Elon Musk's dad has made a major accusation about his billionaire son and even went as far as to joke he'll 'get shot' for saying it.
Errol Musk, 79, has seven children including Musk and step-daughter Jana Bezuidenhout, who he impregnated twice despite the fact she was four years old when he started fathering her and a disturbing 41 years younger than him.
Now, it's no secret that Musk, 53, and Errol don't get on as the Tesla CEO has previously said that his father had done 'almost every evil thing you can possibly think of' and reportedly disowned his father since making the revelation.

A relative of the family also spoke to the Daily Mail, and said: "Errol got Jana pregnant. He is the father of her baby boy, but he was a father to her.
"The whole family was outraged when we found out. This is the reason why Elon is so angry with Errol.
"He is the only father she has ever known. And now he is the father of her child as well."
Errol, however, has now recently taken a swipe at Musk's own parenting.
Speaking to Joshua Rubin on the Wide Awake podcast, Errol didn't hold back when asked if his son - who reportedly has fathered over a dozen children of his own - was a good father.
Errol discussed the tragic passing of Musk's first child, Nevada Alexander, who died at the age of 10 weeks from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
He declared: "No, he hasn’t been a good father. The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny. If Elon hears this, he’s going to shoot me or something."
Errol continued: "Then he had five children, each one had their own nanny. It was a weird situation. He didn’t spend enough time with them."
He went on to claim that the amount of nannies only increased when Musk split from ex-wife Justine Wilson Musk, with whom he shares 20-year-old twins Griffin and Vivian as well as triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 19, and late son Nevada, who died in 2002.
"When they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side, six on that side," Errol said of their 2008 split. "It was really a weird situation."
Other than his six children with Justine, Musk went on to have three children with his ex-girlfriend, Grimes; X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus.
He also had three with his Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and reportedly another one with author Ashley St. Clair - the latter, however, has yet to be confirmed.
