Errol Musk described the situation as a normal reaction under pressure. “So you can expect something like this. You know, it’s not unusual,” he said, adding that the conflict came after “five months, continuous, continuous, continuous, stress, stress, stress.”
Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has downplayed the recent feud between his billionaire son and US President Donald Trump, calling it a result of “stress and fatigue”. Speaking to Russian media during a visit to Moscow, Errol suggested the clash was temporary and predicted the two men would soon reconcile.
“Give them a break,” he said during an interview with Russian newspaper Izvestia. “They’ve had to get rid of all the opposition, try and put the country back on track and… do normal things. They’re very tired and stressed.”
