Five of Elon Musk’s Siblings Accuse Their Father of Sexual Abuse

Errol Musk is facing new allegations. 

Elon Musk’s estranged father has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren, according to documents obtained by The New York Times Sept. 23.

Errol, 79, was allegedly sexually abusing his children in both California and South Africa, where Errol lives and where Elon was born, per the police and court reports, as well as interviews with family members and social workers, obtained by the outlet. (In response to allegations, Errol told the New York Times in a statement published Sept. 23 that “the reports are false and nonsense in the extreme.”)

The docs alleged that the earliest incident took place in 1993, when the businessman’s then 4-year-old stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout allegedly told family members that he had touched her. Ten years later, she said she caught Errol sniffing her dirty underwear, according to The New York Times. As previously reported, Errol shared in 2018 that he and Jana had welcomed a child together years after he had divorced her mother Heide Bezuidenhout in 2004. 

Errol has at least nine children and two stepchildren and, in addition to Heide, was previously married to Maye Haldeman and Sue Musk.
