Who Is Maye Musk? Elon Musk's Mom Talks About Raising Kids Right

Who Is Maye Musk? Canadian-South African model and dietician Maye Musk is making global headlines triggering interest in who she is and what her background is. Maye Musk appeared on the covers of magazines, including a Time magazine health edition. Musk is mother to three kids - Elon Musk, Kimbal Musk, and Tosca Musk and her story is a moving one about how she single handedly raised her children and took on adversity with a fist.

Musk became a single mother of three at 31.  She had to work to fend for herself.

In an interview with Business Insider, she said that the way she raised her children was quite similar to the way she was raised by her own parents. She was a working mother and ensured that her children see that and be a part of it.

“My parents treated us like adults who could be trusted, and their influence is evident in how I raised my children. From a young age, my kids helped me with my nutrition business. Tosca would go into my office and type up letters to doctors on a word processor. Elon was very good at helping to explain the word processor functions to me. Kimbal was always helpful, too", she said in another interview

She also said that she encouraged all her three kids to follow their passions and to help people. She explained how they had to get their own scholarships and their own loans and had to support themselves since she had limited funds.

She also explained how children survive well if they aren't used to luxuries. Spoiling them is not the key. She said that she doesn't treat them like babies or scolds them.
