Elon Musk's Dad Has Baby With Own Stepdaughter

March 27, 2018

“He’s a terrible human being”

"Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done. Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done."

That’s the glowing review billionaire tech innovator Elon Musk gave of his own father, someone who recently had a baby with his own stepdaughter.

Errol Musk, 72, described the 10-month-old baby boy he had with Jana Bezuidenhout, 30, as "God’s plan”.

In a move that sounds like it’s straight outta the Woody Allen playbook, Errol married Jana’s mother, Heide, when Jana was just four.

He told The Sunday Times, however, that he didn’t think of Jana as his stepdaughter because she had been raised away from the family for long periods.

He had two children with Heide before they divorced after 18 years of marriage.

Jana (pictured below) contacted him in 2017 after calling it a day with her boyfriend at the time.

Musk said that “one thing led to another - you can call it God's plan or nature's plan."

Two months later, Jana was pregnant.

Elon Musk, worth around $20bn, recently described his estranged father to Rolling Stone as a "terrible human being," but stopped short of giving specific examples.

Errol was charged with manslaughter after shooting dead three intruders in his home in South Africa. He said he was acting in self-defence and was acquitted.

The father and son have not spoken in more than a year.
