In this episode of The Wide Awake Podcast, I sit down with Errol Musk, the father of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. Errol’s life is filled with success, controversy, and complicated family dynamics, and in this conversation, he opens up like never before.
We discuss his early life in South Africa, how he built his fortune, and what it was like raising Elon. He shares stories about Elon’s childhood, his early signs of genius, and the bullying he endured growing up. Errol also addresses their strained relationship, the public fallout between them, and his thoughts on Elon’s rise to global fame.
Beyond family, we dive into Errol’s most controversial moments, including his relationship with his former stepdaughter and the backlash that followed. He also gives his take on Elon’s political views, his influence in global affairs, and even the phone call he arranged between Elon and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
This is a raw, revealing, and at times shocking conversation with the man who raised Elon Musk.
