[@immeohmyoh]

You have no proof

[@juancpgo]

Interesting. I would say that such child will have a very optimist outlook on life, like nothing can touch them. Whenever we see our mothers sad, life immediately feels nihilistic to us, and once we experience that feeling, we acquire a permanent fear of it. Just being happy may be the best way to raise children. I would say being happy but also making sure your children do stuff on their own immediately as they are cognitively capable of so. Like, once they have some basic hand and arm coordination they should make their bed, and should be obliged so. Nobody should ever help you if you don't actually need it. Otherwise you're effectively a pain in the ass.

May Musk is the definition of Motherhood. She has an abundance of grace, intellect, charm, and compassion. No wonder her children are so incredibly successful.

[@Angela-cc1hd]

Of course it helped marrying a rich man who apparently had an Emerald Mine in South Africa, and although she divorced him as he was abusive, lets be realistic she has never known Poverty like most women who are single parents😮 Elon was brought up in wealthy family so it obviously was a very good start in life🙂

[@karinvancaspel]

A lot of people are brought up ‘not poor’ though, and an abusive father is not to be taken lightly. Surely they have a lot of privilege, but when you look at all the children of famously rich parents, you can see that money alone is not a guarantee to succes.

That teaching is why he divorced his wife who gave him 5 sons. He worships himself and anyone who is not productive to his ideals and success must be expunged. He will not have an expected end. He is a lost human being. He is poor and thinks he is rich.

[@jennpark8559]

Sharing triumph over adversity and abuse is showing the person is a survivor not a victim. It's my pet peeve listening to people say "stop being a victim," when a survivor fights to be heard and demands the abuser be exposed or held accountable. The second i hear "dont play victim," or stop being a victim i know i'm listening to a narcissist and someone completely out of touch with reality. Someone who has suffered too little to have empathy for others or the wisdom that comes with great suffering

Wow I never thought about that. My mum was in an abusive relationship. This video would give her emotional strength.

[@helaasgard273]

Don't believe the statistics. I technically raised my kids on my own completely( my youngest was 10 months old) and the number of deviant, unruly, horrible kids I saw with two parents always amazed me while mine were well-behaved, creative, having dreams and planning their future. I did work at home most of the time so they were never alone in the evenings and I made sure I played, read and watched good, inspirational films together with them. They both turned out to be great, unselfish young adults, who don't waste away their life with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or partying. In hindsight, being financially restrained was actually good for them, I realise now, as they can appreciate every little thing in life. I've also shared my love for animals with them and my persistence- I never give up. Strangely enough, my parents were not like that at all- I got my strength and optimism from my Christian faith, the Bible.

She did not grow up that way….all treated equally….all equal. Elon is very gifted, and a lot of people admire and love him. I know I do, and support him in his efforts to help us. She has her gifts, he has his. Maybe you like the way she helps others. I like that too, and I like ways that Elon is helping too.

What an attitude. She's a delight. This is the definition of a role model. Beautiful outside and inside.

This amazing lady Maye Musk is an inspiration to all women worldwide. Thank you for sharing. Bless 💖🌸💖

[@Nannasrevival]

She truly is a remarkable woman and I loved the energy and positivity she brought to this interview. Maye has certainly achieved a lot in her life. She is still working, and is such a role model for women who have been in abusive relationships, showing that you can achieve whatever you want to. You just have to reach out and grab it. 🌹

Interesting and beautiful woman. I love her attitude on age, weight, education and depression. Thanks so much for your insights on life.

What an absolutely beautiful & graceful woman. Also very real & relatable. A joy & an inspiration to watch x

[@ZoOnTheYT]

A single mom, a PhD scientist and a professional model. Yeah, right. What is this "fictional" woman's name? Maye Musk, Elon's mum I stand corrected.

[@saraswatkin9226]

Zojar F it's easy when you have the right background, family and friends support.

[@ZoOnTheYT]

@@saraswatkin9226 Having financial means helps with a lot. But she left her husband because he was abusive. She earned 2 Master's degrees before her PhD. That's just hard work, whichever way you cut it. The modeling thing also requires work and sacrifices even if the initial reason she was able to do it was genes and status.

[@angelavermaak2591]

I'm South African, mentally & emotionally we're strong, happy & balanced. We always make a plan! Well rounded upbringing. Maye is the epitome of a good SA woman!! Maye, you go girl!! 🇿🇦❤🇿🇦❤🇿🇦 💐

[@brusselsprout5851]

In "those days" it was easier for us to run away from abuse with the children. Good on her. The United States is still not a safe place to be for a woman after divorce. Something is seriously wrong in this country. I don't know why people don't see it. There's no moss under this woman's feet. What inspiration she is.

[@willienelson3255]

Ms Maye is beautiful, loving, graceful, humble and more so very intelligent having al these qualities embedded in oneself is being successful and this achievement makes her happy and full of life, though she has gone through all the difficulties and hardship to achieve th present status. She is a roll model for many young women all over the world. Salute to her and May God bless her with all her wishes.

[@shirlcrane3838]

I just love her, she’s so real. She’s experienced the good times and the bad like all of us have. When you look at her at first, you think she’s had a charmed life. Elon and his siblings are very fortunate to have a mother who was such a bright light to guide.

Hi how’re you doing?

[@tammiepulley7167]

The whole family is smart and they have good hearts, except the ex-husband. The ex husband and the grandfather were both pilots and had their own planes. They were explorers and engineers. So maybe that influenced Elon to want to fly and explore, I e Space Ex. Maye is amazing and inspiring. I hope she has another book in her and I hope her prince comes along. Someone should treat her like the princess that she is. I enjoyed her book and highly recommend it. Great interviewer.

[@hollystiener16]

You should read Justine Musk's book. Elon was pretty terrible to her. Not abusive, but bordering on it emotionally.
