Elon Musk’s first son, Nevada, whom he shared with ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, suddenly died at 10 weeks old in 2002.
The couple welcomed five more children during their time together.
Baby Nevada passed away due to sudden infant death syndrome.
The SpaseX owner once shared that his baby died in his arms and he felt its last hearbeat, adding, “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”
This time, however, it’s Musk’s own father, Errol Musk, who opened up about the passing of his grandson, blaming Musk for not being the best dad.
In a podcast interview on the South African show Wide Awake, Errol Musk said, “The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny.”
He added, “If Elon hears this, he’s gonna shoot me or something, but anyway, that’s what I think.”
He went on to criticize his son and his ex-daughter-in law, saying, “They were too rich, [had] too many nannies… then he had five children with the same woman – five sons, all brought up with their own nanny. You following me?”
Errol Musk then shared the setup the ex-couple agreed on following their separation, which Errol found bizarre. “When they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side and six on that side. So it was a really weird situation.”
Wilson, Musk’s ex, also opened up about the son’s passing. In an essay penned for Marie Claire, she wrote, “Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing. By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead.
“He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died.”
The relationship between the Tesla owner and his dad has not been the best. In the past, Musk described his father as “a terrible human being,” accusing him of being “physically violent” with him when he was young.
Errol Musk has children with his stepdaughter. Imagine raising a girl child to have children with her. This man is disgusting to the core. Just like his son Elon Musk. pic.twitter.com/KaE9qDAxVp

Elon Musk is a father of 12.
Recently, however, author Ashley St. Clair claimed she had given birth to Musk’s child, which would make it his 13th.
“I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” she said.
“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment.”
