Elon Musk is one of the most talked about figures in the tech world. But is he actually Asian? To answer this question, it’s important to look at Musk’s background and heritage. <\/p>\n

Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to a South African father and a Canadian mother. His mother, Maye Musk, is believed to have some Dutch and Russian ancestry, and she has been quoted saying that she is half British. Elon himself has cited Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.<\/p>\n

So, if we’re going strictly off of background and heritage, the answer is no: Elon Musk is not Asian. It’s also worth noting that his father, Errol Musk, is a South African engineer and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

When it comes to cultural influences, however, it turns out that Musk’s upbringing was largely influenced by his father’s business endeavors. Errol Musk had business dealings in Malaysia and Singapore, and as a result, Elon attended private school and lived in both countries.<\/p>\n
