Elon Musk's father confirms he has a second secret child with stepdaughter

Elon Musk's father, Errol, has finally revealed that he fathered a second secret child with his stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout.

The 76-year-old Musk patriarch welcomed the baby girl with Jana, 35, in 2019, but only confirmed the news on Wednesday, telling the Sun, "The only thing we're on Earth for is to reproduce."

The two already share a 5-year-old son, Elliot Rush, born in 2017.

Errol apparently shares his famous son's desire to procreate, and his admission comes just a week after it was revealed that Elon had two children with an executive at his artificial intelligence company Neuralink, weeks before his second child with ex-girlfriend Grimes was born.

Errol admitted that Jana's pregnancy was "unplanned" and told the publication that they no longer live together, citing their 41-year age difference.

"It's not practical. She's 35 years old," Errol stated. "Eventually, if I'm still around, she might break up with me."

 "Any man who marries a [younger] woman, even if he feels very encouraged, will be nice for a while but there's a big gap... and that gap is going to show up."

The Musk family tree is complicated and growing more so every day. Errol has seven children, while Elon has fathered ten children.

Errol, a wealthy South African engineer, married model Maye Haldeman Musk in 1970, with whom he had three children: Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca.

The couple separated in 1979. Errol thren married Heide Bezuidenhout, a young widow who already had two children, including Jana.

Errol and Heide had two biological children together, but he also helped raise Jana, who was only four years old when he became her stepfather.

Errol and Heide eventually divorced after 18 years of marriage.But the Musk family was stunned when Jana became pregnant with Errol's baby in 2017. The pregnancy sparked a bitter feud between Errol and Elon, with the Tesla CEO furious that his father had impregnated his stepsister.

Errol's other children were also "shocked" and uncomfortable about the surprise pregnancy. 

"They still don't like her," Errol admitted in his new interview with the Sun. "They still feel a little creepy about it, because she's their sister. Their half-sister.

Elon has not commented publicly on his father's latest baby admission. The couple is still separated, and Elon described his father as a "terrible human being" in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Errol and Jana's son, born in 2017, is named Elliot Rush and they nickname him "Rushi." Errol has not revealed their daughter's name, who was born in 2019.

Although they are no longer a couple, Errol said Jana and their two young children have come to stay at his home in Pretoria, South Africa. 
"They spent a few days here about six months ago. And the kids were starting to get on my nerves," he stated candidly. "So I miss them as soon as they're gone."

Errol admitted that he had not asked Jana for a paternity test to make sure he was the father of her son, now 3, and said, "I haven't checked his DNA. But she looks like my other daughters.... So it's pretty obvious, you know?

However, the wealthy businessman claimed that there are other women who claim that he has also fathered their children. 

"I have about six people, women who claim that their son is my son at the moment. They are obviously opportunists," he said. "[But] there was a period in Johannesburg in the 1980s when I was dating a different woman every night. I went on a lot of dates. So it's quite conceivable that one of them could come back and say, 'This is your son.' It's possible."

The patriarch says he does not rule out the possibility of having more children in the future: "If I could have another child, I would. I can't see any reason not to."
