Without fulltext access to the paywalled Afrikaans sources, I wasn't sure we could do justice to an actual biography of his life at this time -- most of the English-language sources merely document his controversial relationships with son, wife, and step-daughter-turned-wife.

That is not how Wikipedia works. I would name it Errol Musk, make a Personal life section, and call the article a stub (incomplete, work in progress). Hikeddeck (talk) 01:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Generally for a page to be notable, it has to be independently notable. Errol Musk is not in any way notable other than his relation to Elon Musk. Ergzay (talk) 01:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Errol Musk is not in any way notable other than his relation to Elon Musk That's demonstrably false: His political career (72-83) was covered extensively. e.g: "Reaction against the Establishment." (9 Mar 1972) Pretoria News, and "The reported resignation of Errol Musk, the PFP candidate for Sunnyside (Pretoria) election the 1981 elections was made a front-page story. Die Burger. 4 October 1983." Feoffer (talk) 05:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Oppose "Musk family" can and does refer to Musk deer, the Moschidae [1], and perfumers also use it to refer to scents developed/derived/evolved/synthensized from musk [2] of musk deer. It is better with the current disambiguation with "Elon" -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 05:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I suspect that this article is being watched by people dying to revert edits, so that's why I'm posting this here and not making the edits myself, but the surname is used 215 times in this article (including in titles), and in a number of places it's very difficult to know which "Musk" is being referred to. "Musk said this," "Musk did that"; which Musk?! If both parties are named Musk, surely first names need to be used. I'm not familiar with many articles about families (although I know they exist) but, if Errol said X about Elon, or Elon said Y about Maye, surely their first names (alone) need to be used for clarity. --24.80.199.58 (talk) 03:18, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
