London: Considered to be a superstar in the technology world, Elon Musk, is renowned entrepreneur known all over the world. He started not less than four billion-dollar companies. But his father still thinks that his child needs to grow up to the mark and leave behind tantrums.
“Elon needs to grow up,” Errol, who is a successful consulting engineer and father of the 46-year-old visionary billionaire, was quoted as saying by The Mail on Sunday.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX had earlier called 72-year-old Errol, who surprised his grown-up children by fathering a boy with his much younger new wife, “evil”.
“He was such a terrible human being, you have no idea,” Elon said in an interview for the American magazine Rolling Stone with tears running down his face.
“My dad will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil. He will plan evil. Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done. Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done. It’s so terrible, you can’t believe it,” said the man who harbors has got plans soon to be hatched for creating habitable colonies on distant planets.
When Errol was interviewed by The Mail on Sunday at his home in South Africa’s Western Cape, he gave a shocking revelation from his own — That he was even once charged with manslaughter for killing three men by shooting at them when they broke into his home.
But after sometime he was acquitted, after he pleaded that his act was for self-defence.
“I’m going to wait until he comes to his senses. He’s having a tantrum, like a spoilt child,” Errol told of his extremely successful son who was partner founder of PayPal and then sold it, the world’s leading Internet payment system, and Zip2, one of the first internet maps and directions services.
“I drove them to school in a convertible Rolls-Royce Corniche, they had thoroughbred horses to ride and motorbikes at the age of 14. They were spoilt, I suppose. Maybe that’s why Elon is acting like a spoilt child now,” he was quoted as saying.
The major turning point according to Errol is when he impregnated his 30-year-old girlfriend.
“I got my 30-year-old girlfriend Jana pregnant and we had a baby son, who is now ten months old,” he was quoted as saying.
“I think Elon was emotionally fragile when he attacked me,” Errol said.
Elon Mask is South African born Canadian American business magnate, investor and engineer. He founded the organisation SpaceX and also the lead designer of it. He is also a co-founder of Tesla Inc among others. He plans to start space tourism through his brain child – SpaceX.
