“Touching moment”: Elon Musk meets his father after 7 long years, family cries

A heartwarming moment occurred last week when SpaceX’s founder Elon Musk, got back in touch with his father, Errol Musk, during the Starship’s launch. The Sun claims that the reunion happened at Boca Chica in Texas. Errol Musk, along with his granddaughter Cora and ex-wife Heide, attended the launch. According to the outlet, Elon Musk is meeting his father for the first time in seven years. Starship is the biggest rocket ever constructed, and it was one of SpaceX’s largest launches.

Despite their long-standing strained relationship, the father and son managed to set aside their differences and get to know one another.

According to The Sun’s report, Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal celebrated their father’s 70th birthday with him in 2016, which was the last time they were seen together.

Errol Musk expressed his surprise at receiving the invitation to the launch, it was added.

“The family cried. It was pretty emotional stuff. Errol was very happy to see Elon, and Elon appeared very happy to see his father,” Heidi told The Sun.

The father and son talked for a considerable amount of time, according to Heidi, who called it a “touching moment”.

The Starship spacecraft entered space for the first time with this launch. However, eight minutes after takeoff, it exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.
