Elon Musk’s father accused of sexually abusing children, stepchildren

Errol Musk, the 79-year-old father of Elon Musk, has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993, according to the New York Times.

The report said these allegations may explain why Elon Musk rarely speaks about his father.

It also noted that some of Musk’s family members have reached out to him for help, leading him to sometimes intervene.

Errol Musk denied the claims, telling the Times they were “nonsense” and “false.”

Citing personal letters, emails, and interviews with relatives, the Times said Errol Musk, who has at least nine children and stepchildren and has been married three times, “maintains a powerful grip over much of the family.” Elon Musk did not respond to requests for comment.

Court documents, correspondence, social workers, and family interviews suggest the earliest allegation came in 1993, when a four-year-old stepdaughter told relatives Errol Musk had touched her at the family home.

About ten years later, the same stepdaughter alleged that she caught him sniffing her underwear, the Times reported. Other family members have also accused him of abusing two daughters and a stepson.

Three separate law enforcement investigations were opened, the Times said, citing police and court records. Two cases ended without action, while the outcome of the third is unclear.

“There was no evidence because this is nonsense,” Errol Musk told the Times. He said family members were “putting the children up to say false things” in an attempt to extort Elon, his eldest son.

Elon Musk has spoken little about his father but has described a strained relationship. In a 2017 Rolling Stone interview, he said his father had done “almost every evil thing you could possibly think of.”

Musk recalled living with his father at age 10 while his siblings Kimbal and Tosca stayed with their mother.

“I felt sorry for my father, because my mother had all three kids. He seemed very sad and lonely by himself. So I thought, ‘I can be company,’” Musk said.

He added: “I didn’t really understand at the time what kind of person he was … It was not a good idea.”

Without offering details, he told the publication: “My dad will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil. He will plan evil.”

“Alaba Rago Has Fallen: Igbo, Think Home Before It Is Too Late!”

BEING A SPEECH DELIVERED BY H. E. PASTOR MICHAEL OBIERIKA AT A UNIEC SUMMIT Distinguished Elders, Respected Leaders, my brothers and sisters in the struggle for the survival and prosperity of Ndigbo—I speak to you this morning as a Concerned Elder Statesman. Just a few days ago, the Lagos State Government sent in its bulldozers. And in the twinkling of an eye, Alaba Rago —was demolished, reduced to dust and silence. In case you do not know, Alaba Rago is that sprawling Hausa cattle market that had fed countless families, powered trade, and stood as a testimony to Northern enterprise in Lagos. That, my people, is not just the fall of a market. It is a warning from history . A message written in bold letters, not only to the Hausa who owned that market, but especially to us, the Igbo—because we, more than any other people, have invested the sweat of our brow and the blood of our youth into Lagos. But let me ask us here today: if Alaba Rago could fall, what t...

UNIEC Condemns Barbaric and Brutal Attack By Terrorists On Worshippers At Christ Apostolic Church

Statement from the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide e United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide condemns—unequivocally and in the strongest terms—the barbaric and brutal attack carried out by armed gunmen on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Eruku, Kwara State, on the night of November 18, 2025. This horrific incident, in which innocent Christians gathered in a vigil were savagely attacked, is an affront to every principle of humanity, decency, and civilized society. Reports indicate that the attackers opened fire on worshippers, killing at least three congregants and abducting several others, including the pastor. This tragedy shakes the conscience, not only because of the loss of innocent lives, but also because of the chilling nature of the attack. How can it be said that murderers took their time slaughtering old men and women in cold blood—unchallenged? How can such unspeakable evil unfold in a supposedly civilized society without the immediate intervention of s...

Asaba-Onitsha and Asaba-Illah-Ebu-Ubiaja Roads

Okolie Raises Alarm Over Collapsing Federal Roads in Delta State Calls on Presidency, FERMA, and Ministry of Works to Act Urgently By Our Reporter Asaba, Delta State – A Patron of the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide, (UNIEC) and member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ngozi Okolie, has raised fresh concerns over the worsening state of major federal roads in Delta State, describing them as “lifelines now failing at great human and economic cost.” Speaking in a statement yesterday, Okolie highlighted three critical corridors — the Asaba-Illah-Ebu-Ubiaja Road, the Asaba-Onitsha Expressway, and the Okpanam-Asaba Highway — all of which he said have deteriorated into death traps despite repeated parliamentary interventions. “These roads are not just infrastructure; they are lifelines that connect people, communities, and economies,” Okolie declared. “Yet today, they stand as stark reminders that government promises must be matched...
