didn't let the tabloid in on too many details of their conversations, but he did say that he was not surprised Elon decided to venture into politics. He said:
If you've got any brains at all, then you support Trump.
Was it a surprise for me to see Elon step up and support Trump? No.
In the interview, he also opened up about his youngest son, Rush who is 7 years old. According to Elon's father, Rush, his 7-year-old son, is to be sent to China to take part in a gaming tournament. He revealed:
They say he will be the biggest thing in China. They say he's a prolific gamer and he's a champion.
He also took the opportunity to make a brief comparison between his oldest and youngest son, saying that Rush is 'smarter at seven' than Elon was.
The 79-year-old also had a lot to say about his son's love life.
Errol Musk has a clear opinion on Elon's blended family
By now, most people know that Elon Musk is a father of several children; however, not all of his children have the same mother. Errol seems to be no stranger to the mothers of his grandchildren, and so he has something to say about them too. He told Daily Mail what he thinks of Grimes, saying:
She's nice, an attractive girl in some ways ... but she's a bit crazy.
However, he seems to be very enthusiastic about Shivon Zilis, with whom Elon Musk has four children. He raves about the Neuralink employee in high praise:
I like her more than any other woman I've ever met with him. She's absolutely lovely.
Musk also made a very vague comment on the rumours Elon fathered yet another child with MAGA influence Ashley St Clair. He said:
I would find it very strange if a woman is saying she has had a child with Elon and telling people quite publicly about it. If it turns out not to be true, she would be a little crazy, don't you think?
In any case, he seems convinced that having a child with Elon is a great gift:
Any woman with any sense would be crazy to turn down the opportunity to have a child with Elon.
