The Remarkable Life of Maye Musk: Elon Musk's Inspiring Mother
2023-07-19
[Blinkist Mag] Maye Musk, the sensational mother of tech mogul Elon Musk, has not only been a guiding force in his life but has also left an indelible mark on his achievements. In this article, we explore the inspiring story of Maye Musk and the profound impact she has had on Elon’s extraordinary career.

Maye Musk: From a Renowned Model Into a Single Mother Maye Musk is currently 75 years old. Born in Regina, Canada, in 1948, is much more than just Elon Musk’s mother. A talented and accomplished woman, she is a distinguished model, nutritionist, and author.

At the age of 15, she started modeling, and in 1969, she was a finalist in the Miss South Africa beauty competition. One year later, in 1970, she married Errol Musk, a South African engineer with whom she had 3 children: Elin, Kimbal, and Tosca. In 1979, they divorced after the law allowed it, and continued raising her 3 kids as a single mom. She struggled with 5 jobs at the same time to pay rent and buy food. The reason for the divorce was not publicly disclosed, but in 2019 in her book "A Woman Makes a Plan" she implied it was an abusive relationship.

While Elon Musk’s net worth positions him among the world’s wealthiest individuals, it is crucial to note that his massive success comes primarily from his exceptional entrepreneurial ventures rather than his family’s wealth.

#2  Elon's mum started modelling at age 15? Pics please or it didn't happen. But you must admit he was raised right though.

#1  Off the "kick-ass mothers and unworthy limericks" pile...

From a world where a girl in her wrath
Shocked Mom in that glass-bottomed bath,
Dissolving her troubles
Like so many bubbles,
Passed lively old Sylvia Plath,
Leaving shelves of light verse in her path.

Hollywood version, like.
