NEW YORK: Luxury seekers have been shocked by the revelation made by the mother of the world's richest man Elon Musk. In an interview, Elon’s mother Maye Musk opened up about her bond with her son and said that she had to sleep in the garage whenever she visits him in Texas. “You can’t have a fancy house near a rocket site”, Maye told the media.
She also revealed about a lot of interesting facts about her 50-year-old son Elon Musk. During the interview, Maye said that unlike her son, she has no interest in going to Mars. Earlier this year, Elon had stated that he does not even own a home and stays at friend’s places. Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house. Don’t need the cash. Possession just weighs you down”. These tweets had then gone viral on social media.
Musk, the founder of SpaceX, who has a net worth of 257.3 billion dollars, often makes headlines for his diverse thoughts and actions. However, Maye claims that she had recognized her son’s potential when he was only three-years-old. “My nickname for Elon was Genius Boy”, she said.
“He remembered everything he read. He was always absorbing information. We could ask him anything”, Maye said. She also opened up about the financial difficulties their family had to endure during Elon’s childhood.
