In a recent television interview, Maye Musk (74 years old) - the mother of the world's richest billionaire Elon Musk revealed that she knew her son was a prodigy since the age of 3.

She remembers that when she enrolled her child in a kindergarten, when she shared with the teacher that her child was a child prodigy, the teacher was... "rolling her eyes" in surprise.

"I knew my son was special from the very beginning. When Elon was 3 years old, I sent him to kindergarten and told the teachers at school that my son was a prodigy, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Elon quite shy, so people didn't see the genius side of the boy back then.

And I'm the only person that Elon talks to comfortably, so I know that well. From a young age, Elon liked to use logic to talk to me and remember everything going on around him," Mrs. Maye recalls.

Even so, Mrs. Maye herself never thought her son could reach the level of success he is today, becoming the richest billionaire in the world and succeeding in many fields.

At work, Elon Musk often shares with his mother about his plans. Previously, the billionaire once confided in his mother about his plan to pursue the development of solar technology, electric cars, rockets, spaceships...

Whenever her son shares with Mrs. Maye such big plans, she always advises him to give up, to give himself a break, because she sees that her son has worked too hard and can are under stress. But Elon often doesn't listen to his mother. As a result, we have all seen that in the present, Elon Musk has become the richest billionaire in the world.

Elon Musk used to be very shy, afraid to communicate when he first started

Mrs. Maye also revealed that at first Elon Musk was very shy and found it difficult to communicate. This happens even in Elon Musk's adult years. Mrs. Maye believes that it was her second son - Kimbal Musk who helped his brother Elon Musk get the first success in the business field.

The two brothers and some partners founded a company specializing in manufacturing computer software in 1995. This company later sold for $ 307 million in 1999. Elon Musk received $ 22 million for holding. 7% shares of the company.

According to Mrs. Maye, it was because he had his younger brother Kimbal by his side, so at that time, Elon did not have to make an effort to explain his ideas to associates and partners, because that task was already performed by Kimbal. Thanks to that, Elon does not need to appear or communicate much.

After having achieved some success in the business field, at this time, Elon Musk understands that he cannot avoid the media and meetings and dialogues anymore.

The secret to having no money is still raising children successfully

She married at the age of 22 to engineer Errol Musk. The couple has 3 children, billionaire Elon Musk is the eldest son. Her three children all have impressive careers in different fields. In addition to Elon who is the richest technology billionaire in the world, her second son - Kimbal Musk has set up a restaurant chain operating on the model from farm to table.

Her youngest daughter - Toscar Musk is a filmmaker. During her nine-year marriage to Mr. Errol, Mrs. Maye endured abuse. By the age of 31, Mrs. Maye decided to divorce, bring 3 children and enter the life of a single mother. Elon Musk is her most famous child, but the other two children are also her great pride.

After a few years of being a single mother in South Africa, Maye brought her children back to her native Canada to live. At that time, her mother and daughter lived in a rented apartment in Toronto (Canada).

Mrs. Maye Musk herself in later years always tried to pursue her studies, besides modeling, to become a nutritionist.

Mrs Maye shared about her difficult years as a single mother: "Back then, I didn't have money to go to a hairdresser or to go out to eat, but I always worked hard."

From being a poor single mother to now becoming the mother of the world's richest billionaire, Mrs. Maye has always worked non-stop.

When asked about the secret to being able to raise her children to grow up well, even with a son who is as successful as billionaire Elon Musk, Mrs. Maye said she has no special secret.

And billionaire Elon Musk once said about how to raise his mother's children: "My mother always gives my brothers and sisters the freedom to do what they want. Even though we sometimes don't eat enough, she always prioritizes. so that we can get a full education. My mother also rarely complains but always actively finds ways to overcome difficulties. Her attitude to life is the first valuable lesson in life for my brothers and sisters."

For her part, Maye Musk is very fond of how she was raised. Maye's father is a doctor who runs a private practice. She started working at her father's clinic outside of school hours at the age of eight as a receptionist. She is seriously paid and this is Mrs Maye's monthly allowance.

Mrs. Maye said that she has always been treated like an adult since she was a child, she was respected and trusted by her parents, and soon learned lessons about the value of labor.

Later, when she became a mother, she also treated her children the same way, she respected their children's individuality and thoughts, and encouraged them to live responsibly as adults. According to Mrs. Maye, parents need to help their children develop an independent lifestyle, self-responsibility.

Mrs Maye insists she always avoids the two extremes of parenting: either being too indulgent or too strict. She also does not force the children to absolutely obey their mother and the children must be responsible for themselves, she does not check the homework nor urge the children to study, the children are responsible for the results study and their educational path.

Mrs. Maye once confided: "I had to work very hard to have enough money to support my children. Even after the children went to university, my family's life was still very poor with many material limitations. But my children still live and study well.

Parents should not indulge their children excessively, basically, give them safe development, the rest, the children themselves must know how to take responsibility for themselves and find a way to develop nature. self direction. There are parents who are overly protective of their children, taking care of their children from childhood to adulthood, from school to work, but teaching children to have a good attitude is really important."
