Errol Musk criticized his son Elon’s parenting in a podcast, claiming Elon has been absent from his children's lives, relying on nannies. He mentioned the death of Elon’s first child under a nanny’s care as part of his concerns.

Errol Musk has branded his billionaire son a bad father and said Elon was never there for his mega brood of children. Errol, who himself is a famously terrible dad, admitted his own indiscretions but said—perhaps tongue-in-cheek—that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO will have him “shot” for going public with his opinions.
