Elon musk's dad says killing 3 men stopped daughter being eaten and decapitated

THE FATHER OF ELON MUSK ONCE KILLED THREE INTRUDERS WHO HE FOUND IN HIS PROPERTY WHILE HIS SIX-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS TAKING A BATH - AND HE SAID HE SAVED HIS LITTLE GIRL FROM A GRISLY FATE

LIAM MCINERNEY Content Editor 10:48, 20 May 2025Updated 12:16, 20 May 2025 The dad of billionaire Elon Musk has opened up about shooting three men to death – claiming it saved his daughter

from being abducted, murdered and cannibalised. Errol Musk, 79, killed intruders at one of his properties in Sandton, Johannesburg, in 1998. And he has now said they would have murdered his

daughter, Ali, then six, before boiling her head and eating her body parts. The engineer and businessman visited the rental property with Ali to check on painting work that was being done

before new tenants moved in. He explained that during that time, it was best to be armed in Johannesburg so brought along his .357 Magnum revolver, putting it on a high ledge before running

a bath for his daughter. As for the bloodbath that unfolded next, he said: “I heard some noise up in the lounge. It was quite a big ranch style house and I went up to the lounge and in the

lounge were, my memory is not entirely sure, but about seven or eight men.” The lights were on because they had been looking at the paintwork. Errol said one of the men at the front had a

jacket and tie on and looked smarter than the rest. Article continues below Errol asked “can I help you” while wondering how the men got through the electric fence that surrounded the

property. And speaking on the Anything Goes with James English podcast, he continued: “He brought up his left arm, I presumed he wanted to shake hands, he had a black jacket on and I saw his

hand come up, but then I saw the sparks come from his hands and he fired a weapon at me with his left hand more or less from the hip. “I probably ducked or dived or did something. For 20

years I did karate so I have reactions and I can react quite quickly. Anyway, I must have reacted, and the bullet went past me into a glass door which came crashing down. “I ran down to the

passage to get my gun, I went to the bathroom, grabbed my gun, and as they came down the passage, I took out the guy with the tie, the one who shot me to the head. And that bullet went into

the chap behind him as well.” He said there was then a standoff before another man fired at him. He described how it would have struck his chest, but instead it clattered into a folding

door. Errol also fired a shot in return, striking him in the hip, which proved to be fatal. In total, Errol claimed 52 bullets were fired his way, while he only blasted two shots in

response, which managed to kill three of the men. After hitting one man in the hip, the intruders fled, and Errol and his daughter, Ali, who had clung on to him, escaped through windows that

had been shot out before getting help on the street. He was initially charged with manslaughter but was acquitted for acting in self-defense. And opening up about what would have happened

if he had not been armed during the intrusion, he painted a dark picture. He said: “Well, I would have just been killed outright. Ali, they would have turned into muti, you know, they would

have eaten her. It means if you eat a finger or something then you have luck for life, you know.” Asked to explain further, he added: “The police said to me that if they would have killed

her, they would have used her for muti - it is medicine, witchcraft. “Her head would have been dangling from a taxi mirror, they boil the head until it is shrunk, and they hang it from a

taxi mirror.” Days after the shooting, Errol and his daughter attended a counselling session, and he claimed Ali was questioned on how she felt about the shooting. And asked why she was

“fine” over it, she apparently said: “Well, my dad won.” Errol, who lost hearing in his right ear because of the blasts, said they never returned for further counselling. But he acknowledged

the shooting did have an impact on Ali for years to come, once her memories returned. He added: “She endured the whole thing stark naked for the next hour and a half as I carried her

through the streets with no clothes on. “She was just clung to me, six-years-old naked, her clothes were all in the bathroom. She was very good, she did not cry or scream or anything and we

managed to get out into the garden away from the house and I was able to tell her, ‘Just keep quiet, don’t say anything, just lie flat.’” Article continues below Tesla CEO Elon meanwhile has
