Elon Musk's father says billionaire is to blame for his firstborn's death

Elon Musk's father Errol said his son was to blame for the death of his firstborn, who died at the age of 10 months from sudden infant death syndrome. According to Musk Sr., he was busy and did not pay attention to his child, shifting this to nannies.

"The first kid spent too much time with nannies and died in the care of a nanny. Elon will kill me for saying this, but I think that's true and it's not right. They were too rich, they had too many nannies," he told Wide Awake. According to Musk, his son and his first wife, the ex-Justine Wilson, who have five other children together - Griffin, Vivian, Jenna Kai, Saxon and Damian - had a total of 12 nannies when they divorced.

Musk currently has 13 children: six were born in his first marriage to Justine Wilson, three were born with Neuralink top manager Siobhan Zilis, and three more were born with singer Grimes. Children's writer Ashley St. Clair recently reported on the billionaire's thirteenth child.

Musk also touched on a few other issues in the podcast, including denying Musk's claims that he was bullied in school, saying it was just normal peer interaction.

In addition, Musk doubted that his son has Asperger's syndrome, which the billionaire himself had previously admitted. According to him, he had never heard of his diagnosis until that moment.

Elon Musk's relationship with his father has always been complicated. In interviews, the billionaire has repeatedly accused him of being cold. Errol Musk has publicly stated that he does not consider his son successful and has recommended that he lose weight.
