Elon Musk's father claims son is politically centrist despite Trump support

Elon Musk's father, Errol, claims his son is not as politically right-wing as he appears. In a recent interview, Errol described Elon as "dead center" politically, despite Elon’s visible support for Donald Trump and Republican campaigns. Errol praised Elon as "sensible" and "smarter than anybody I have ever met." He expressed ongoing support for his son, even as their relationship remains strained, with Elon previously calling Errol a "terrible human being." The two have a complicated history, with Elon stating there is no hope for reconciliation. Errol has suggested that Elon needs to mature and has characterized his son's behavior as a "tantrum."
