Elliot Rush Musk

Elliot Rush Musk, nicknamed Rushi, was born in 2017. He is the son of Errol Musk and Jana Bezuidenhout, who is the daughter of Errol’s former wife. This unusual family connection made headlines years later, as it meant Elliot is both the child of Elon Musk’s father and the stepdaughter of his former wife.

Elliot’s existence was not widely publicized at the time of his birth, but it became known later, further straining the already difficult relationship between Elon Musk and his father. When Elon discovered the news about Elliot, he was deeply upset and even stopped the $2,000 monthly allowance he had been sending to his father. However, after Errol threatened to take his own life, Elon eventually resumed the financial support.

In 2019, Jana Bezuidenhout and Errol Musk had another child, a daughter, making Elliot Rush the older brother within this branch of the family. Errol Musk, at the time 77 years old, openly stated his belief that the purpose of life is reproduction, reflecting his willingness to continue expanding his family despite his age.

Elliot Rush’s story is tied closely to the complex and often controversial family dynamics of the Musk family, highlighting the tensions and unconventional relationships within one of the world’s most famous families.
