On Nov. 26, Maye Musk, mother of tech mogul Elon Musk, appeared on Fox Business’s Varney & Co. with host Stuart Varney. The conversation covered everything from her son’s growing influence in government to his personal relationship with Donald Trump. But as much as the interview touched on politics and business, what stood out most was Maye’s heartfelt pride in her son.
When Varney asked about the dynamic between Elon and Trump, Maye kept it simple and genuine: “They just seem to be having fun. A lot of fun. It’s nice for both of them to have fun,” she said with a warm smile. Although she’s seen them together, she noted, “Of course, I’ve seen them together, but very shortly. I live in New York, and they’re in Mar-a-Lago or at a SpaceX launch.”
This isn’t the first time Maye has gushed about her son’s brilliance. In a 2021 interview on CBS This Morning, she fondly recalled realizing Elon was special when he was just 3 years old. “I knew he was a genius,” she said.
