Business tycoon Elon Musk had stirred a few pots after saying that he was trying his best to prevent the underpopulation crisis. This statement didn’t go well with most people who argued that the planet is already exploding with overpopulation.
Now it seems someone took Elon’s words seriously. He is none other than his own estranged father, Errol, who recently revealed that his stepdaughter gave birth to their second child three years ago.

Elon Musk’s Father Welcomed A Second Child Three Years Ago
In an interview with The Sun, Elon Musk’s father Errol talked about welcoming his second child. Errol, who is 76 now, said that his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout, 35, gave birth to their second child who was “unplanned.”
The two had shared their first child, Elliot Rush, in 2017. Both were living together for the first 18 months following Elliot’s birth but now they have separated.
He said, “It’s not practical. She’s 35. Eventually, if I’m still around, she might wind up back with me.” Elon’s father then talked about the age gap between him and Jana. “Any man who marries a [younger] woman, even if you feel very sprightly, it’s going to be nice for a while, but there’s a big gap … and that gap is going to show itself.”
Errol then added that the situations were different when he was married to Jana’s mother Heide, saying, “I married her mother when she was 25 and I was 45. She was probably one of the best-looking women I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Errol, who has seven children, also concurs with Elon’s views on the human population. He said, “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce. If I could have another child I would. I can’t see any reason not to. If I had thought about it then Elon or Kimbal wouldn’t exist.”

Last week, it was reported that Elon welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis in November 2021. Shivon is the director of operations and special projects at the Musk-owned company Neuralink.
After the big reveal, the SpaceX founder said that he’s doing his “best to help the underpopulation crisis.” He also claimed that “a collapsing birth rate is the bigger danger civilization faces by far.”
