Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, arrived at the Met Gala 2022 with his mother, Maye Musk. This was the first public appearance by the 50-year-old billionaire since completing his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter last week. During the May 1 event, when Vogue live stream host La La Anthony asked Elon Musk about his plans for Twitter, he said: “My goal, assuming everything goes as planned, is to make Twitter as inclusive as possible and to have as large a user base as possible. And that it’s entertaining and funny, and that they’re having as much fun as they can. He was also questioned about his attire for the evening’s theme, Gilded Glamour. “I’m just following the dress code,” he explained.

Who is Maye Musk?

Elon Musk wore a classic tuxedo to the star-studded affair, while his 74-year-old mother, Maye Musk, wore a crimson velvet Dior gown with Chopard cords of pearls draped around her neck. Maye Musk was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, on April 19, 1948, to parents Joshua and Wyn Haldeman, who ran a successful chiropractic practise. She is one of five children and has a twin sister named Kaye. They travelled a lot, but the family’s home was in South Africa. According to The New York Times, Elon Musk’s daring parents flew the family 22,000 miles across the world in an aircraft her father had purchased in pieces from Canada when she was four years old.

All about Elon Musk’s supermodel mother?

Maye Musk began modelling at the age of 15 in Pretoria and Johannesburg, and she went on to become a successful model who worked on weekends and took part in runway shoots and catalogues. According to the publication, the teen was also a finalist in the Miss South Africa beauty pageant in 1969 and a prominent model in the 1960s. In high school, Musk met Errol Musk, an engineer who would later become her husband. The couple married in 1970, and Elon, their first son, was born a year later, followed by Kimbal and Tosca a year later. After nearly ten years of marriage, Maye and Errol divorced in 1979. Musk moved to Toronto with her three children from Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1989, when she was 42 years old, according to Business Insider.
