Recently, Elon's Y-DNA was revealed to be O2b1 (O-F1150), which is East/Southeast Asian in origin. Elon's paternal great-grandfather according to the paper trail, Harry Musk, was born in England in 1863, however, there is no O2b1 in England except recent immigrants.

There is, however, a White South African family with O-M175, which O-F1150 is a subclade of. They descend from Jacobus Johannes Strydom (1814-1857). This line is itself an NPE line, most Strydoms are R1b-M269, which means that somewhere between Jacobus and the Strydom stamvader Joost, who arrived in South Africa in 1678, there was an NPE, with a male fathered by a man of paternal Asian origin receiving the surname Strydom despite not being a genetic Strydom.

So my theory is that either Elon's grandfather, Elon's father, or Elon himself was actually fathered by a member of this Strydom NPE line.
It seems more likely than Elon's British great-grandfather having undocumented Asian roots or Elon/his father/his grandfather being fathered by someone who was actually Asian (given their phenotypes).
