NYT Report Details Decades of Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Errol Musk

Drawing on police files, court records, family correspondence, the report traces allegations that never yielded a conviction.

Overview

  • Errol Musk, 79, is accused of abusing five children and stepchildren in incidents dating to 1993 in South Africa and California, according to the investigation.
  • The Times cites three police inquiries over the years, with two closed and the outcome of a third unclear, and no criminal convictions on any of the allegations.
  • As recently as 2022–2023, relatives and a social worker intervened after a then 5-year-old son reported being groped, the coverage says.
  • Family members repeatedly sought Elon Musk’s help, including a five-page letter around 2010, and he has at times provided financial support to relatives.
  • Errol Musk denies the claims as false, describing them as attempts to extract money from Elon Musk, and Elon has not publicly commented on the new report.
