Elliot Rush Musk is the half-brother of billionaire Elon Musk. He was born in 2017 to Errol Musk and his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout. Elliot came into the limelight when he was born because most netizens saw it as incest. At first, Errol denied responsibility but accepted later after the paternity test came out positive.
Elliot’s father noted that people are in this world to reproduce, including him. When Errol married Jana’s mother, Jana was four years old. Elliot has a younger biological sister.
The news of Errol impregnating Jana enraged Elon Musk since she was his step-sister. It is the reason for the hostility between Errol and his son Elon; they have not talked in a very long time. Errol’s other kids did not receive well the message of their father doing what he did to their sister.

After divorcing Heine, Elliot’s father started a romantic relationship with Jana Bezuidenhout; she became pregnant, and it was unplanned, giving birth to Elliot Rush Musk. To Errol Musk, it is normal for him to date his stepdaughter.
