He said, “Our only purpose on earth is to reproduce.” No wonder his son is so strange, family-wise. AND HIS STEPDAUGHTER! That’s just beyond weird. [https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musks-76-old-dad-203015062.html](https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musks-76-old-dad-203015062.html) ---

Ick… but biologically-speaking, not really a problem. How old was she, when he was married to her mother? If she was pre-teen, extra ICK ICK ICK. ---

There’s an error in the thread title. Errol Musk previously had three known children: Elon, Tosca, and Kimbal. This newly discovered child is his fourth not his second. [ETA] My bad, Errol had three kids with Maye Musk and two kids with his stepdaughter. So five kids total. This news story is about the second kid with his stepdaughter and the thread title is correct. ---

The link is broken for me, but [here’s another](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/elon-musk-dad-has-secret-second-child-1383353/). Elon Musk claims his father’s a terrible human being, and it’s nice to find something we agree on. ---

You know, I immediately assumed it was some technical thing, like he was married to some woman for a few years, and she had an adult daughter, or something like that. But no, this woman is the half-sister of his other kids and lived in his household from the age of 4 on. This is disgusting. ---
