I don't fully believe that he was "influenced" by his father.
His father was murdered by the KKK when Malcolm was only six. Maybe his death may have inspired Malcolm later on down the road in his life, but to say that his Father influenced Malcolm in anyway way while he was alive wouldn't be a true statement.
We know that Malcolm eventually follows down the footsteps of his father in a sense that he is a leader and an eloquent speaker during his time. They were both murdered because of the fact that their enemies didn't like the idea that they could influence the ideas of the black masses.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree at all in this case. However, I believe Malcolm got his influences from Islam itself, and used that love for Islam to preach his mind.
He was a baptist

Elijah Muhammad influenced Malcolm x because he was the Muslim that made him want to be a Muslim and he was also a preachier. and later in life he became what he was.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X as Told to Alex Haley was written by Alex Haley. However, it is based on notes Alex Haley took while collaborating with Malcolm X, is written in first person as though Malcolm X was telling his life, and he read and edited all drafts of the chapters written by Haley. It also includes an Epilogue written by Haley from his perspective, detailing his collaboration with Malcolm X and the last two years of Malcolm X's life from Haley's point of view.
