According to him, “it is very difficult not to feel admiration for Mr. Putin.”

Billionaire Elon Musk’s father has admitted that their entire family admires Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and considers him an example of a “strong leader.” Errol Musk said this in an interview with the BBC .

“As a family, we definitely admire Mr. Putin a little bit. It would be foolish not to admire him because he is always calm. I listen to his speeches – he says logical things. If you evaluate him as a man’s man, I’m not talking about relations between countries and so on, but simply as a man’s man, it is very difficult not to feel admiration for Mr. Putin,” he said.

According to Musk’s father, not only he thinks so, but also his son.

“We are the same, we all think the same. All this rhetoric – ‘don’t trust this man’ – all these people are trying to convince you that you shouldn’t trust Putin’s words. As a result, part of you thinks – I shouldn’t trust this man. But on the other hand, he is an example of a strong leader for me,” added Errol Musk.

Relationships in the Musk family

Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, has spoken out publicly about her father and stressed that she wants nothing to do with him. She said she hasn’t been in touch with her father since 2020 and has no plans to reconnect. Moreover, she said she gets annoyed whenever she’s associated with Musk.

According to her, the billionaire was so bad at Overwatch that he forced his children to “pull” him in ranked matches .
