For years Elon Musk, on path to become the world’s first trillionaire, has shocked, amused and startled us with his extreme opinions and bizarre behaviours. To trace the roots of the enigmatic entrepreneur, 7NEWS Spotlight’s Liam Bartlett travels to a remote coastal town in South Africa In an interview unlike anything you’ve seen, set to air this Sunday at 8.00pm on Seven and 7plus, the unfiltered and unapologetic Errol Musk takes credit for Elon’s success, speaks candidly about claims he psychologically tortured Elon and his siblings, and defends his harsh parenting style as a measure to avoid “raising sissies”. While Elon Musk has fathered at least fourteen children with four women, his thrice-married father is not quite as prolific but proudly boasts of his own large brood including children, stepchildren and the two small kids he recently fathered with his former stepdaughter, forty years his junior. On a scale of family dramas, few rival the Musks. 7NEWS Spotlight’s Liam Bartlett said: “Spending time with the father of the world’s richest man does make you reassess everything you ever thought about nurture v nature. “What is fascinating is the way this Musk patriarch views his family and, in particular, his role in the incredible achievements of his eldest son, Elon” “One thing is sure, when you hear Errol, you’ll never listen to Elon the same way again.” Also on 7NEWS Spotlight, Sarah Ferguson has spent decades surviving scandal. Following revelations of her association with Jeffrey Epstein she’s now facing revelations linking her to jailed music mogul Sean “Diddy Combs. 7NEWS Spotlight’s Ashlee Mullany investigates the fallen royal’s descent from palace insider to embattled exile, and the latest mounting revelations that some think will see her behind bars. *Connect with 7NEWS Spotlight online* Visit 🔗https://7news.com.au/spotlight 7NEWS Spotlight Podcast 🎧 http://smarturl.it/7NewsSpotlight Facebook https://www.facebook.com/7newsSpotlight/ Instagram https://instagram.com/7newsSpotlight/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@7news.spotlight 7NEWS combines the trusted and powerful news brands, including Sunrise, The Morning Show and 7NEWS.com.au, delivering unique, engaging and continuous coverage on the issues that matter most to Australians.
