Errol Musk, father of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has made strong remarks against his son’s recent controversial statements, advising people not to take him seriously. Speaking to a news agency, Errol Musk said, “People don’t need to pay attention to what Elon says. He might be a billionaire, but he’s still just an ordinary person.”

These comments come amid Elon Musk’s repeated criticism of global political leaders, which has drawn backlash for spreading misinformation. Errol Musk Speaks Out In an interview with a prominent news agency, Errol Musk stated that Elon’s billionaire status does not make his words gospel. "He’s just a normal person with money. People don’t need to take his comments seriously. Millions might retweet him because of his wealth, but that doesn’t make him infallible," said Errol, delivering a strikingly candid assessment of his son. This public reproach comes amid a flurry of criticism directed at Elon Musk for his controversial statements targeting world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Elon Musk recently accused Keir Starmer of failing to address gang violence against women during his tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) from 2008 to 2013. The UK Prime Minister swiftly refuted these allegations but chose not to directly address Musk. The Tesla CEO’s controversial remarks didn’t stop there. Musk also accused Emmanuel Macron of interfering in French elections and criticized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for allegedly undermining democratic processes.

Similar allegations were leveled against US Vice President Kamala Harris and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, sparking outrage across political circles. Elon Musk’s growing penchant for political commentary has made him a polarizing figure. Critics argue that his remarks, often amplified by his immense social media following, border on misinformation. Supporters, however, view him as a disruptor unafraid to question the status quo. Regardless of intent, his comments have sparked diplomatic discomfort and raised concerns about the influence of billionaire tech moguls on global politics.
