Elon Musk's father Errol says claims that he sexually abused his children are 'false and nonsense'

"Relatives of Elon Musk have repeatedly contacted the Tesla CEO for support and he has sometimes interceded, according to the Times, citing personal letters, emails and interviews with family members obtained as part of the investigation. Police and court records reportedly document three separate investigations into the alleged abuse. Two of the investigations ended, but the outcome of the third remains unclear."

"One relative reportedly wrote a five-page letter to Elon Musk in 2010, detailing some of the allegations against his father and urging him to intervene. "We really need your advice, help and guidance in these matters because we daily see these children suffer," the relative wrote in the letter, which was reviewed by the Times. It was not clear if Elon Musk read the letter, but one of his assistants reportedly contacted a family member afterward."

"The SpaceX CEO's father, who has not been convicted of any crime, dismissed the allegations as "false and nonsense in the extreme" in a statement to the Times. Errol Musk, who currently lives in South Africa, has been married three times and has at least nine children and stepchildren. He was described by the Times as maintaining "a powerful grip over much of the family"."

Errol Musk has been accused of abusing five of his children and stepchildren in South Africa and California, with alleged incidents dating to the early 1990s. He has not been convicted and dismissed the allegations as "false and nonsense in the extreme." Police and court records reportedly document three separate investigations; two concluded while the outcome of the third remains unclear. The earliest alleged incident involved a stepdaughter accusing him of abuse at age four in 1993. Other relatives allege abuse of two daughters and a stepson. Family members repeatedly contacted Elon Musk seeking help and intervention.
