Elon Musk’s mom Maye, 76, shows off fit figure and praises flexitarian diet she began because she was broke from divorce

Musk says she began dieting due to not being able to afford chicken or beef

The diet has been described as one that prioritizes plant-based foods while consuming meat in moderation.

Maye, who is the mother of Tesla founder and X CEO Elon Musk, has led a modeling career for the last 50 years.

“When I got divorced [in 1979], I couldn’t afford to buy meat, fish or chicken,” Musk told Fox Digital.

“So I had to feed my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren bean stew. And as they say, they did get tired of my bean stew. But I did vary from it. I used different beans and lots of vegetables.”

“[I also gave them] fruits in season. Of course, we could never have afforded organic or anything like that,” she continued.

“You [also] get whole wheat bread … in South Africa, brown bread was subsidized by the government. White bread was more expensive, so we only ate brown bread. And of course, it kept us all in good health. And then we had cereal and fruit in the morning.”

Musk recalled at one point that Elon once desired Coco Puffs but the only thing she had available was Raisin Bran.

“Well, the thing is, Coco Pops were more expensive and less nutritious, so that’s what [my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren] got,” Mush laughed.

“And if they complained, I didn’t listen. And then [my daughter] Tosca said she always wanted apricot jam, but that was more expensive than strawberry jam. So she didn’t get that either. And then [my son] Kimbal said, ‘I left home to go to university because I was tired of your bean stew.’”

Musk stated that she really doesn’t like to cook intricate meals and is primarily a vegetarian.

“Some people just don’t like cooking and that’s OK. You just eat the foods you like. I eat mainly vegetarian at home,” she said.

Musk told the outlet that her fridge is stocked with fruits and vegetables, which according to her, is essential for when you get older.

“I eat very well,” she explained.

“To me, to keep a body healthy and skin glowing, you have to eat well. That keeps me in good health… [When my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren visit], we usually send out for meat, fish, or chicken. Tosca and Kimbal really love cooking. So I always have delicious home-cooked meals.”

Despite her rigorous diet, Musk says she is not above indulging in something sweet.

“it would usually be something sweet because I love desserts,” she admitted.

“But I have managed it. I used to overdo it… I was the first plus-size model in South Africa in my 30s because I’d been through stressful times.”

Musk’s hard work in maintaining her diet has visibly paid off.

In a recent Instagram post, the model can be seen flaunting her figure while vacationing on Ios Island in Greece.

One picture shows the model lying on a raft while floating in the pool.

“Am I having fun on Ios Island or what,” Musk captioned the post.
