Elon Musk had an "emotional" reunion with his father Errol as they met for the first time in seven years, a report said. The two reportedly met soon after the historic first successful launch of SpaceX’s Starship rocket last Saturday. Describing the reunion, Errol Musk's ex-wife Heide Musk told the Sun: "The family cried.
It was pretty emotional stuff. Errol was very happy to see Elon, and Elon appeared very happy to see his father. They immediately sat down at Elon's table next to one another and started talking as though no time had passed." "They spoke for a long time.
It was very touching for me and our daughters to see this. We were speechless," Heide was quoted by the report as saying. The report added that the father and son have had an often tense relationship over the years.
