Elon Musk's dad disses billionaire son, says he's not proud of him in radio interview
Musk said the family has 'done a lot of things for a long time'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Elon Musk's father Errol Musk took a jab at his billionaire son during an interview with Australia's "Kyle and Jackie O Show," telling the hosts he is not "proud" of him because the Musk family has "done a lot of things for a long time."
"It's not as though we suddenly started doing something," he said. "I mean, the kids were traveling around the world with me when they were tiny, and they've been doing pretty much very interesting things… but Elon has really surpassed the mark."
Musk's father went on, sharing that the billionaire business magnate is not as happy as he would like to be and that he believes his successes came years too late.

"Kimbal has managed to find a girl… she [Christiana] goes with him everywhere, and so he's very fortunate and it makes me very happy."
Musk then relayed his concern for Elon since he lacks a substantive relationship similar to the one his brother has, questioning whether Elon could ever find a woman willing to sacrifice her career for him.

"He has to find a woman who's prepared to give up what she's doing and that's not easy."
The SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink CEO sparked controversy in April when he purchased tech giant Twitter, pushing back against the platform's allegedly anti-free speech policies that favored leftist viewpoints, but the deal is in jeopardy as Musk seeks to pull out of the purchase.
