Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, is not too happy with his son.
During an interview with Australia’s “Kyle and Jackie O Show,” Errol Musk said he is not “proud” of his son because his family has “done a lot of things for a long time,” as Fox News reported.
He explained, “It’s not as though we suddenly started doing something.”
Errol Musk continued, “I mean, the kids were traveling around the world with me when they were tiny, and they’ve been doing pretty much very interesting things… but Elon has really surpassed the mark.”
According to him, “[Elon] sometimes feels that he’s an underachiever. He feels that he’s behind schedule.”
Errol Musk went on to suggest that Elon Musk’s younger brother is a billionaire.
“He’s my pride and joy, Kimbal,” he told the hosts.
During the interview, Errol Musk said his sons are “stoic” and “icy.”
“Kimbal has managed to find a girl… she [Christiana] goes with him everywhere, and so he’s very fortunate and it makes me very happy,” he said.
If Elon Musk meets a woman “that’s sort of similar to him, she’s probably got masses of program things to attend to as well, so they can’t spend time together,” according to Errol Musk.
He added, “He has to find a woman who’s prepared to give up what she’s doing and that’s not easy.”
Twitter users reacted to Errol Musk’s comments.

Like Trump, he's another megalomaniac who might have turned out to be a decent human being if his father weren't so nasty.

Last month, Errol Musk made headlines after revealing he had a secret child with his stepdaughter, as IJR reported.
“I haven’t checked her DNA. But she looks just like my other daughters. She looks like Rose and Tosca mixed up,” Errol Musk said.
He added, “She looks exactly like Rushi and she behaves like him. So it’s pretty obvious you know.”
Errol Musk explained his daughter “wasn’t planned. But I mean, we were living together. She [Jana] stayed here for about 18 months after Rushi was born.”
