Elon Musk ’s father Errol Musk has shared an advice for his son. According to a report by Al-Arabiya English, Errol Musk advised his son Elon to “stay silent” and concentrate on his businesses, especially Tesla . He acknowledged that politics can be complicated, with “tempers flare” and “human behavior is so complicated,” and suggested it’s better for Elon to stay focused on what he does best—running his companies. Errol also expressed his surprise over the Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s feud with US President Donald Trump . He said: “As far as President Trump going against Elon, I can't really understand what is going on. It makes no sense to me at all.”


Errol also expressed his optimism despite the rising tension between the two. He said: “Something good will come out of this, I'm pretty sure.”



Elon Musk’s father supports Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill


According to the report, Errol and Elon have different opinions about the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill. While the tech billionaire has been a vocal critique of Trump’s bill, Errol, on the other hand, supports it. Talking about the bill, Errol said “United States needs a lot of rebuilding…they need to spend money”.


The senior Musk also made a request to President Trump to “Listen to Elon,” adding that “He's not a fool”. At last, Musk’s father advised both Trump and Elon to “talk it out.”


Trump-Musk feud


The feud between Trump and Musk reignited after the tech billionaire criticized Trump’s new federal spending bill. So much so that he threatened to create a new political group, calling it the “America Party,” if the bill is passed by the Senate.


Trump responded by questioning Musk’s loyalty and criticizing electric vehicle mandates, which he called “ridiculous.” Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed [sic] me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
