In a wild podcast, Elon Musk’s dad, Errol Musk, has branded his billionaire son as a bad father. During his conversation with Joshua Rubin, the businessman accused the tech CEO of never being there for his children and leaving them in the care of nannies. He also claimed that Elon Musk’s first child, who tragically died when he was 10 months old, passed away while in the care of a nanny.

“Does Errol Musk Think Elon Is a Good Dad?” Rubin wrote while sharing a snippet of the podcast on Instagram. “Do you think Elon is a good dad?” Rubin asks. Errol Musk replies, “No, he hasn’t been a good dad.”

He then goes on to talk about Elon Musk’s first child, Nevada Alexander, and his death. “The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny. What I’m saying, if Elon hears this he’s gonna shoot me or something. But anyway, that’s what I think, that’s no good,” he says.
“They were too rich, too many nannies. Then he had five children with the same woman. Five sons all bought up, each one had its own nanny. You following me?” he continues.
At this moment, Rubin asks, “He never really spent time with his kids,” and Errol Musk promptly answers, “No.”
