Elon Musk Meets Father For First Time In 7 Years: “The Family Cried”
In a poignant moment at the historic launch of SpaceX’s Starship, Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and the world’s richest man, reunited with his father, Errol Musk, after seven years of estrangement. The emotional meeting took place at Boca Chica, Texas, during the monumental Starship launch, the largest rocket ever built by SpaceX.
The reunion, attended by Errol Musk, his ex-wife Heidi, and granddaughter Cora, marked a significant turning point in the father-son relationship. Despite past tensions, the Musk family set aside their differences, sharing tears of joy as they embraced after a prolonged separation.
Heidi Musk, Elon’s mother, described the encounter as a “touching moment,” highlighting the family’s genuine happiness at the unexpected reunion. The Musk family members were visibly moved, with Heidi expressing that “the family cried” during the heartfelt meeting.
The last time the Musk family gathered was in 2016 for Errol’s 70th birthday celebration. The unexpected invitation to the Starship launch brought father and son together, with Elon and Errol engaging in heartfelt conversations as though no time had passed.
While the launch of the Starship was an ambitious venture for SpaceX, the day will be remembered not only for the spacecraft’s exploration into space but also for the emotional reconnection of the Musk family.
