Maye Musk, the 71-year-old supermodel and mother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, recently published a new book titled “A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success.” In the book, Musk recounts her journey from traversing the African desert as a teenager to becoming the matriarch of a powerhouse family. In a recent interview with CTV Your Morning, Musk revealed the age at which she knew her son Elon was a special child.  

Musk told the interviewer that she first realized Elon was different from other children when he was just three years old. She recalled that he was able to reason with her in a way that other children his age could not. For example, when she tried to send him to school early, he was able to convince her that he needed more stimulation. Musk also noted that Elon was always curious and eager to learn new things.

As Elon grew older, Musk continued to be impressed by his intelligence and potential. She recalled that he was able to take what he learned and apply it in creative ways. For example, when he was a teenager, he created a computer game that was so popular that it eventually led to the founding of a successful software company.

Musk is clearly proud of her son’s accomplishments, but she is also quick to point out that he is not just a genius. She believes that his success is due in part to his hard work, determination, and perseverance. She also credits his father, Errol Musk, for providing him with a supportive and stimulating environment.

In her book, Musk offers advice to young women who are looking to achieve their dreams. She emphasizes the importance of education, hard work, and self-confidence. She also encourages women to support each other and to help each other succeed.
