Elon Musk’s father, Errol, has claimed that his son “lied” about his wealthy upbringing, including his knowledge of their dealings in an emerald mine in Zambia. The 78-year-old South African businessman made the revelation in the latest episode of Podcast and Chill.
Elon – who is the world’s wealthiest man – is one of seven children fathered by Errol. He grew up in Pretoria, before relocating to Canada and later the US.
