The fan community in Edmonton, Canada, and around the world is shocked after an emergency notice from Maye Musk, the mother of billionaire Elon Musk, at 9:55 am on 13/5/2025, local time. At the age of 77, Maye, a model, nutritionist and famous author, shared on her official X account that her mother, Wyn Haldeman, is currently in a critical condition at a hospital in Edmonton. Although not disclosing specific details about the health status, this notice has sparked a wave of concerns and empathy from the followers, with thousands of comments expressing support within a few minutes, according to the post x from @mayemuskfans and @elonupdates.
Maye Musk, born in Regina, Saskatchewan, and raised in South Africa, often mentioned her mother, Wyn, as a great inspiration in her life. In autobiographyA Woman Makes a Plan(2019), Maye said that Wyn, a dancer and ballet teacher, gave her a resilient and independent spirit. Despite being over 100 years old, Wyn is still known for her dynamic lifestyle in Edmonton, where she lives near the Maye family. Maye’s emergency notice did not mention the specific cause, but some unofficial sources on X, such as @canadanewsnow, speculated that Wyn may be facing complications of old age or a recent stroke.
Maye’s announcement in the context of Musk’s family is attracting great attention. Just a few weeks ago, Maye shared the joy of becoming a grandmother when one of her grandchildren welcomed her first child, according to The Times of India. However, news of Wyn’s situation has overshadow that joy. Fans on X, like @teslafamily, sent prayers, while @edmontoncares called on the local community to respect the privacy of Musk’s family. Some people also share the story of Wyn’s generosity, such as her support for free ballet classes for children in Edmonton in the 1980s.
Edmonton, where Maye still maintained a close relationship, became the focus of attention. The mayor of the city, Amarjeet Sohi, sent a good wish to the Musk family through X, emphasized that “Edmonton is always with Wyn and Maye”. Meanwhile, Maye, who often appeared at fashion and technology events, canceled an expected talk at Toronto to be with her mother, according to Globe and Mail. This action shows her priority for her family in difficult times.
Although there is no further update from Maye, the global community is waiting for news about Wyn. The event reminded that even famous families like Musk family faced the fragile moments of life. With love and support from fans, Hopefully Wyn will overcome this difficult period, and Maye will find the strength from the Edmonton community, where she always considered the second home.
