Errol Musk has earned criticism online for his parenting style, ironically for criticising his own son’s role as a parent.

The father of tech billionaire, Elon, recently described his son as a “bad dad”, but social media pointed out that he was none the better. Errol made the comments during a wide-ranging interview on an episode of the Wide Awake Podcast.

“No, he hasn’t been a good father. The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny. If Elon hears this, he’s going to shoot me or something,” Errol said.

He added that his son didn’t spend enough time with his kids, saying that they were too rich and had too many nannies.

“Then he had five children, each one had their own nanny. It was a weird situation. He didn’t spend enough time with them,” he noted.

Elon has had 12 children with three different women over 20 years. Sadly, his firstborn child, Nevada Alexander, passed away at just 10 weeks old from Sudden Death Syndrome (SIDS).
