Billionaire Elon Musk revealed he and his brother, Kimbal, have footed the bill for their father’s life in South Africa ever since he “ran out of money in the 90s.”

“My brother & I financially supported him & his extended family in South Africa since then on condition that he not do bad things,” Musk tweeted Wednesday. “Unfortunately, he did do bad things.”
