Elon Musk's Dad Accused of Sexually Abusing Multiple Children and Stepchildren

"According to the NYT, the earliest record of abuse occurred in 1993, when Musk's then-4-year-old stepdaughter (Bezuidenhot) told relatives he had touched her inappropriately at the family's home. A decade later, Bezuidenhout told family members she caught Musk smelling her dirty underwear when she went to her bedroom to get a sweatshirt. After that incident, the family members called the police. Elon was also informed of the incident."

"Further in the story, relatives also accused Musk of abusing two of his daughters and a stepson. Subsequently, three separate police investigations were opened. While it's unclear what happened in one investigation, the other two ended without action. Meanwhile, Musk maintains his innocence, claiming that all of the allegations were "false and nonsense in the extreme." Further, he asserted that they were lies concocted by the relatives with the purpose of getting payments from Elon."

"The victim of the fifth and final claim of abuse is allegedly the son he shares with Bezuidenhout. In 2022, the former couple's then-5-year-old son accused Musk of grabbing his butt, per text messages from Heide-Mari Bezuidenhout, Errol's third ex-wife and Jana's mother. "He said, 'Dad gropes his behind,'" she wrote to a relative in 2023. "He screamed, 'No, dad.'" While relatives contacted the police about the boy's claim, prosecutors dropped the case because there was no tangible proof."

Errol Musk is accused of sexually abusing five children and stepchildren in South Africa and California, including his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout and two children born in 2017 and 2019. The earliest reported allegation dates to 1993 when a then-4-year-old stepdaughter said he touched her inappropriately. A later incident involved an allegation that he was smelling Jana's dirty underwear, prompting relatives to call police and inform Elon. Relatives also accused him of abusing two daughters and a stepson, prompting three investigations; two ended without action and one outcome is unclear. He denies the allegations and says relatives sought payments from Elon. A 2022 claim by a then-5-year-old son led to police contact but prosecutors dropped the case for lack of tangible proof.
