Mother Knows Best: Meet The Woman Who Raised Tech Mogul Elon Musk | TODAY
She looks like she is from the future.
that was the first thing i thought when i saw that thumbnail... so u got elon musk who is like a genius when it comes to tech.. and u got this lady and she dresses like shes from beyond this timeline.
@@liferemastered688 Makes me want to get a make over haha.
I expect nothing less form someone related to Elon 😂
I ❤️ that she is proud of ALL her kids in their own right! Fantastic mother.
That’s because they are they came from a time machine
Must be surreal, driving in a car.. that your son created.
Musk be surreal...
He didn’t
@@mgm553 Nah, without Musk there'd be no Tesla. Without one of those engineers there'd just be another engineer in place...
His money created the car. The money was from mommy
@@rondleberik5337 Someone else would have also came out with a similar car with similar advancements, there'd just be a different name instead of Musk if it wasn't for him taking on that opportunity. There's 8+ billion people, ideas and advancements will continue to come out, it's a matter of when not who.
She looks exactly like how a billionaire's mother would look like.
Avocado Face no kidding😂😂
Josh Sean She’s 70 bro.. cmon
You mean she looks like an encouraging and empowering mother, right?
That's how influential elon musk is.
First thoughts
She looks like a woman in hunger games that lives at the capitol.
Brilliant comment.
Hahaah
Kardashian who? I want to see keeping up with musks
When she said I would work day and night but , it was ok I had my family and it made me happy Wow !!!!! that was truly beautiful to me ..
Abubakhar bin Albar I Would Love To See That Too
this 100 %
Wait till you meet his father..... Makes Caitlyn Jenner pale in comparison
Bobby Simatupang His father was a useless dickhead that abused his children badly. Elon’s personality being shy, reserved and not having trust in his father is a proof of that abuse. But that helped his sons in some way as they thought out of the box.
She looks like she could be a villain in a dystopian movie franchise, I mean that in the nicest way possible 😄
Post-menopausal goals. 😍🥰😍
Guardians of galaxy
Seconded !!
I mean they owned an emerald mine and slaves so you arent too far off
Elysium anyone?
She deserves a lot of credit for raising three brilliant kids as a single mother. Kudos to her!
@Jason Lee you obviously didn't watch even up to 2 minutes of the video
Two years after she got divorced, Elon moved to live with his dad, and Kimbal also moved 4 years later
Yes, he's good at pursuing achievements but bad at reading and picking women.
She wasn’t alone. She had friends like Charles Manson and the other ladies in her coven.
The things we do for our Kids without bragging. Some become billionaires. Some fight for a piece of the American pie. People think when you earn money you go get new bodies. I like to remind myself of having Kids. I love to show that tobacco products and bad choices can hurt our Kids. I like to share these experiences with my younger Son. That joy I find priceless as a Mom.
I love how she mentioned that she wanted all her 3 children to be recognised for their contributions. Really, so genuinely beautiful
Its surreal to see Elon Musk dating an elf girl and having a mother who came from the andromeda galaxy to give birth to a son, who will bring us to the next level of technology
😅
Yes
ELF GIRL, I AM DEAD
Lucas M grimes is amazing
Lucas M it is odd
He’s STILL hearing, “Bro, your mom is a babe!”
You need to get laid, dude...
@T K Me
No one is into old lady breath
tear728 I totally prefer internet troll roll cheese.
You know that stuff that accumulates between your flab when you haven’t left your mother’s basement in a week?
She looks like an AI that gained intelligence.
DATS WUT I THOUGHT😂
😂😂😂😂
Wyatt?
Alibaba intelligence*
Makes sense 🙏
This is how i imagine a trillionaire woman to look like...or a time traveler from future
"i worked day and night" now we know where elon gets it from.
'as long as i had health' health is true wealth
and she had 3 jobs at the same time
I think elon takes it to an extreme level...
Made sure those miners kept making her wealth.
That's worth respecting for sure!
Having three kids with a man worth divorcing, is not... but it's 2020, so nobody wants to talk about women's mistake, lackings and faults...
Thats what a happy MOM looks like,she can literally say,MY SON'S car or rocket or tunnel,even MARS.
happy isnt defined by success in any way
@@joefitzgerald2762 no dude,i dont mean it tht way.
@@joefitzgerald2762 you're a loser anyways. A happy loser.
@@yourcommentmightnotworksop9987 Im just yankin your chain man. I know you didnt mean it that way.
theddfreak why are u a dickhead?You fat keyboard warrior
What an amazing lady. Optimistic, bright and so courageous and supportive. Having such a present mother I have no doubt set her children up for such success. Inspiring! ⭐️
A wonderful mask! A SPECTACLE indeed. Wake up okay?
Been looking for your channel and finally found an excellent role model for my grandsons. Love your attitude and optimism.
Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us.
A single mother thats a really great model, daughter who's in the creative field adapting books, a son who's doing vegetable gardens for schools, and a billionaire son who's, well,for a lack of words, built rockets and stuff
They have such a beautiful family its amazing
She really still has her South African accent...
Saziso Mofokeng Noticed that too. Pretty awesome!
It sounds somewhat similar to Australian
@@bluedasher74 agreed
@@bluedasher74 people say this so often about our accents!
Saziso Mofokeng That's about all she had that's original. This person is a biological male. Can't you see the man face under the make up? Women don't have male brow ridges, for starters.
Billionaire not millionaire
it's like saying your car can go 0,2kph when it can go 200kph. You're right vut you're not saying the full truth
CombraStudios its called assets
First trillionaire not billionaire. Before 2030.
It literally says "billionaire" on the perpetual lower caption.
Giorgio Losi lmao agree
Can u imagine, being able to give your mother who raised u untill youre successful just anything and everything that she wants.
@Mo Ana well thats better, he multiplied the wealth provided for him. Some rich kids I know dont have the capibility or dont want to add to the wealth, they just finish it
Alisa Lexter no
Elon actually lived with his dad from age 10. This interview makes it seem like she housed and cared for the 3 kids on her own, but that was only for two years
She looks like she drinks spirulina avocado celery juice everyday
If you do that, you will die early
Why does that even makes sense.
Try olive oil, honey, garlic and cinnamon.
carrot sticks for snacks
@@warriors4god587 no she doesn't snack
She still has that South African accent.
So does Elon
@@trobeebensondjyamoncoulae13678 So Dutch farmers speak like her?
@@Cindy99765 not at all lmfao....
J. R. Nothing’s wrong with being a farmer. We would die of hunger without them.
@@madinaeleusizova nah the word Boer means farmer in English.....Afrikaans South Africans were originally dutch farmers hence the word Boer its cultural pride, not anything offensive.
She is a truly modest and genuine person.
Very humble and beautiful soul !!! When they asked her if she is " Proud" and her reply is lovely " I'm Happy where I'm now " Happy Not Pride though she was forced to say it by the reporter !!!
Rage.ModelsInc Yea cause pride is actually not a good thing. At least in America, it’s such a normal thing to say, but simply saying you’re happy where you are should be enough. You don’t need to go overboard and be proud because that’s a form of arrogance. Yet they make the term proud being interchangeable with happy
Far from modest, her family illegally profited off of apartheid for years, that’s how they’re rich. Go google Musk Emerald Mines
She took a great leap of faith in leaving to support her children on her own. Ultimately, her brave choice allowed the successes they each deserve from sacrifice, devotion to their goals always maintaining high moral standing. I'll give Elon a pass for AH because she is nothing but a gold digging temptress🤕 Maye has been rewarded with the happiness she has well earned...
Men such as Erroll Musk rightfully & eventually reap what they've sewn...
You have no idea. She was friends with Charles Manson.
Mother worked hard to support kids. Kids worked hard, become successful and support mother. What a beautiful family.
She is really quite a stunning woman and seems like a humble spirit. I love how she works her hair.
humble ? are you kidding ? vain and arrogant fits the bill.
@@linanicolia1363 if that's how you feel 🤷🏽♀️
Seems is the key word.
She’s the most beautiful older woman I’ve ever seen. Inspirational
Exactly. Looks so much better than the queen.
@@osamabinladen824 My guy the queens almost a 100😂
@@Musti._ Thanks
I’ve been obsessed with her and never knew that was her son. Omfg.
Must have been surreal to find out.
@@reebam8914 *musk
How many Musk do you know? Surely something must have clicked and you goggled her name
orrgazmo1986 I never knew her last name or thought about it when I found out. How many billionaires have elderly mothers who are models?
Wait how u gonna be obssessed and not know?? Lmaoo
Someone needs to cast her in a sci-fi movie. Seriously.
"Well, financially it's a struggle but I would go home and I had a happy family." :)
“I still think I have a lot more to do”. Funny that she says that, she could easily retire and live on a beach.
Kamil Legault I assumed she was referring to the future advances in longevity medicine.
she has a growth mindset
It's the Musks trait, working nonstop.
Maye has given women of DV golden advice...don't wait to leave a bad marriage!
They are each examples of life ahead through that leap of faith and the love of/from your children.
Let the deserved karma come to the man who could have destroyed their successes before they were ever realized.
I admire them each for their accomplishments & their great love for each other❣🕊
She is what’s called a bullshitter. Don’t drink the Kool Aid!
And I love that she still has her South African accent 🇿🇦
It’s so classy, I love it.
Another thing to love about her south african heritage: her family’s illegal emerald mine purchased during apartheid
@@emmetharrigan5234 please, I did not invite negativity here. Rather create your own post if you want to talk about things outside of the South African accent 🤷🏻♀️
@@waterissogood you do you boo 👍
@@bridgettehattingh4143 How can you say they’re being negative when her family is who did something racist and illegal? Aren’t their actions worth than then mentioning it?
whoa, MOM IS STRAIGHT FIRE!!!!!! And I love how she was like "dont forget about my other kids" too cute
mamma bear
It’s such a blessing to have a mom like that
She's the actual bomb
she looks like an ambassador for Mars space travel or something
Agreed!!!!! Her philosophy is great too.
GOSH she’s gorgeous. I want to be her when i grow up. 😂
So basically bear a son who makes ylu famous? Lolol
Tuk she was a model before he came along. tyvm but yes that too.
@@wothin what's wrong with that?
@@alwaysyouramanda so u want to be basically a model. Lol. Original
@@MC-df7xd meaning you want other people to make you famous. You don't want to be the reason to be famous. Called parasitic behavior
Why does the reporter keep saying that word. PROUD?! Lady said she's HAPPY. That's what matters.
Her humility when talking about herself but pride in her children is 💯...❤❤❤
The optimism in his mom contributed to the successes of their family members and love that all her children are very philanthropic
Such BS and illusion. Neither has any philanthropic intent or intent but money and her story is just that: don’t drink the Kool Aid!
She’s badass. I love how she owns her age and rocks it while doing so. Honestly, we need people like her out there to not only set an example for young people, but older people as well. I hope whenever I reach that age I can rock it and own it like her. 👏🏻🔥
I'm just going to tell you right now squirrel. If you dont lay off the wild turkey, and that pipe your not gonna make it 😂😂🤣🤣
Love when good parents reap blessings. She worked hard raising her babies
Fun fact: the interviewer is Arnold Schwarzenegger's ex wife
Jin dobre.
I had a brain aneurysm reading his last name
Isn't she a Kennedy?
@@DidierPeroni yeah, Arnold knew what he was doing 😂
Both are MTF's.
Behind every great man is an even greater mom
@Green Mills ....mom's aren't all biological
Coco Nesian that’s very debatable
Behind every failed man is an even big failure of a mom
DJ yasi
Oh god, not you guys. Where do you come from? Please take your hatred somewhere else.
@@zain4019 hatred? If the original comment is true then what they said holds true too
Some people bring Elon’s to the world, some others bring the destroyers of humanity and some just add the numbers. Parents can decide what they wanna make out of their children while listening to their passion and strengths.
Nidhi I think majority of people become what others make them in their early lives. The choices we make as adults are of course ours but our childhood experiences play a big role in making those choices.
On a separate note, your eyes are mesmerizing
Deep 🎯
Blablabla
I agree on some level but a child can have a good foundation and as they are growing up chose to go another path
I love her South African accent!!! “Jah, i guess” 😂👏🏻
"This element of- joyful attitude towards making a difference. Focus on what you're passionate about, you know, the money will come. The success will come."
- May Musk
Mind blown. I collect pages in magazines of models who seize my attention. I had her in my collection and didn't even know she birthed Elon! Epic.
Solar T. Tauri AMAZING!!!!
She’s so gorgeous.
IKR? Some seriously good genes.
YOU are gorgeous
@Elohim infected meat?
@Elohim yikes..
Pickeledcoconut
She is:)
Interviewer: “So how your son Elon smell?”
Mommy: “Musky...”
musk you say that?
The fact that they seems happy and close to each other even after adulthood showing how good mother she is ❤️ i want to be that kind of mother
Hello Aulia
Imagine driving a car that your son created
So fashionable. Cool mom
She is so beautiful as she's real, and fun. I was very happy seeing her inner beauty. Just luminous. How joyful, she makes others. Seems very easy for her, as it's genuine. Really enjoyed your pick of amazing people ! God sent one of his joyful heavenlies, in her. Looks like we could really learn a lot, about being who we are and how much more we can give others, by having a smile and giggly still at: '20 at 70' looks great !! Her, simple joyous feel for life was very pleasant ! Her boys must be wonderful people ! I still say she's 20 ! Great show !!!
"As long as I had good health, I can work day and night." Lot's of people don't realize that running your body to the ground serves no one.
Bruh his dad was crazy LOL. They dont even mention him.
He didn't raise them. Mommy Musk did
@John Kimber The world is getting crazier and crazier every day. We are living in the last days by the looks of it.
@John Kimber choice s
deziking Was he?
@John Kimber who hurt you bro?
This just like a movie, A genius villian that has rocket factory with a famous model mom... I love Elon tho..
Almost like 50 shades of gray .. The grays 😅
Glad to hear that she still has a strong South African accent lol.
Many sons who are raised by single mothers end up ruining their life’s. This woman did an amazing job on keeping them on the right track and it paid off. May she enjoy the blessings and stop hating on her folks.
2:31 looks like Elon is wearing a prototype spacesuit minus the helmet.
she looks like she's the antagonist of a sci fi movie
Everyone wants a supporting mother like she is 🙏 🙂 ✌
What a beautiful mother Elon has. She sure did a great job bringing up her 3 children. 💞💞💞
She deserves to be proud, producing 2 powerful yet kind children for this generation. Incredible incredible feat. Thank u mam
"powerful yet kind"
Drug addicts, convicted frauds?
3 kids?
@@clausejoke1985 convicted falon which
@@clausejoke1985 *frauds how
Try a whole sentence.
She’s BEAUTIFUL! I wonder how old she is. So regal! 👑 Love her mentality too. Health is wealth! Focus on what you’re passionate about and money will come. What a wonderful lady. So much grace! Stunning.
What an amazing lady who had such a positive and encouraging outlook! I'm glad she is having so much fun with her life.
Normal people: brag about having a tesla super car.
May musk: brags about having a tesla supercar *made by her son*
IMAGINE HOW COOL THAT IS
Now I know where Elon gets his showbiz spark from.
That woman is beautiful.
Beautiful inside and out. Her facial bone structure and short hair is so sharp! What tops it all off is that she seems so humble and wants to shine the light on ALL her kids, not just Elon ... love that!
My daughter did modelling with her that was in Bloemfontein South Africa.
She reminds me of the modern version of Aunt May in Ultimate Spider-man comics, she totally should play it if Marvel decides to go that way one day
She is more stunning now than when she was younger.
I love their mother she’s so vibrant!.
Why am I ugly crying because of her story? 😭😭😭😭 Such a great mom!
Hello Theresa
2:30 Elon is wearing like 5 sheep here.
"It's a fashion statement"
Haha!
Our South African accent is so beautiful when spoken around other accents. It stands out so nicely 🇿🇦
Their family photo is literally how I look in family photos lmao
You know - this just goes to show that it’s never too late to get on in life. This amazing woman is in her 70s and still pushing! NEVER GIVE UP!
You know your product is good when your momma buys it
“Take it from your mumsy, it’s a scary Mars out there.”
😂😂
Admirer of Elon. First car I ever bought where the Manufacturer kept upgrading my car for free, for years! Most fun car I have ever driven. I’m 73 and my son told me about Tesla. Seeing Elon’s mom be so positive and beautiful explains why her children are such good people. Kudos to you, Mom!❤️👏👍
she is so pretty INSIDE and OUT
She is stunning.
She sounds like a wonderful mother. If I had half her strength.
Its was so heartwarming when she was talking about what her kids were doing now. She had so much joy in her voice when she was telling us about It
She seems like she has such a good energy about her, so magnetic.
imagine elon musk being your dad, grimes being your mom and her being you grandma...i wouldn't think my life is even real lmao
Didn't know that Tom Cruise was Elon's brother @ 1:57
Lol! His brother is very handsome tho..
What ? a scientologist ?
Kimbal has the thickest South African accent
Don't you mean Maye? That's her name.
Kimbal's accent isn't that thick.
Blender Robot He's so handsome.
she sounds Afrikaans
Wow, love her energy!
How are you doing 😊👋
I’m pregnant. This inspires me to be more positive so my children can learn optimism. What a wonderful lady.
She is slaying! ❤️
Kimbal seems like a cool brother. Obviously it goes the other war around too, but if I were musk, I'd want a brother like him. He seems really genuine and cool to hang around with
plus he always has a badass hat on
it made me smile that she drives a tesla. wouldnt expect any different, but its still so sweet and supportive and i love how proud of him she is 💗
She's a South African woman, she's strong, and its great to realise Elon had a similar upbringing to mine. Regardless of our cultural differences, every woman in this country is strong....okay most.....some live in Stellenbosch😛
Mama Musk⚡
Somebody should make a movie about their lives. What a fascinating story!
What a wonderful story! There's great genes at work here but also, a TON of positive attitude coupled with diligence! 😊❤👵👍🏾
I love how she hasn't really lost her South African accent 😜
She's beautiful.....her attitude is lovely. She's perfect
I once drew a picture of a cool car for my mom....Elon invents and builds one for his.
She and Carmen Dell'Orefice are The class epitome.
The way I knew she was South African based on her voice 🥺
