Inside the glamorous lifestyle of Elon Musk’s mother, Maye, from international model to best-selling author at 74

ELON Musk’s mother, Maye, has lived a glamorous lifestyle, going from an international modeling career to becoming a best-selling author.

Now 74 and a grandmother of 12, Maye apparently has no intention of slowing down after her 50-year career as a high fashion model.

Maye started modeling at the age of 15. Since then, she has become the oldest Covergirl and appeared on several Times Square billboards in her 60s.

During her career, she walked for Dolce and Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week in 2019 and posed for the covers of Time Magazine and Vogue.

She is known for her elegant style, joining Elon at this year’s Met Gala wearing a stunning dress with several pearl necklaces on her neck.

She also looked stunning on Friday night during the Season 3 premiere of Passionflix’s Driven, which is directed by her only daughter, Tosca. She took to the red carpet in a semi-sheer light blue dress with a matching cape and strappy heels.

YOUTH

Maye was born in Canada but her family moved to South Africa soon after. There, she became a runner-up in the Miss South Africa Beauty pageant.

She studied dietetics and nutritional sciences to earn two master’s degrees, using her knowledge to write a book to help others.

As a dietician, she regularly lectures and presents around the world on entrepreneurship, aging, gender equality, single parenthood, challenges, confidence and health.

Her book “A Woman Makes A Plan, Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success” is now in over 100 countries with more to come.

Her hard work paid off and earned her the Outstanding Nutrition Entrepreneur Award, according to her website.

LIFE AFTER MARRIAGE

After marrying Errol Musk in 1970, she had three children with him.

When she divorced in 1979, she brought Elon, Kimbal and Tosca Musk back to Canada to raise them as a single mother.

Maye shows no signs of slowing down; in 2018 she said Forbes that she was impatiently awaiting the milestone of 70 years.

“I feel like things are going to really take off in my 70s,” she said.

She recently berated her son Elon on Twitter for tweeting about “dying under mysterious circumstances” on Mother’s Day.

The 50-year-old Tesla founder launched his tweet on Sunday after apparently receiving a chilling message in Russian media.

Musk shared a message suggesting Moscow space chief Dmitry Rogozin attacked the use of his Starlink satellite equipment in Ukraine.

He added: “If I die in mysterious circumstances, it’s good to know you.”

But Maye replied, “It’s not funny.”
