According to his own testimony, his grandfather emigrated to the African country “to use it as a base to explore” in his profession as a chiropractor and pilot in his spare time. However, Elon Musk’s father, Errol, has a rather different version of events: “My ex-wife’s parents came to South Africa from Canada because they sympathised with the Afrikaner government.
