Elon Musk’s mother’s determination to rise from failure

Maye – billionaire Elon Musk’s mother – overcame 15 years of hardship, raised her š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren alone, and became a supermodel at the age of over 70.

Maye Musk was chosen as the cover girl forĀ TalerĀ China’s January issue. On January 23, she shared her fashion look with the magazine, in which Maye wore a red silk cape dress and a matching feathered hat.

At the age of 76, Maye Musk was recognized as a supermodel even though she had been a model since she was 15. Throughout her career, she has posed forĀ VogueĀ andĀ Time , starred in Beyonce’s music videos, and is the face of Revlon makeup. She is also a nutritionist, having published her first lifestyle guide –

When releasing her memoir about her 70 years of life in 2019, she said: “I used to accept misfortune, but luckily I was able to defeat fate in time and find joy in life again. Therefore, I want to share my own experience and inspire those who are lost.”

Maye Musk had many years of unhappiness and hardship. She married Erroll Musk in 1970 and had three š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren: Elon Musk, Kimbal Musk, and Tosca Musk. In a 2019 interview withĀ Harper’s BazaarĀ , both she and Elon accused Erroll of emotional abuse. “People who knew me called him a ‘pig’ because he treated me so badly in public. I was too scared to tell anyone I had made a mistake. He called me stupid, ugly, boring,” she said.

Maye Musk is famous for her luxurious and unconventional fashion sense.

According to Maye and Elon, Elon’s father was rich but stingy, often not buying clothes for his š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren. The couple divorced after nine years of marriage, when Elon Musk was eight years old, forcing the three of them into a life of poverty and hardship. Maye and her š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren moved from South Africa to Toronto, Canada. In later interviews, Maye often used the phrase “survival” when recalling the most difficult 15 years. She toldĀ VogueĀ : “For a long time after the divorce, I was heartbroken. I was extremely afraid that I could not raise my š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren. Those were difficult years. Alone with three small š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren and no income. I cried when they spilled milk because I had no more money to buy it.”

At the time, Maye was working five jobs to make ends meet. So her š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren could take free classes at the University of Toronto, she took a job as a lab assistant. The first thing she bought when she got her first paycheck was a rug, since their apartment was bare and bare. ā€œThe next thing I bought was a computer for Elon, so he could sit on the rug and use it,ā€ she toldĀ VogueĀ in 2015.

With no men in the house, Maye repaired everything herself. “My youngest daughter, Tosca, remembers the day I injured my hand from hammering a nail. She said, ‘Mommy, if your hand gets damaged, you can’t be a model anymore.'”

She also taught her š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren to be independent from an early age, applying for jobs for each of them, helping Elon Musk get a job at Microsoft early on, and helping her son Kimbal get a part-time job at a bank.

In a 2019 interview withĀ CNBCĀ , Maye Musk said she only tried to teach her š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren the basics of life: how to take care of themselves, be kind, compassionate, and polite. She didnā€™t treat them like š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren, didnā€™t scold them if they werenā€™t successful, never forced them to sit at a desk, and never checked their homework. According to her, Elon was a hard worker, but only studied subjects that interested him.

In addition to supporting her š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren in their work, in their eyes, she is also a thoughtful mother. During difficult times,Ā Elon MuskĀ and his brother once could not buy their mother a š›š¢š«š­š”day present. They gave her a toy house, a small car model, and said they would buy her a real one later. “That toy house is really what means the most to me,” Maye toldĀ TatlerĀ . Over the past few years, she has repeatedly argued with the Biden administration for ignoring Tesla’s role in leading the electric vehicle industry.
