Elon Musk’s Dad Sides with President in ‘Silly’ Feud: Trump ‘Will Prevail’
Breitbart ^ | 06/06/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/06/2025 12:32:41 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk said Friday on Al Arabiya English’s “Global News Today” that President Donald Trump will “prevail” in the public feud with his son.

Musk said, “It seems a bit silly to me.”

Host Tom Burges Watson said, “Do you think this is a bump in the road, or do you think this is the end of the road for the relationship between your son and Mr. Trump?”

Musk said, “Just a bump in the road. It will fizzle out in a few days.”

He continued, “I haven’t spoken to him, but I did send him a message, you know, telling him to make sure this fizzles out.”

Musk added, “I think there’s a bit of tiredness here. But, I would say that, in some ways, you know, it’s good that the older person sees that even at the highest levels, people struggle. You know, it’s not just in your home with your own family, but at all levels, people struggle to find common ground with each other. And, I think that’s all we’re seeing now. Trump, of course, will prevail because he has been voted in by the majority of the people in America. I’ve just spent three weeks in America. The people on, I would like to say 80%, but actually 100% behind Trump.”

This whole dust-up gives some insight into what Elon must be like as a father and as a husband.

Husband? That’s a role for the little men, at least until polygamy is legalized here.

Loyalty is rare and it’s priceless.

His father Errol is a Gemini, born May 25, 1946.
Trump was born June 14, 1946.

(I was born May 30, 1946).

Maybe Elon saw similarities between Trump and his own father, including mixed emotions of love and standing up as an individual.

I have seen a couple of Errol Musk’s interviews. They were wonderful.

I have not seen this one.

What? Neither of them have cell phones? Sheesh, this public spat is childish. I’m ashamed of them both.

Well, that says it all. When your own father thinks you behave like a baby, your cause is lost. I think Musk uses his disorder as an excuse for acting like an a-hole

Musk’s parents appear to be extreme opposites...at least from my perspective. I’d say mother called father...father called son...son thinking it through. I don’t think Elon’s brain is people oriented....it’s machine oriented....he NEVER seems relaxed around people....like he’s balancing on a beam.

Two strong dominant high IQ Alpha billionaire males with humongous egos having a dispute. Who will make the first gesture for reconciliation since both deep down admire each other? It’s in the development stage.

I believe Errol was an absentee father for decades. Not sure either cares much about what the other thinks.

Well then, Elon followed in his father’s footsteps being an absentee father to so many kids. He hasn’t stopped yet from procreating with different women.

Elon learned how the govt really works and how hard it is to do anything about it. He’ll recover.

Ain’t that the truth!

I’m glad he doesn’t abort them like so many others. I bet he supports them too. I’m fine with a high IQ person having children and marriage is dying out if you haven’t noticed. Gays and trans-mentals are the ones most obsessed with marriage these days.

I read that Elon’s dad was emotionally abusive to Elon and his brother. Ex given: they were made to stand in front of dad for hours. Also read Elon was bullied by kids.

I bet something happened that triggered Elon

Supposedly Musk’s Dad was pretty awful to Elon. His siblings have said so. D not know if that has improved.

Just because Musk has money now, does not mean he has had a great life. Face it, he has Aspergers and life is different for them regarding how they relate to others.
