ERROL Musk, the 79-year-old father of tech titan Elon Musk, is facing shocking allegations that he sexually abused five of his own children and stepchildren.
According to a report in the New York Times, the alleged crimes date back to 1993.
Early accusations include a four-year-old stepdaughter claiming Errol had inappropriately touched her.
This was followed by disturbing incidents in later years, including one where she caught him sniffing her dirty panties.
While not named in the piece, PageSix.com reported that the woman could be his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout, who he would later have a relationship with when she reached her 20s.
They have two children together.
Other claims involve allegations of abuse towards two daughters and a stepson.
The Times' investigation revealed that three separate law enforcement inquiries were launched, but two were closed without charges, and the fate of the third remains a mystery.
Musk has denied the claims, telling the NY Times that they were “false”.
Asked for comment by The Guardian, Errol Musk provided a list of answers to queries from the Times, including replies that read “this is nonsense” and “this is absolute rubbish”.
Elon Musk has called his estranged father evil in the past.
In a candid 2017 interview, he described Errol as a man who “had done almost every evil thing you could possibly think of.”
Elon reminisced about moving in with his father at the tender age of ten, initially unaware of Errol’s troubling character, a decision he later regretted.
