WASHINGTON: Elon Musk’s father Errol spilled some tea on his son’s political stance during an interview on The Times of London radio show, reported Hindustan Times.
Despite Elon’s recent appearances on the campaign trail and his open support of Donald Trump, Errol insists, “Elon is secretly not right wing.’ Yes, according to the elder Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX mogul isn’t exactly waving the far-right flag, even as he hosts million-dollar voter lotteries that are now catching the eye of the Philadelphia DA. Errol Musk, 78, spoke highly of his son, describing Elon as “sensible” and “smarter than anybody I have ever met,” just days after Elon’s mother criticised Kamala Harris and cautioned women about being “brainwashed.”
In an interview with hosts Jane Garvey and Fi Glover, Errol stated, ‘Elon is dead center’ politically, emphasising that he is in the middle of the political spectrum and that neither he nor Donald Trump align with the far-right. He noted that while discussions between him and his son don’t frequently focus on US politics, he believes Elon is “doing the right thing” and expressed his ongoing support for him, according to the Mirror.
