Elon Musk's Dad, 76, Confirms Secret Child With Stepdaughter

Elon Musk’s dad Errol has finally revealed his secret second child with his glamorous stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout.

The Musk patriarch, 76, welcomed the baby girl with Jana, 35, back in 2019 — but only confirmed the news on Wednesday, bragging to the Sun: “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.”

The duo already share a 5-year-old boy, Elliot Rush, born in 2017.

Looking at Errol, one can see the father-son duo is very much similar and both have the desire to procreate. Errol's admission comes only a few weeks after it was revealed that Elon fathered twins with an executive at his artificial intelligence company Neuralink, only weeks before his second child with ex-girlfriend Grimes was born.

Errol admitted Jana’s pregnancy was “unplanned” and told the publication that they are no longer living together, citing their 41-year age gap.

“It’s not practical. She’s 35,” Errol declared. “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.”

There is no doubt that the Musk family tree is complicated and with each passing day, it is only becoming messier.

Errol has seven children, while Elon has fathered 10 offspring.

Errol — who is a wealthy South African engineer — married model Maye Haldeman Musk in 1970, with whom he had three children: Elon, Kimbal and Tosca.

The couple separated in 1979, before Errol went on to wed Heide Bezuidenhout, a young widow who already had two children, including Jana.

Errol and Heide had two biological children together, but Errol also helped raise Jana who was only 4 when she got her stepdad.

Errol and Heide eventually divorced after 18-year marriage.

The biggest shock came when Jana became pregnant with Errol back in 2017. This led to a bitter fallout between Errol and Elon, with the Tesla CEO furious that his father had impregnated his stepsister.

Errol’s other children were also “shocked” and uncomfortable about the surprise pregnancy.

“They still don’t like it,” Errol admitted in his new interview with the Sun. “They still feel a bit creepy about it, because she’s their sister. Their half-sister.”

Elon is yet to comment on his father's public admission of birth but it is believed that the duo is still not on talking terms, with Elon describing his dad as a “terrible human being” in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Errol and Jana’s son, born in 2017, is named Elliot Rush and is nicknamed “Rushi.” Errol has not disclosed the name of their daughter, who was born in 2019.

Even though the duo is no longer a couple, Errol said Jana and their two young children have come to stay at his home in Pretoria, South Africa.

“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.”

Well, even though Elon Musk is estranged from his father Errol, he still has more kids than his dad as he is a father of 10.

The Tesla CEO confirmed last week that he fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, a 36-year-old executive at his brain chip company Neuralink.

“Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis,” Musk tweeted out last Thursday. “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.”

The twins — whose names have not been disclosed — were born just weeks before Musk welcomed his second child, Exa Dark Sideræl, with Canadian pop star Grimes.

Musk and Grimes also have 2-year-old son X Æ A-Xii.

Tesla owner became a father for the first time in 2002, welcoming a son named Nevada with then-wife Justine Wilson.

But the baby tragically passed away only 10 weeks later from sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS.

Elon and Justine went on to have five more children, twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, before their divorce in 2008.
