Elon Musk’s father Errol’s heartless claims about passing of Tesla founder’s son

Elon Musk’s controversial father Errol has cruelly claimed the Tesla founder’s first son, Nevada, spent ‘too much time’ in the care of nannies before he died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Errol made the claims on South African podcast Wide Awake, where he also said Elon ‘hasn’t been a good dad.’ ‘The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny,’ Errol said of Nevada, who died at just ten weeks old in 2002.

Nevada was Musk’s first child with his wife Justine. Errol said: ‘If Elon hears this he’s gonna shoot me or something, but anyway, that’s what I think.’ ‘They were too rich, [had] too many nannies… then he had five children with the same woman – five sons all brought up, each one had its own nanny. You following me? ‘When they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side and six on that side. So it was a really weird situation.’ Errol also alleged that Musk ‘never spent time with his kids.’
