Maye Musk is 78 years old, and her son Elon is one of the richest men in the world. Even so, when she travels to Starbase, Texas, to visit him, she prefers to sleep in a bed set up inside the garage. 👀
It’s not because she lacks options: Maye has said that she could stay in a suite about 45 minutes away, but she chooses to stay there to be closer to Elon when he has time to see her.
She herself calls it a “luxury”. After a childhood marked by expeditions to the Kalahari Desert and years of living austerely as a single mother, she says that sleeping under a roof already seems sufficient to her. 🤍
The story has once again drawn attention now that she is promoting her memoir Timeless: austerity by choice or an unexpected situation for the mother of a billionaire?
