Elon Musk’s father has claimed he’s had a second child with his 34-year-old stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout, who is 41 years his junior.
Errol Musk, 76, welcomed his first welcomed baby – Elliot Rush, nicknamed Rushi – with Bezuidenhout back in 2018.
But now the South African electromechanical engineer and pilot is also claiming to have fathered another child with his former stepdaughter, who he says gave birth to a daughter three years ago.
Speaking to The Sun, Musk said: "I haven't checked her DNA. But she looks just like my other daughters. She looks like Rose and Tosca mixed up.

"She looks exactly like Rushi and she behaves like him. So it's pretty obvious you know."
He added: "She wasn't planned. But I mean, we were living together. She [Jana] stayed here for about 18 months after Rushi was born.
"But I realised she's two generations behind whereas her mother was one generation behind when I married her.
"So any man who marries a woman, even if you feel very sprightly, it's going to be nice for a while. But there’s a big gap… And that gap is going to show itself.”
Musk was previously with Bezuidenhout’s mother Heidi, with whom he shares two children from the 18-year marriage.
"I married her mother when she was 25 and I was 45,” he said.
“She was probably one of the best looking woman I've ever seen in my life."
While Musk no longer lives with Bezuidenhout, he said they still ‘have a lot of affection for each other’.
However, he said their relationship is ‘not practical’, adding: "She's 35 next birthday. She's getting on. So eventually if I'm still around she might wind up back with me. It's difficult.
"I mean, I would much rather have them here. But Jana came and spent a few days here about six months ago. And the kids were starting to get on my nerves.
"Then I miss them as soon as they have gone."
Musk said his other daughters were ‘shocked’ by his relationship with Bezuidenhout, because ‘to them it was their sister’.
"And they still don’t like it,” he explained.
“They still feel a bit creepy about it, because she's their sister. Their half-sister.”
Musk said he has other women alleging to have had his child, saying there are currently six ‘opportunists’ making the claim but that it was ‘quite conceivable’ that one could be his as there was a period in the 80s where he was ‘going out with different women every night’ in Johannesburg.
That said, Musk revealed he would happily have another child if he could, as he couldn’t ‘see any reason not to’.
"The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce,” he said, pointing out that, if he had ‘thought about it’ then sons Elon and Kimbal ‘wouldn’t exist’.
