Overview
- Reporting cites police and court files, social‑worker accounts, family interviews and letters concerning alleged misconduct toward up to five children and stepchildren in South Africa and California.
- Authorities opened three inquiries over the years, with two later archived and the outcome of the third not publicly clear, and none leading to a conviction.
- The earliest allegation dates to 1993 from Jana, then about four, with additional reports in 2002 in Malibu and a 2023 claim by a five‑year‑old that was dropped for insufficient evidence.
- Errol Musk denies the accusations, calls them false and financially motivated, and has asserted closeness to Elon Musk, which Elon has not corroborated.
- Family correspondence reviewed by the Times indicates Elon Musk provided financial support to some relatives and has publicly condemned his father and described estrangement in past interviews and a 2023 biography.
