In an extraordinary interview, Errol said he could "barely remember" Jana's mother Heide, despite the couple being married for 18 years and having two children together.

JOHN RAOUX/AP Tesla Motors chief Elon Musk, 46 branded his father ,Errol, 72, "evil" and "a terrible human being".

"I got my 30-year-old girlfriend Jana pregnant and we had a baby son, who is now 10 months old," he said. "Of course, I love him dearly, even though it wasn't planned. In my own cautious way I insisted on a DNA test to ensure he was mine."

Heide, his second wife, was a widow with three young children when she met Errol.

He also called out his son, saying he was "emotionally fragile" and claiming that he held grudges.

"Elon needs to grow up," Errol told the Daily Mail.

"He needs to get over himself. I'm not going to hit back. I'm going to wait until he comes to his senses. He's having a tantrum, like a spoilt child. He can't have what he wants and now I am apparently an evil monster."

Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and Space X, is rumoured to be worth more than $20 billion. He had not spoken to his father in 18 months. It is rumoured that his father's relationship with his stepdaughter triggered the feud.

He has described this childhood in an interview with Rolling Stone as 'painful and isolated', overshadowed by an absentee father who derided his eldest son's budding scientific brilliance.

However, Errol has countered this story, saying that he always supported his son's endeavours. Errol has said in interviews that Elon took it personally when he decided to move back to South Africa in 2004, after Elon had taken them to the US.

Elon had five sons with his first wife, author Justine Wilson, before they separated in 2008.

In 2010, he married English actress Talulah Riley. The couple divorced in 2012 - only to remarry in 2013. In December 2014 Musk filed for a second divorce from Riley, which was later withdrawn. Riley then filed for divorce in 2016, with the divorce finalised later that year.

More recently, he dated actress and ex-wife to Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, with the relationship lasting one year.

Elon Musk recently made headlines after he deleted his rocket company SpaceX's verified Facebook page after being challenged to do so on Twitter.

Facebook has been in damage control after it was revealed that it exposed data on 50 million Facebook users to a researcher who worked at Cambridge Analytica, which worked for Donald Trump's election campaign.
