Maye Musk revealed that she advised her son, Elon Musk, to focus on a single business venture following the sale of PayPal. Elon Musk disregarded this suggestion and proceeded to launch multiple companies simultaneously, including SpaceX and Tesla. Despite initial skepticism regarding the success of these projects, they have grown into major enterprises.
Forbes estimates Elon Musk's total wealth at $929 billion. Maye Musk clarified that this figure represents the value of his equity holdings rather than liquid cash. Specifically, Elon Musk holds approximately 38% of SpaceX and nearly 11% of Tesla, meaning his net worth fluctuates in accordance with the stock market performance of these companies.
Regarding artificial intelligence, Maye Musk noted that she frequently uses Grok, the chatbot developed by xAI. She also commented on her son's living arrangements, mentioning that during visits to the SpaceX launch site in Starbase, Texas, Elon Musk stays in a garage rather than a hotel. She expressed confidence that he will eventually travel to space himself.
