Errol accused his family members of ‘putting the children up to say false things’ and of trying to extort Elon for money. In 2022, their son, then aged 5, said that he had been groped by his father, family members claimed. The New York Times said three police investigations were opened, referencing police and court records, as well as family members’ accounts. Family members also claimed that Elon began paying Errol’s former stepdaughter 30,000 rand (£1,287) a month since 2023.
