Elon Musks mother has heard all of your comments about her son, and shes just about had enough.
In a new BBC documentary, Maye Musk defended her son, asking his growing number of critics to stop being mean to him.
Musk said her son gets a lot of hate because of his success with so many businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX. Its unclear if the interview was held prior to his takeover of Twitter, which is where much of the current criticism is focused.
After yo-yoing on whether he would or wouldnt purchase the social media company for $4 billion, Musk has made a series of controversial decisions since closing the deal, unceremoniously laying off half of the companys staff, and implementing (and quickly pausing) a paid verification system that resulted in a slew of verified accounts of celebrities, athletes and companies, which have caused problems for the real ones.
More recently, he has been criticized for firing Twitter engineers who criticize him, despite his previous vow of being a free speech proponent.
Musk has been an ardent supporter of her son for years, but has said that despite her family ties, it didnt help her jump the line to get a Tesla Model 3.
A model for five decades, Maye Musk was named one of the faces of CoverGirl at age 69 in 2017. She has also been in campaigns for Target, Virgin America. In 2013, she was in Beyoncés music video for Haunted. Shes also a dietitian and nutritionist with two masters degrees.
