Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has stirred controversy with bizarre claims about former U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Errol Musk’s Shocking Remarks on the Obamas
During an appearance on Joshua Rubin’s ‘Wide Awake Podcast’, Errol Musk made the unfounded claim that Michelle Obama is a man and Barack Obama is "queer."
“We realized Obama is a queer who is married to a man who dresses as a woman. We all learned that. It’s not common knowledge,” Errol said.
A bewildered host responded, “Michelle Obama is a man?” to which Errol replied, "Of course, you don’t know that?"
Referencing a Conspiracy Theory from 2014
Errol Musk cited a conspiracy theory that first surfaced in 2014, when comedian Joan Rivers joked about Michelle Obama's gender. He alleged that Obama is "gay" and suggested a connection between Rivers' death and her comments.
“Joan Rivers mentioned it publicly and she was dead two weeks later. They axed her, yeah. So that’s common knowledge. You can look it up anywhere,” Errol claimed.
However, there is no evidence to support this theory. Joan Rivers died on September 4, 2014, due to brain damage following complications from throat surgery.
Errol went on to make further crude and baseless remarks, stating:
“And yeah, Michelle Obama is a man, obviously. They have pictures of her in tracksuits with her 9-inch schlong hanging down... it’s leg.”
Criticism of Elon Musk’s Parenting
During the same podcast, Errol Musk criticized his son, Elon Musk, calling him "not a good father."
When Rubin asked if he thought Elon was a good dad, Errol bluntly replied:
“No, he has not been a good dad.”
Referring to Elon’s first child, Nevada Alexander, who tragically passed away as an infant, Errol made another shocking remark:
“The baby was cared for too much by nannies and, sadly, passed away while under their watch. If Elon hears me saying this, he’s going to shoot me or something. But anyway, that’s what I think.”
Public Backlash and Fact-Checking
Errol Musk’s outlandish statements have drawn widespread criticism. His claims about the Obamas are entirely baseless, and there is no credible evidence to support his allegations.
Meanwhile, his comments about Elon Musk’s parenting have sparked mixed reactions, with many noting the strained relationship between the father and son.
Neither Elon Musk nor the Obamas have responded to these statements at this time.
