Story of billionaire Alan Musk’s father: 2 children born to Sauti daughter, earned crores in life, but …

Alan Musk is currently the world’s richest person. His net worth is $ 376 billion. You must have read, heard and seen about him a lot, but do you know about his father. Maybe not! Many people do not know about his father Eraol Musk. Eraol Musk is on his five -day visit to India these days. He has also planned to visit the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Today’s story is about Elon Musk’s father Eraol Musk. What you read in the headline, their life is the same. Quite controversial.

Let’s start from the beginning. Eraol was born in 1946 in the city of Pretoria, South Africa. There was education and then he became an electro-mechanical engineer. He always wanted to do something new in his mind. He came into the world of construction and started working on big projects in the 1970s, such as office buildings, retail complexes, residential colonies. His engineering art made him famous at the local level.

Along with this, Eraol also tried his hand in real estate. He bought several assets and renewed several properties in Pritoria and nearby rich areas. His vision made him earned millions. People used to say, “Eraol Musk is the human being who makes gold by touching the stone.”

The 1980s proved to be a golden period for Eraol Musk. He acquired the right to produce three sapphire mines of Zambia. It was a secret and risky deal, which was later described by Eraol as a “Under the Table”. Neelam’s business filled her pockets and gave her a great lifestyle. He had many features such as private yatt, Sesna aircraft, rolls-royce car, and a spectacular lodge in the Timbavati game reserve, which could be with a billionaire.

Eraol Musk of course earned a lot of money and got fame, but his relationship with his son Allen Musk (at this time the world’s richest) became a unresolved puzzle for the world. Their relationships did not see the same warmth, as it should be.

It is said that everything was not right in Eraol’s life. His first wife’s name was Maye Musk. They had three children with Maa- Allen, Kimble, and Taska. But later their marital life did not last long and the marriage broke up. After divorce, Eraol married HEIDE Bezuidenhout. Hide was 20 years younger than him. He had two more children with this relationship. Even it was fine, but the biggest controversy arose when Erroll took a relationship with his step -daughter Jana Bezuidenhout and had two children. First 2018 and second in 2019. This incident became a topic of discussion not only in South Africa, but worldwide.

Errol’s relationship with his eldest son Alan Musk did not go well from the beginning. Elon Musk, owner of companies like Tesla and SpaceX, once called his father “terrible person” and “wicked”. Alan Musk claims that Eraol Musk suffered him emotionally in childhood. On the other hand, Eraol says that he did what could happen to make his children strong and independent.

Eraol Musk, who once earned a lot of money, was quite well shaken in the 1990s. Some media reports mention that Allen Musk and his brother Kimble Musk helped their father. Eraol also invested $ 28,000 in Allen Musk’s first company. The name of that company was Zip 2. Later he sold the same company for $ 30.7 million. But Allen Musk says that his father had no major contribution in his success. Eraol claims that he and Allen are still in touch, but Alan rejects it outright.

Alan was angry at Jana-Arole’s relationship

When Elon Musk came to know that his father Eraol started a relationship with his step -daughter Jana Bezuidenhut and he had his first child in 2018, he became angry with anger. Alan considered it against immoral and family values. He called his father a “terrible person” and broke the relationship completely. In 2019, the tension increased when he had a second child of Jana and Eraol. Alan publicly criticized Eraol, calling his behavior “wicked”. This incident deepened their already stressful relationship, causing the dialogue between the two to end.

Today in 2025, the maximum assets of Eraol Musk are estimated at around 20-50 million dollars. However, the figure is also not official. But if you accept it as true too, then this amount is nothing in front of his son Alan’s assets of $ 400 billion. Errol has no stake in Tesla, SpaceX, or any other company of Allen. He is still active in the Global Advisory Board of Sarvotech Power Systems and lives in South Africa.

Alan Musk gave a Tesla car in the gift, but Eraol did not take

Once Alan Musk offered to gift a Tesla car to his father Eraol Musk. This was seen as a positive aspect in the relationship between the two. However, Eraol turned down the proposal. He said that the charging infrastructure required for the Tesla car in South Africa was not available, and the cost of shipping the car there was very high. Instead, Eraol chose a bentley flying spur car, which was more suitable according to his lifestyle and allegedly local.
