[caption id="attachment_4207" align="aligncenter" width="225"] Elon Musk's Mother Maye Musk[/caption]

Here's a 73-year-old woman. Her name is Maye Musk.

Born to parents who were free-spirited enough to fly her own plane and travel through the desert, she began modeling at the age of 15, and at 21 she made it to the Miss South Africa finale. When she was 22, she married Errol Musk, an engineer, in 1970, where she raised three children.

Her eldest son is Elon Musk, founder of Tesla.

Her second son is Kimbal Musk, founder of Square Route, an indoor urban agriculture company.

Each of her youngest daughters is doing well as a filmmaker, producer, and director.

Maye Musk said she started her modeling career when she was a teenager and has since continued her modeling career while working as a nutrition expert.

She has been attending New York Fashion Week since the age of 67. At 69, she was selected as the official model for the global beauty brand Cover Girl.

Actually, the above story is talking about removing the shadow that occupies a fairly large part of a woman's life history.

Maye Musk History:

1. Maye Musk has an unhappy marriage. She suffered physical and psychological violence throughout her marriage, and even after her divorce, her husband continued to threaten her Maye Musk.

2. She said that Maye Musk didn't get her alimony properly, so she lived in a rented apartment for the poorest, raising her children, working as a model, and studying nutrition.

3. Even after she was in her place to some extent, she moved from continent to continent for the future of her children, each time she had to start all over again.

She said, "Maye Musk isn't just an ordinary person."
"Now, let's talk about that."
*This article is a reconstruction of excerpts from her autobiography, 'Maye Musk: Women Make Plans' by Maye Musk.

Maye Musk Dating Years:

Maye Musk married her boyfriend, whom she had been dating since her teenage years when she was 21.

In fact, the catastrophe of this marriage was foreordained. When Maye found out that her longtime boyfriend had an affair with her, she broke up with her first but was suffering from her heartache.

Maye Musk started her modeling career by participating in various beauty pageants to overcome the situation.

She said that during her final semester just before her graduation, Maye binged due to her academic stress, and her weight increased to over 90 kg.

She couldn't find a job and her self-esteem was so low that she managed to find her job and moved to Cape Town.

Her boyfriend, who had met and broke up repeatedly in that situation, came to Mei with her engagement ring after a year. Maye refused her proposal, but her boyfriend went to her parents and lied that she had consented to her marriage.

And she had already begun preparing for the wedding without Maye's knowledge.

Yes, it's absurd to write, but in South Africa in the 1970s, long-distance calls were very expensive and not used well, and her family didn't even suspect it, as it was customary for the groom to go to the bride's father for permission to marry.

Maye only finds out about the whole situation when she receives a telegram from her family telling her to stop working and come to her house for her wedding when she's ready to get married.

Maye Musk worst decision:

Here, Maye Musk makes a decision she will regret for the rest of her life. That's right, she accepted the marriage.

"That was the beginning of the hellish times in my life."

"It was also on the way to her honeymoon that she was beaten by her husband"

"I wanted to leave, but I couldn't because he had my passport."

"I thought about coming home and complaining to her family, but I couldn't because I was too embarrassed."

"It wasn't long before she started having morning sickness and found out she had a baby on the second day of her honeymoon."

Maye Musk's husband Errol Musk did not change her attitude even though her wife was pregnant.

After Maye Musk's father died in a plane crash, He blatantly revealed her lust for her legacy.

He prevented Maye from contacting her family after he learned that Maye Musk's older sister inherited a further inheritance.

Then when he found out she had been on the phone with her family, He pounded Maye Musk.

He beat Maye Musk even in the presence of her young children, so she's said to have even been slapped by five-year-old Elon Musk in the calf of her father.

In addition to this, Errol Musk's demeaning actions are detailed in the book, but we will omit them.

The three children went to visit their father on vacations or special days, but the couple's relationship has been cut off forever.

Maye Musk ran out of her savings because Errol Musk had been sued for 10 years for custody of her children. Having gained her freedom, Maye Musk said she now had to get her job.

Maye Musk Career:

How to carry on two careers despite her adversity Maye Musk has two jobs.

Nutritionist:

One is a nutritionist. Maye Musk said when she was 34, she got her master's degree in dietetics, and in her early 40's she got her master's degree in nutritional science.

She is Maye Musk and throughout her life, she has moved to 8 cities in 3 countries on 2 continents.

She had to re-establish her foundation each time, and the title of nutrition expert was also the best tool to keep Bob from starving.

Her nutritional knowledge was not only a means of making a living but also helped Maye Musk manage her weight.

She said that even after Maye Musk's divorce. She repeated her unhappy love affair and she repeated that she gained and lost weight each time.

During her transition to losing weight, she made money working as a plus-size model for Maye Musk.

She was, as written in the book, the only plus-size model in South Africa. As can be seen from this story.

Modeling:

Maye Musk was not a supermodel like Cindy Crawford or Naomi Campbell. She was a common casual model wearing clothes that were on sale in department store catalogs.

Now, if you look up to this point, you may be wondering how Maye Musk, who was just a typical professional model, became a model for a global cosmetics brand and walked on the runway.

She said, "She lived in New York for her fifties"
“The agency didn’t give me a job that was right for me”
"So she stopped dyeing her hair. Growing up her undyed hair was so ugly. Her top was gray and her hair over her shoulders was blonde."
“I cut her hair short as her friend recommended.”
“Because I have gray hair, things really don’t work.”
“But suddenly, a casting director wanted me to be the cover model for Time magazine.”
"After appearing as a cover model for <Time> magazine's health section, I have come to the realization that the problem is not with my appearance, but with the agency (that didn't get me a job)."
"When I looked at the contract, there was still time left, but the contract itself was only applicable in New York City."

“After Philadelphia, Hampton, Connecticut, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Hamburg, Munich, Paris and London, I got a job by asking questions”
“I did catalogs in Europe, I modeled for magazines, and I did commercials for hair products and pharmaceutical companies.”
"Even if it's not flashy, it was work anyway, and the income was salty."
"And I was selected after a 300 to 1 match in an advertisement audition for Virgin America."

"My sixty-seven-year-old face was all over Times Square, subways, and airports across the United States."
“And two years later, at the age of sixty-nine, I was selected as a cover girl advertisement model.”

Maye Musk has established a place in Johannesburg to some extent but moves to Toronto for the future of her children.

Her dietitian and modeling jobs were technically long before she got a freelance credit card and always had to carry cash.

Maye's Relationship with her Sons:

Even when she was 46, Maye Musk had no home for her and her income was volatile. At that time, Maye Musk's two sons launched a service called ZIP2.

Online payment provider PayPal Inc. raised $70.2 million in its widely anticipated initial public offering, but a patent infringement lawsuit gave investors reason to be wary as the stock began trading Friday, Feb. 15, 2002, on the Nasdaq Stock Market. After covering expenses, Palo Alto-based PayPal expects to net $61.3 million from the initial sale Thursday of 5.4 million shares at $13 apiece, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.[/caption]

The service is a provider of maps and detailed driving directions and has worked with leading news sites around the world to provide information online.

Maye Musk visits her busy sons every six weeks to buy groceries, clothes, furniture, and pay for printing.

He also lent me the $10,000 I had saved to buy a house. because they believed in what their sons were doing

“After that, I moved to San Francisco. I had to write letters to the doctors asking them to send patients again.”

“There were many times when I had to show my face when I was new, so it was often unpaid.

“But it took too long to build a business.”

“I was in tears because I couldn’t pay the rent after three months.”

The children said it was the first time they heard my cry. The kids offered to pay the rent, but they weren't very happy.

Personally, reading Maye Musk's autobiography, the passage that impressed me the most was,

The point was that both parents and children were unilaterally doing 'Give and Take' without giving or receiving help, and they were happy with it.

In particular, in Maye Musk's attitude, it was impressive that there was not even one attitude that said, 'Now that I have had and raised my children, the children have to take responsibility for me' or 'I have to repay you'.

In particular, it was Musk's own efforts that made the current career of Maye Musk rather than the fame of Elon Musk's mother.

“I did a deal with my kids to promote my business”
“The condition was that if I gave a lecture on nutrition to the children’s staff, I would create a website.”
“It was just a four-page site.”
“I was probably the first nutritionist to have a website.”
"I've been promoting my dietitian business through my website since the late 1990s"
“Thanks to this, I have received many opportunities such as lectures, media appearances, and spokesperson work.”
“Around 2010, we also launched a model portfolio website that summarized decades of modeling activity.

While reading this book, I realized that my children had really grown up progressively by showing them living such an enterprising life... but on the other hand, the marriage that failed no matter how much, the pressure of having to raise children as a single mother, which I also wondered if I would have been able to resolve the anxiety and humiliation of having to start from scratch by moving to a new land even after I had achieved a decent amount of fortune. In answer to that, I would like to end this article with a reconstructed passage of the passage I read most impressively.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ1vkQolLRw&t=1s

"The reason I'm not afraid of getting old is that when I look back on my past life, the new decade was better than the ten years before it."
"Except for having three lovely children.
My twenties were a terrible time."

“It was pretty bad even in my 30s. When I was In my 40s, I was really busy struggling to survive.”
“In my 50s, I moved to New York, started a business, and made friends.”
“In my 60s, my children, grandchildren, and work were all stable.”
“And now, in my 70s, I am busier than ever.”

Maye Musk's Mother:

"My mother, Wynn Holdman, set her an example."
"Her mother was sixty-one when her father died in a plane crash"
"Since these two are so special, I thought that they would never recover from sadness."
“It was our Ki-woo. Her mother was in full bloom.”
“I started taking art classes in my mid-sixties and started working on woodcarving, ceramics, and even painting.”
“She travels across the country, painting landscapes and buildings in oil paintings and watercolors, and regularly holds exhibitions.”

"She didn't know her mother's talent until then."
“My mother started etching her in her 70s. She sculpts with metal plates and needles and all kinds of chemicals and machines, then presses them onto her paper.”
"She has been working as an artist for 22 years, day and night, immersed in her work"
“When she was ninety-four, her hand struggled with fine art, so she used technology to learn digital art.”
"She's a mother in her 90's and she said she's never been this happy all the time"

She said, "She did not lose her wits and lived until the age of ninety-eight when her body began to decline and she died."
“According to my sister, who lived with her mother, she laughed out loud on the morning of her death as well.”
"She said her mother was never afraid of her growing old"
"Whenever I think of her mother, I can't help but think of the future as we all live.
I used to think it would be good."
