Maye Musk opens up about her relationship with her son and her difficult marriage.
Maye Musk is a 74-year-old top model for whom life is smiling. PDO
The world’s richest man, the CEO of the technology companies Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, doesn’t really care about stuff, says mother Maye Musk. When Musk visits his son’s home in Texas, near the SpaceX headquarters in Boca Chica, the setting is ascetic, according to him.
– I have to sleep in the garage. You can’t have a nice house near a rocket launch complex, Musk describes In an interview with The Times.
Maye Musk, who is still working as a model at the age of 74, says that she herself is not interested in space travel or visiting Mars.
– But if my children want it, I’ll do it.
Musk is close to all three of his children. She has appeared with her first child, Elon, in public, such as last year’s Saturday Night Live Mother’s Day episode.
“A peculiar sense of humor”
The mother has shown her support for her children publicly also on the social media service Twitter. Some of Elon Musk’s tweets have caused a stir, but the mother assures that it is just a misunderstanding:
– He has a peculiar sense of humor, and he doesn’t always understand that others might not like it or understand it.
Elon Musk’s special joking was seen, for example, in March, less than a month after Russia started a war of aggression in Ukraine.
– I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to a duel. The stake is Ukraine, Musk wrote on Twitter.
“I started flying in business class at the age of 68”
Maye Musk opens up about her marriage to the father of her children in an interview To Errol Muskwhom Elon has described as a “terrible person” according to The Times.
– He yelled at me every day and said: “You are ugly. You are stupid. You’re boring.” I thought I can’t be that ugly, I’m a model. But I didn’t argue because he beat me.
When the Musks broke up in 1979, Elon was only 8 years old. Maye Musk moved from South Africa to Canada with three children and suffered from money problems.
– I was very afraid that I wouldn’t be able to feed my children.
Now the situation is different: according to The Times, Maye Musk’s son has a modest $270 billion, and Musk himself, who has become a top model, no longer suffers from a lack of money.
– I started flying in business class at the age of 68. Every time I’m excited to be in business class, Musk admits.
