Families can be tough. Some of the most bitter and difficult relationships are between the closest people in the world - brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. And it doesn't matter how rich or famous or smart you are, family relationships can still be a mess.

Just ask Elon Musk.

Though there's no way of knowing exactly what went on inside the Musk household, to hear Elon Musk tell it, his father Errol Musk was and is an outright villain.

In 2017, Elon told Rolling Stone,

"He was such a terrible human being. [...] My dad will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil. He will plan evil.”

How bad was it? Elon told Rolling Stone,

"You have no idea about how bad. Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done. Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done."

So what evil things is Elon referring to? Well, we do know that know that Errol Musk was acquitted of murder for killing three people who invaded his home, as it was ruled self defense. And we also know that Elon has publicly accused his father of being abusive.

"It was very violent. It was not a happy childhood. My father has serious issues"

But according to The Daily Mail, insiders believe the real point of friction has to do with perhaps Errol's most infamous act: in 2018 it was reported that Errol had fathered a child with his own step-daughter, Jana Bezuidenhout.

He was 72 at the time; she was 30. For his part, Errol told the Daily Mail that technically she wasn't his step daughter anymore: though he had helped raise her from the age of 4 when he married her mother Heide, he and Heide eventually got divorced, so that apparently gave him the all clear. He said,

"I have no step-daughters or step-sons. I have four ex-wives."

He also told The Daily Mail that he considered the baby to be divine providence.

"We were lonely, lost people. One thing led to another – you can call it God's plan or nature's plan."

According to The Daily Mail, Elon felt very differently about his dad having a baby with his step sister, as he reportedly cut off all communication. And Jana's mother, Errol's ex-wife Heide, certainly shares Elon's disgust. Calling Errol, quote, "a bad man," Heide told Rapport,

"He has caused an incredible amount of pain for me and his children and now brought shame on the family again. We are furious that he could make his own stepchild pregnant."

This all was apparently the last straw for Elon, who had long had issues with his father. Elon told Rolling Stone that his childhood was, quote, "miserable," thanks to his father's verbal and emotional abuse.

According to Elon, Errol Musk had no faith in his son and told him so on the regular. When Elon moved to Canada with a head full of dreams, Errol believed his son would be back with his tail between his legs within a few months. Elon was never going to make it, his father told him. Elon said,

"He called me an idiot all the time."

That "idiot" went on to head the extremely successful companies Tesla and SpaceX, and also invented the technologies that allow us to make online payments, phone calls, and restaurant searches. So you might say that Elon has had the last laugh, only nobody is laughing, least of all Eroll, who continues to get his digs in through the media.

Errol Musk told The Daily Mail that his son needed to, quote, "grow up" and stop referring to him as evil.

"He needs to get over himself. I'm not going to hit back. I'm going to wait until he comes to his senses. He's having a tantrum, like a spoilt child. He can't have what he wants and now I am apparently an evil monster."

Apparently!
