In an interview with The Telegraph, Maye Musk said that her son Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX and X, was a “genius” even at the age of three, reasoning with her and suggesting cheaper options while shopping. The 78-year-old model and dietitian, a citizen of Canada, South Africa and the US, married Errol Musk in 1970, gave birth to Elon in 1971 and divorced in 1979. Musk, who has appeared in fashion campaigns and on magazine covers, also appeared in Beyoncé’s 2013 music video for Haunted. At around the age of 10, Elon moved in with his father, who had a computer, a library and encyclopedias; according to his mother, although he found life there unpleasant, he had things to read.
Maye Musk described the criticism directed at her son over allegations of racism and white supremacy, as well as his support for AfD and Tommy Robinson, as “terrible”; she said negative reports and death threats upset her. She said that because Elon is extremely busy and unable to go out, Kimbal, Tosca and the family meet in secret locations, and that communication is difficult. She also said that he holds meetings every hour on weekends. Their latest gathering took place in June at a secret venue for Elon’s 55th birthday.
