Errol Musk disses his famous, wealthy offspring Elon
Elon and Errol Musk have a tumultuous relationship according to many reports and comments over the years. In a new interview, the father of the world’s richest man repeatedly belittled his famous son.
Errol Musk, 76, made the remarks about his son Elon, 50, on Monday during an interview on the Australian radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show, broadcast in Los Angeles on KIIS-FM, Newsmax reported.
“Your offspring is a genius,” presenter Jackie O said, opening the questioning.
“He’s worth so much money and has created so many things, you can’t take that away from him,” she continued, seemingly acknowledging their contentious relationship. “Are you proud?”
“No,” Errol said.
While most parents would beam at all the things entrepreneur Elon has accomplished–achievements that have not only made him wealthy but have greatly benefited the world–Errol thinks it’s par for the course for his bloodline.
“You know, we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time,” Errol said. “It’s not as if we suddenly started doing something.”
During the interview, Errol went on to say that Kimbal Musk, 49, who is a chef and restaurateur, is his “pride and joy.”
Elon’s dad calls him fat
After being asked about recent photos that showed his son vacationing in Greece, Errol slammed his boy as being fat, TMZ reported.
“Elon is very strongly built but he’s been eating badly,” Errol said. He went on to recommend his son take a weight loss supplement called garcinia cambogia, which is alleged to aid weight loss without additional exercise or dieting. Medical professionals view this supplement as dangerous, and it was linked to kidney failure by the NIH.
