Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, has been called 'sick' after dredging up a completely ludicrous conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama during a recent podcast appearance.
Speaking to Joshua Rubin on the Wide Awake podcast, Errol - who made headlines for fathering two children with his stepdaughter - brought up a ridiculous allegation about the former first lady and her husband Barack Obama, and people have been left horrified online.
"Obama is a queer married to a man who dresses as a woman, we've all learnt that, it's common knowledge," claimed Errol.
Rubin was pretty taken aback by the comment, but Errol insisted: "Of course, you don't know that? Now you know... it's common knowledge, Michelle Obama is a man, obviously."

People were horrified by Errol's comment, with one person writing: "Elon Musk's father had a child with his own step daughter so whatever he thinks about Michelle Obama means nothing to anyone."
While another said: "This is Errol Musk, Elon Musk father the same guy that raised a stepdaughter from the age of 4 and then had two children with her, casually saying that it’s common knowledge that Obama is a queer married to a man, Michelle Obama."
And a third added: "How would he know?"
Meanwhile a fourth commented: "Elon Musk’s father talking s**t about Michelle Obama, when Errol Musk had a child with his step daughter who he had raised since she was 4 years old. So sick, right?"

It's not the first time Errol has made some outlandish claims.
Just this week, the 79-year-old caused widespread fury over his comments about women.
In 2017, Errol fathered his stepdaughter's children after raising her since she was four years old.

Errol previously explained that he and Jana began their relationship while he 'helped her get over a breakup'.
Jana is 41 years younger than Errol and was believed to be in her late twenties when she became pregnant with son, Rushi.
In a recent interview, Errol spoke about the moment he found out he had fathered his stepdaughter's child.
He explained: "When she came here for three weeks we spent a lot of time together and we just got on terribly well.

"Then she left. A couple of months later, she called me and said she needs to see me, so she came, we sat out there and she sat there and she showed me a scan.
"She said, 'I'm pregnant'. I'm not sure what I said exactly but I'm pretty sure I said 'it's not me'. So she said, 'it is you', so I said I didn't really believe that because that's standard story from women, you know."
People were left furious, with a listener writing: "Sleeping with your own stepdaughter and then having the audacity not to believe her, when you literally RAISED HER."

While another said: "'Standard story from women' this man irks me."
And a third added: “'Standard story from women' - the man who slept with his stepdaughter 40 years his junior."
