Elon Musk’s bold bets—electrifying the world with Tesla, digging tunnels with The Boring Company—owe their audacity to Maye Musk, a mother whose faith in her son’s dreams anchored his wildest ambitions.

Raising Elon in a modest Pretoria home after a painful divorce, Maye worked tirelessly as a dietitian and model, yet always made time to nurture his obsession with technology and exploration. Her own defiance of odds, moving to Canada with little and later thriving as a global icon, taught Elon that risk is the prelude to reward, a mindset he carried into SpaceX’s early failures. Maye’s gentle encouragement, from praising his first software sale at 12 to supporting his Stanford dropout decision, built a foundation of trust that let him soar. Her smiles at Starship tests reveal a love that doesn’t waver, proving that a mother’s belief can ignite revolutions across industries and skies.
