Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has just admitted that he fathered a secret child with his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout back in 2019. The child is apparently the second he has had with Bezuidenhout, the first coming in 2017. She was just four years old when Errol Musk became her step father, and there is a 41 year age gap between the pair.

Errol, an affluent South African engineer and dad to the richest man in the world, proclaimed in response to his newest child that, “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.” The 76 year old has certainly lived by that maxim, fathering at least seven children with at least three women, and has stated that he wouldn’t be surprised if he has more he doesn’t know about. He has also said he would be open to having more.


 

While Elon Musk openly dislikes his father, and has called him a “terrible human being,” he seems to have inherited his dad’s affinity for procreation. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has ten children of his own with three different mothers, recently fathering secret twins with a project director for his Neuralink company, who were born just weeks before a baby girl with his then partner Canadian musician Grimes. He has also stated that he thinks, “one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birth rate and the rapidly declining birthrate," and has tweeted that he is, “Doing [his] best to help the underpopulation crisis.”




 

While Errol Musk says that he and Jana Bezuidenhout are no longer living together because of their age gap, he stated that the family does come to his home in South Africa, and that, “Eventually if I’m still around, she might wind up back with me.” 


The internet is understandably troubled by this discovery.
