New York: Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk has admitted to having a “secret” second child with his 35-year-old stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout.
“The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce,” justifies Elon Musk’s 76-year-old father Errol Musk And he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of having more children in the future, saying “If I could have another child, I would. I can’t see any reason not to.”
Apparently, Errol and 35-year-old Jana welcomed the child back in 2019 — but only confirmed the news on Wednesday, bragging to the Sun. The two already have a 5-year-old boy, Elliot Rush, born in 2017.
Errol further stated that Jana’s pregnancy was “unplanned” and currently, they are no longer living together. “It’s not practical. She’s 35,” Errol said adding, “Eventually if I’m still around, she might wind up back with me.”
He added: “Any man who marries a [younger] woman, even if you feel very sprightly, it’s going to be nice for a while, but there’s a big gap … and that gap is going to show itself.”
However, Jana and the two children often come to visit Errol. “They spent a few days here about six months ago. And the kids were starting to get on my nerves,” he candidly stated. “Then I miss them as soon as they have gone.”
Meanwhile, the rest of the Musk family is not comfortable with the relationship. “They still don’t like it ..they still feel a bit creepy about it, because she’s their sister. Their half-sister.” Errol said when asked about how his family reacted to the shocking pregnancy news.
Elon, meanwhile, doesn’t share a great rapport with his father. Earlier in an interview, Elon described his dad as a “terrible human being”
Errol married model Maye Haldeman Musk in 1970, with whom he had three children: Elon, Kimbal and Tosca. The couple split in 1979, before Errol went on to wed Heide Bezuidenhout, a young widow who already had two children, including Jana.
