Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Wilson has seemingly called out her grandfather Errol in a series of deleted posts that labeled him an apparent “racist.”
Errol, who has two children with his former stepdaughter, spoke to The New York Times to clear the air after he called Elon a bad parent on a podcast a few days prior. In the interview, he claimed that he and the SpaceX founder were on good terms, and “always have been.”
The article only mentioned tidbits of Errol’s past—which Wilson quickly pointed out, although she does not specifically name him.
“If there is someone who has kids with his stepdaughter, has murdered people, and is a huge f---ing racist, (alongside many other things I can’t say publicly), maybe don’t give them a f---ing platform & maybe don’t repeat what they have said,” she wrote to Threads in a now deleted post.
It was unclear what Wilson was referring to, although in 2017 Errol told Rolling Stone that he had been acquitted of manslaughter—not murder—charges after killing three alleged home intruders in a shootout in 1998. Errol was acquitted on self-defense grounds, he said. According to Rolling Stone, Errol “said that he has never intentionally threatened or hurt anyone.” He told The Sun in a 2022 interview that the incident took place at a rental property he owned in Johannesburg. The New York Times piece also mentions the incident.

“I do not care what he said, I do not care what he thinks, he is a complete f---ing psychopath and 99% of what he says is utter bulls--t. So don’t give him the time of day. That’s it. This is common sense,” Wilson wrote.
The Daily Beast attempted to reach Errol for comment.
Wilson, who is transgender, has been vocal about the Musk mob this past week, first claiming that she found out about her newest sibling (Musk’s supposed 13th child, with MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair) via Reddit.
She also seemingly reacted to text messages allegedly by Musk to St. Clair, where the billionaire said he wanted to impregnate the 26-year-old again.
Wilson’s relationship with Musk has remained estranged, with the Department of Government Efficiency head saying that the “woke mind virus” killed his transgender daughter.
