Unveiling Elon Musk’s British Heritage and Its Impact on His Life

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has recently uncovered his British family tree, tracing his roots to a working-class family from Liverpool. This revelation offers a fresh perspective on his heritage and its profound impact on his life.

Musk’s paternal grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, was born on August 16, 1923, in Liverpool’s Mossley Hill area. Although she grew up during the Great Depression and the World War II bombings, her resilience shaped the family’s legacy.

Cora’s father, John Robinson, a Liverpool-born stonemason, had moved to South Africa, where he married Breghie Elizabeth Theron. They returned to Liverpool before World War I. During the war, German bombings destroyed the family’s home in Mossley Hill, prompting their return to South Africa.

In 1944, Cora married Walter Musk, a South African soldier who joined British intelligence. Their son, Errol Musk, is the father of Elon Musk.

Elon Musk grew up in South Africa but was significantly influenced by his grandmother’s British roots, which impacted his values and worldview.

Leftist billionaires like Soros and Gates have spent years heavily influencing UK politics.

Elon Musk has British heritage.

He has EVERY RIGHT to get involved now.

A Family Divided by Time and Wealth

In Britain, Musk’s relatives, including Cora’s siblings, have had mixed feelings about their connection to him. Kenneth, Cora’s brother, settled in Lancashire. His son, Marshall Robinson, from Fleetwood, shared a terse interaction one family member had with Elon on social media.

Elon’s father, Errol, acknowledged their Liverpool connections and noted that some relatives grew up with The Beatles. However, Musk’s engagement with his British roots has been minimal.

"Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery.”

Musk has also said the British Empire "did a lot of good".

Musk’s Reflections on His Grandmother’s Influence

Elon Musk often credits his grandmother’s resilience and work ethic as major influences in his life. He recently shared, “My British grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, was an important part of my childhood. She was very strict but also kind, and I could always count on her. She grew up very poor in England during the Great Depression only to be bombed in WW2.”

As Musk continues to shape global technology and business, his reflections on his family’s journey from Liverpool to international prominence highlight a personal dimension to the tech mogul. His British heritage reminds us of the hardships and perseverance that laid the groundwork for his career.
