Elon Musk’s father told how he killed 3 men who entered his house: “I blew his head off the first one”

Errol Musk, father of the billionaire Elon Musk, told The Sun how he killed three men who broke into the house he rented in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1998.

One of his daughters, Alexandra -or Ali-, who was 6 years old at the time, witnessed the shooting. “She was by my side the whole time. He clung to me like a monkey, but kept silent. He didn’t scream or cry,” she claimed.

According to his account, seven men entered the house while the girl was taking a shower and allegedly shot him when they saw him, but he managed to save himself from the shots and ran to the master bedroom, where he had a magnum with which he confronted the criminals.

“I killed three. A bullet went through two of them,” she recounted.

“The first guy I blew his head off. Police found him without the top”, he stated in his statement. Shrapnel from that same round “hit the guy behind him in the chest,” he added.

The rest of the criminals fled and only one remained in the residence of Elon Musk’s father.

“We both fired at the same time. I hit him in the groin and I thought he hit me. I looked down to see where I was shot” but didn’t feel any injuries, he said.

He later discovered that the bullet was embedded in an aluminum frame, “otherwise it would have hit me square in the chest,” he explained.

The wounded criminal was found lifeless, outside the house, by the Police, who arrived at the site an hour and a half after the shooting.

The Elon Musk’s dad He assured that he lost his hearing on the right side due to that exchange of shots and that, although he was charged with involuntary manslaughter for the incident, he was acquitted because he acted in self-defense.

He also asserted that his daughter Ali told a psychologist that he felt good “because my dad won.”

Elon Musk has referred to his father as a “terrible human being” who “just about every bad thing you could think of, he’s done.”
