Overview

• The investigation reports five children and stepchildren accuse Errol Musk of sexual abuse in South Africa and California dating back to 1993.
• The Times cites police and court files, family letters and emails, social-worker contacts and interviews to document the claims.
• Law-enforcement records show three probes were opened; two were closed and the outcome of the third is unclear, and no charges led to a conviction.
• Errol Musk rejects the allegations as “false” and “nonsense in the extreme” and has suggested relatives sought to extract money from Elon Musk.
• Relatives repeatedly appealed to Elon for help, including a five-page letter around 2010; he has at times provided financial support, has not issued a substantive public response to the latest report, and past accounts describe an estranged relationship.
