Overview

• WELT reports a three-hour, on-location interview in South Africa with Errol Musk and publishes a three‑minute WELT TV clip from the conversation.
• Errol Musk says Elon’s view of politics is that he should run things, which he characterizes as a dictatorship.
• WELT notes years of estrangement between father and son, with Errol disputing Elon’s past accounts of a harsh upbringing as Elon has described episodes of “mental torture” in prior reporting and biography.
• The piece highlights a 2016 exchange in which Elon reportedly told his father “Trump ist bösartig, Dad,” while Errol now claims Elon later backed Trump, says a public rift was repaired, and asserts Elon dropped plans for an America Party.
• The material is presented as an exclusive based largely on Errol Musk’s personal testimony with no independent corroboration or reported immediate consequences for Elon Musk.
