Elon Musk, the father of 12 kids, welcomed his first son with ex-wife Canadian author Justine Wilson. However, Nevada Alexander tragically lost his life when he was just 10-week-old. Now, Tesla CEO’s father has ruthlessly claimed that Musk “hasn’t been a good dad.”

Errol Musk claims Musk is ‘going to shoot’ him
During his appearance on the South African podcast Wide Awake, Errol Musk said that the tech mogul’s first kid with Wilson died due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and that his father did not spend much time with him and he was mostly under the care of nannies. “The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny,” Errol stated.
Claiming that Musk is “going to shoot” him after hearing him, Errol remarked that his son hired several nannies since he was too rich. “He had five children with the same woman – five sons all brought up, each one had its own nanny. You following me?”

A quick look into Musk’s 8-year marriage to Justine Wilson
Wilson went on to give birth to five other kids with Musk in their seven years of marriage. These include Vivian and Griffin, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian.
The duo, however, got divorced in 2008. Following this, Musk married actress Talulah Riley twice. However, the couple had no kids in their marriage and they later parted their ways. Musk announced the birth of his first child, X Æ A-12, with singer Grimes in 2020.
Commenting on Musk’s divorce with Wilson, Errol alleged that “When they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side and six on that side. So it was a really weird situation.”
When Elon mourned his child’s death
Following Alexander’s demise, Musk expressed his grief in a tweet, saying that “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat.”

The Tesla CEO went on to say that he has “no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”
In one of his interviews in 2017, Musk dubbed his father “terrible human being,” as per Daily Mail.
Continuing the tirade against his father, he revealed that Errol was “physically violent” with him when he was very young.
In the 1990s, Errol got married to Jana Bezuidenhout, his own stepdaughter. The duo welcomed two kids together.
A recent Review-Journal letter to the editor mischaracterized Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, also known as the Clark County Lands bill. As the former executive director of the Nevada Conservation League, I wholeheartedly support this legislation, so I wanted to set the record straight.
Sen. Cortez Masto has been working on this bill for years in partnership with state and local governments, conservation groups like the NCL and local area tribes. It’s true that the Clark County lands bill would open 25,000 acres to help Las Vegas grow responsibly, while setting aside 2 million acres for conservation. It would also help create more affordable housing throughout the valley while ensuring our treasured public spaces can be preserved for generations to come.
What is not correct is that the money from these land sales would go to the federal government’s coffers. In fact, the opposite is true.
The 1998 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act is a landmark bill that identified specific public land for future sale and created a special account ensuring all land sale revenues would come back to Nevada. In accordance with that law 5 percent of revenue from land transfers goes to the state of Nevada for general education purposes, 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority for needed water infrastructure and 85 percent supports conservation and environmental mitigation projects in Southern Nevada. This legislation has provided billions to Clark County and will continue to benefit generations of Southern Nevadans. Sen. Cortez Masto’s lands bill builds upon the act’s success.

So here’s the good news: All of the money generated from land made available for sale under Sen. Cortez Masto’s bill would be sent to the special account created by the 1998 law. Rather than going to an unaccountable federal government, the proceeds would continue to help kids in Vegas get a better education, bolster outdoor recreation and modernize Southern Nevada’s infrastructure.
I know how important it is that money generated from the sale of public land in Nevada stay in the hands of Nevadans, and so does the senator. That’s why she opposed a Republican effort last year to sell off 200,000 acres of land in Clark County and other areas of the country that would have sent those dollars directly to Washington.
Public land management in Nevada should benefit Nevadans. We should protect sacred cultural sites and beloved recreation spaces, responsibly transfer land for affordable housing when needed and ensure our state has the resources it needs to grow sustainably. I will continue working with Sen. Cortez Masto to advocate for legislation, such as the Clark County lands bill, that puts the needs of Nevadans first.
