You may know the name Elon Musk from his successful ventures including Tesla and Space X, but I bet you didn’t know success runs in his family. Maye Musk reveals her insight into having a successful career while raising successful kids.

Maye reveals that parents very similar to her own parents in that they both had successful careers and Maye only got to see them for dinner time around 6 pm because they would work long hours, also helping her to be more independent at a young age. Maye goes onto say that she knew her parents were so busy she would do what she could to help them and her children did the same.

Early in her career, Maye worked out of her home and her children knew they needed to be well-behaved and do their own homework since she was preoccupied with work. Maye says she was lucky with such well-behaved kids and she let them follow their own passions all going in different directions.

Maye says the magical age is 12 as all her children discovered their passions. Her family moved back to Toronto to work as a research officer at the University of Toronto and her funds were blocked. By the time her kids were getting ready to go to college she says that they could have attended the university she worked at for free as long as they studied medicine or law, but her kids had much bigger plans.

Elon and Kimbal went onto study business, eventually, Elon went onto study physics. Their sister Tosca wanted to study film. This meant that they had to get their own loans, scholarships, and support themselves through college.

Looking back on how she raised her children Maye says that the best gift she gave them was teaching them manners on being polite and doing good for others. Maye says that working as a dietician her kids would see the good she is doing for others and they passed on the mission. She’s not only a successful career woman but is also a model.

Maye Musk is the most mature COVERGIRL in history at the age of 69 which all started with her Instagram account. Eventually, her Instagram photos would catch the attention of one of the top model agencies in the world, IMG Models, that approached her with an offer to be an ambassador for a beauty company.

Maye soon meets with COVERGIRL and during the meeting, they had a mood board of all her Instagram pictures while implying that she was already a COVERGIRL in which Maye thought it was going to be a meeting to discuss the possibility. Leaving the meeting Maye asked is she is going to be a COVERGIRL and her agent said that they have the contract.

She was so excited about the commercial and they made her feel like a true star with a commercial where she looks absolutely stunning. Maye is also an advocate for age diversity in the media, believing that we need age diversity everywhere including the beauty and fashion industry. She says that men in the media stay prevalent but aging women in the media are often neglected with most companies not wanting to book them after they reach a certain age.

Maye believes that 50% of CEOs should be women, 50% of presidents should be women because we would have a gentler and kinder world and that women should support women to get to these positions. She also imparts that men should support women saying women aren’t men’s competition, believing the more capable person should get the job regardless of their gender.
