"I own about 27 to 30 percent of Tesla.”

"Elon is very empathetic.”

"They criticise him, but he got some money from his parents, he turned himself into a billionaire. You can't, I'd rather be with somebody took a little bit of money from his parents and turn it into a billion, billions of dollars."

I've actually killed three people who broke into our house. It was self-defence.”

"He's not a smooth looking guy like you (Rob), you look like one of these guys, all thrown over. Elon is a sort of a nerdy sort of guy. You know, he never quite knows what to say. He's not a smooth guy at all, you know?"

0:00.0	Errol, what does the world not know about Elon Musk's father?
0:06.0	I think the world seems to know everything about me. From what I read, you know, yeah, I don't know.
0:13.0	They seem to, anyway, the thing is, you must believe everything you read, you know, people, you know,
0:20.0	you know, I was talking to Swiss TV on Friday I think it was and you know they was
0:27.7	French so it was easier and you know I was saying to them they brought up the thing they know that
0:36.0	Elon had once said that I am evil that was to do with me supporting Trump by the way
0:41.8	and and then Elon's mother who I had a very
