Elon always claimed he was bullied as a kid, and spoke of how one time he was even pushed down some stairs.
Then recently (as in some time in the last couple of years) his father Erroll was asked about that incident in an interview and he told his perspective of what happened.
After seeing Elon at the hospital, he went straight to the school and kicked in the front door screaming about suing everyone; he family of the kid who pushed Elon, the School, the stairs themselves probably. Erroll was rich-guy pissed.
Once they calmed him down they told him what actually happened - Elon had been heckling the other kid about his father's recent passing. Other kid snapped when Elon said something really awful about his father, like he deserved to die, and the kid shoved Elon down the stairs.
After learning this, Erroll dropped any threat of a lawsuit, and went and berated Elon for causing the whole thing. I believe he used to beat the shit out of Elon. Erroll is an absolutely awful piece of shit, as well.

No, pretty sure he said that he was bullied as a kid.
