Errol Musk
editI previously created a page for Errol Musk. At the time there were reliable sources about him:
- https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3181794/meet-elon-musks-controversial-father-errol-tesla-ceo (about the subject)
- https://buffalonews.com/business/local/exploring-the-otherworldly-ambitions-of-elon-musk/article_2fc57479-93eb-5016-b724-016b48a4f4f3.html (significant coverage, being 8 mentions)
- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/elon-errol-musk-children-stepdaughter-b2123744.html (about the subject)
- https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a40621623/errol-musk-fathered-child-with-stepdaughter/ (about the subject)
- https://web.archive.org/web/20150703011435/https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2015/07/02/how-to-raise-a-billionaire-an-interview-with-elon-musks-father-errol-musk/
The article was discussed for deletion and the consensus was that he was not sufficiently notable at the time, and the article was re-directed to Musk family
Since then, there has been more coverage of him:
- https://people.com/human-interest/who-is-errol-musk-elon-musk-father/ (identified by wikipedia as a reliable source)
- https://www.indy100.com/showbiz/errol-musk-elon-penis-kiis (despite the tabloid tone, the Independent is listed as a reliable source, with caution advised for recent articles) similar article here: https://www.indy100.com/celebrities/errol-musk-stepdaughter-pregnant-why and five mentions here: https://www.independent.co.uk/space/elon-musk-made-money-rich-b2212599.html
- https://elpais.com/gente/2022-06-03/el-padre-de-elon-musk-dice-que-la-ambicion-de-su-hijo-se-debe-a-la-educacion-austera-que-recibio-fui-un-padre-estricto.html El País appears to be a good source
- https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/lifestyle/20220715171221-33-356070/ayah-elon-musk-punya-bayi-dari-hubungan-dengan-putri-tirinya 17 mentions here
I post here to see if people would agree that he is notable, just as almost every other person on this page is (i.e. Justine Musk, Kimbal Musk, Maye Musk, Tosca Musk etc) CT55555 (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Errol
editI have a concern that Errol doesn't have a wikipedia page. It seems to be intentionally vague. We should strive to have all knowledge on wikipedia, even if it offends rich white men. 68.117.133.190 (talk) 16:32, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Is a 500 year lineage notable?
editEvery human being has a 500 year lineage. I mean come on why is this an article? No one is mentioned but current Musk relatives. This reads like a vanity page. Why does this page exist other than to puff up the Musk family? 2603:8081:8700:687D:781D:8412:8C5:6E0E (talk) 15:25, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- It's because somehow they're trying to skip the South African part of the linneage. Southernhemisphere (talk) 02:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
Why does this article exist?

Afrikaner descent?
editI see this assumed a lot, given the confusion over another sort of ‘Dutch’ on his mother’s side and being a white South African, but his paternal ancestors going back three generations all have Anglo names. Does anyone have specific evidence of an Afrikaner ancestor? Otherwise I will removed the unsourced claim. Harsimaja (talk) 16:09, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress
editThere is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Family of Elon Musk which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 22:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
