Errol Musk detailed a significant rift with his son, Elon Musk, sparked by Errol's support for Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. The tension unfolded at Errol's 70th birthday celebration in South Africa, where high-profile guests, including Jon Favreau and major tech figures, were present. When Favreau queried Errol's endorsement of Trump, the room erupted in laughter, catching both Errol and Elon by surprise. Errol justified his support by likening Trump to himself—someone involved in property development and not a career politician. However, Elon reacted strongly, condemning Trump as "evil" and confronting his father with fervent disapproval. This disagreement marked a temporary cooling of their relationship, though Errol admits they never addressed the subject afterward. Over time, their relationship shifted, and the estrangement gradually lessened.
