SAD NEWS: 40 Minutes Ago in Pretoria, South Africa – Urgent Update About Elon Musk’s Mother
Pretoria, South Africa – In a deeply emotional and unexpected development, urgent news has emerged from Pretoria just 40 minutes ago regarding the mother of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. The Musk family has officially confirmed that Maye Musk, the iconic figure known not just as Elon’s mother but also as a model, dietitian, and motivational figure in her own right, is currently hospitalized and in critical condition at the age of 76.
The statement, which was released to Elon Musk’s global followers and supporters, described the situation as “serious and evolving,” urging the public to respect the family’s privacy during this extremely difficult time.
A Life of Strength and Grace
Maye Musk has long been a symbol of resilience, independence, and elegance. Born in Canada and raised in South Africa, she became one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling world later in life, breaking industry norms around age and redefining what it means to age gracefully. Her modeling career spans more than five decades, including historic covers on magazines such as Time, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
But her story has never been limited to the fashion world. A respected dietitian with multiple degrees in nutritional science, Maye raised her three children — Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca — largely as a single mother. Despite facing financial hardship and personal challenges, she instilled in her children a relentless drive to succeed, emphasizing hard work, curiosity, and resilience.
Her role in Elon Musk’s life has been widely acknowledged as formative. Elon himself has often spoken about the influence of his mother’s determination, independence, and intellect on his journey from a curious child in Pretoria to the world’s most prominent tech visionary, with companies like SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and X (formerly Twitter) under his leadership.
What We Know So Far
The exact nature of Maye Musk’s condition has not been disclosed in detail. Family representatives have only confirmed that she was admitted to a Pretoria medical center earlier today, and that her condition is being closely monitored by a team of specialists. It is understood that close family members, including Elon Musk, are en route or already present to be by her side.
Reports suggest that Maye had been in South Africa for a brief personal visit and public engagement, but began experiencing sudden health complications early this morning. Emergency services were called shortly after, and she was rushed to the hospital where she remains in intensive care.
Outpouring of Support
Within minutes of the announcement, social media platforms were flooded with messages of support, sympathy, and prayers for Maye Musk. Admirers, public figures, and fans around the world have expressed their deep concern and offered heartfelt tributes.
A trending hashtag, #PrayForMaye, has already begun circulating globally, with thousands of users sharing anecdotes, inspirational quotes from Maye, and appreciation for her trailblazing contributions to both fashion and wellness.
Awaiting Updates
At this time, the Musk family has asked for space and privacy, though they promised to provide more updates as soon as they are available. Elon Musk has not yet posted a public statement, but sources close to him describe him as “deeply distressed” and “fully focused on his mother’s care.”
This news comes as a reminder that behind every icon is a family, and behind every public figure is a network of love, history, and human vulnerability. The world now watches and waits, hoping for a positive update on a woman who has inspired so many through her strength, grace, and unwavering spirit.
Our thoughts are with Maye Musk, Elon Musk, and their family during this difficult time.
