Elon Musk has been criticized by his father, Errol Musk, for his poor parenting amid news that the billionaire mogul has allegedly welcomed his 13th child.

The tech mogul was described as not being a "good dad" by Errol, who added that he pushes off the responsibility of parenting to his many nannies.

In the meantime, Elon Musk has yet to confirm that he has indeed welcomed his 13th child but has still found himself hit by claims of "ghosting" from the alleged baby mama, Ashley St. Clair.

During an appearance on the "Wide Awake" podcast, Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, claimed his son has poorly performed as a father to his kids.

"He hasn't been a good dad," the 79-year-old admitted about his son, who has welcomed 12 kids and an alleged 13th in over two decades, per Page Six.

Speaking further about his son's underwhelming parental skills, Errol shared that the billionaire mogul left all the work to nannies and wasn't even there when his first child died at 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

"The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny," the businessman said of Elon and his first ex-wife, Justine Wilson's firstborn.

He added, "Elon's gonna shoot me for saying this, but that's what I think. That's no good. They were too rich, too many nannies."

As the interview continued, Errol revealed more about his tech mogul son's use of nannies, disclosing that they had a dozen on their payroll when he divorced Wilson.

"When they got divorced [in 2008], the nannies were six on this side and six on that side," Errol shared.

According to the businessman, each of the children the former couple shared had their own nannies, adding that it felt like a "really weird situation" at the time.

He also revealed that Elon "didn't spend enough time with" his kids, even now that he has added more to the brood from other women.

Currently, Elon shares twins Griffin and Vivian and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian with his ex-wife Wilson.

Days after Errol's bombshell revelation, right-wing writer Ashley St. Clair shocked the world by announcing that she had welcomed a child with Elon.

However, just hours after the news broke, she revealed that Elon had completely ghosted her despite her reaching out multiple times.

She also claimed that she had been working on an agreement with Elon "privately" regarding their child's upbringing and now needs him to follow through to finalize it.

"We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley to end unwarranted speculation," said Brian Glicklich, a representative of St. Clair on X (formerly Twitter).

He added, "Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share."

Glicklich also told TMZ that St. Clair remains strong and focused and is hoping for a response from the billionaire.

While announcing the news of the child, St. Clair claimed it was not her initial intention to do so but felt compelled to go public to get ahead of tabloids that were preparing to break the story.

"I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause," St. Clair shared at the time.

At the time, she also revealed that she welcomed the child five months ago and confirmed that Elon is the father.

Meanwhile, Elon has yet to confirm the news, only responding with "Whoa" under an X post about St. Clair seemingly chasing after him for years.
