Elon Musk's relationship with father

Appearing on a podcast in February, Errol called out his son and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. When asked if he thought his billionaire son was a good father, Errol replied no and accused him of using "too many nannies". He also claimed that Musk did not spend time with his children.

Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO described his childhood as unhappy and without financial privilege. However, Errol denied this and claimed that Elon went to school in a Rolls-Royce and his children grew up in comfort.
