Elon Musk's dad says he is proud of his son after all and that he initially said he wasn't because he misheard the interviewer's question

• In a recent interview, Elon Musk's dad, Errol, said he wasn't proud of the billionaire because their whole family has done "a lot of things for a long time."

• In an interview with The Daily Mail published Friday, Errol walked back his remarks, saying he actually is proud of Elon.

• Errol said he initially said no because he misheard the question: "I thought she asked, 'Were you expecting this coming?'"

Elon Musk's dad says he is, in fact, proud of his son, despite his previous claim to the contrary.

In an interview earlier this week on Australia's "The Kyle and Jackie O Show," 76-year-old Errol Musk was asked if he's proud of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

Errol responded, "No, well, you know, I mean, we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time. It's not as though we suddenly started doing something."

Errol went on to say Kimbal, Elon's younger brother, is his "pride and joy," though he added, "But Elon has in fact sort of really surpassed the mark."
