The Amazing Mom of Elon Musk, Maye, 70, Has Some Life Advice for Us—And Maybe for Him Too
At 70 years young, Maye Musk, the ever-glamorous, wisdom-laden mother of the second richest man in the world (sorry, Elon, rankings fluctuate), has bestowed upon us mere mortals some pearls of life advice. And honestly? Some of it sounds like it might be directed at her billionaire son—just saying.
Maye, a supermodel and dietitian (yes, she’s that fabulous), has been making headlines for her ability to juggle grace, beauty, and what seems like infinite patience for her Twitter-happy offspring. In her recent interviews, she shared nuggets of wisdom like, “Don’t stay in bad relationships” and “Work hard, but take care of yourself.” Admirable advice for anyone, really, but one can’t help but wonder: was she thinking about someone specific when she said this? (Cough cough Twitter layoffs, anyone?)
She also emphasized the importance of family and staying grounded, which is rich coming from someone whose son is launching rockets while simultaneously debating strangers on social media. You’ve got to give her credit, though—Maye’s parenting style clearly worked, considering Elon has gone from selling flamethrowers to literally aiming for Mars.
When asked how she manages to stay so vibrant, she gave a classic Maye answer: “Don’t stress over things you can’t control.” A subtle dig at Elon’s daily dose of online chaos? Perhaps. But hey, if anyone has the right to offer unsolicited advice to the world (and her son), it’s the woman who raised a tech titan while building her own thriving career.
So, next time you find yourself stressing over life’s little troubles, just remember Maye Musk’s golden rules: keep working hard, take care of yourself, and maybe, just maybe, stop tweeting so much. Right, Elon?
