Elon Musk's father is accused of sexual abuse of his children and his wife's children

The New York Times These charges may be the reason Musk rarely mentions his father.

The 79-year-old dismissed accusations reported by the Times immediately, saying they were pointless “” and false “”.

Citing personal letters, e-mails and interviews with family members, the Times said Errol Musk, who has at least nine children and children from women and has been married to three women, “holds a powerful check on most of the family”.

Elon Musk has not responded to requests for comment.

The earliest indictment against Errol Mousk was in 1993, reports the Times, when his wife's four - year - old daughter told relatives that she had touched him.

A decade later, she said she caught him sniffing at her dirty underwear, the Times reported, adding that some family members have also accused him of abusing two of his daughters and a wife's son, reports Thegardian.

Three separate law enforcement investigations were opened, the Times reports, citing police and court data as well as family members' confessions. Two of the investigations ended without action, while it is unclear what happened in the third investigation.

“There was no evidence because this is meaningless,” Errol Musk said in a statement for the Times, saying “raports are false”. He accused family members that “was pushing children to say false things” and that they were trying to defraud Elon, his eldest son.

Elon Musk has described a difficult relationship with Erroli in the rare case he has commented on his father. He told Rolling Stone in 2017 that his father had done “almost anything bad you can imagine”.

On the profile, Musk said that he had gone to live with his father at the age of 10, while his younger brothers and sisters, Kimbal and Tosca, stayed with their mother.

I felt sorry for my father because my mother had all three children. He seemed very sad and lonely alone. So I thought, he could make friends, he said.

He continued: “at the time I didn't really understand what kind of person he was... It wasn't a good idea. ”

Without entering specific details, he told the publication: “My father will have a very, very carefully thought bad plan. He'll plan evil.” /Periscopi/
