Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk, urged the public to “ignore” his son’s controversial online comments
n response, the PM reportedly said that Elon was “desperate for attention” and urged him to stop spreading “lies” and “whipping up intimidation.”
As a result, Errol encouraged the public to disregard his son’s online messages. However, he also criticized the UK, describing it as “draconian”.
When discussing his son’s interest in UK politics, Errol told LBC: “I mean, he’s just a person.
“The fact that he has money or something, he’s a billionaire or something to that effect.
“I mean, hundreds of thousands of people are tweeting the same things or saying the same things as he is.
“So I wouldn’t just because he’s a person that stands out more that they can knock him or just don’t listen to him, that’s all.
Responding to the tech billionaire’s criticism of United Kingdom Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Errol downplayed his son’s influence
“I’d say don’t worry about it. Tell him to get lost.”
The South African man went on to defend his son’s interest in UK politics by citing his deep ties to England, including childhood visits and milestone celebrations.
This comes after Errol recently spoke about his 53-year-old son’s pronatalist beliefs, which emphasize the idea that population growth is humanity’s most important objective.
Elon’s outspoken advocacy for pronatalism has sparked debate as he has been frequently warning of a global population decline on social media.
“Population collapse is coming… Earth is almost empty of humans,” the richest man in the world wrote recently on social media.
“Instead of teaching fear of pregnancy we should teach fear of childlessness,” he added.
Errol called Elon “just a person” and encouraged people to dismiss his remarks
Elon has 11 living children with three women. With his first wife, Justine Musk, he has six children: twins Griffin and Vivian, aged 19, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, aged 17.
He also has three children with musician Grimes: son X Æ A-12, aged three, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl (“Y”), aged two, and a third child, Techno Mechanicus (“Tau”), whose age is not publicly known.
Additionally, the businessman shares twins, now aged one, with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive.
