With fashion houses shuttered globally and new collections put on hold amid the coronavirus crisis, Elon Musk's mother decided to lend a hand to those whose livelihoods were disrupted by widespread lockdowns. She set up a makeshift catwalk right inside her own residence.
At 71, the model belongs to an age group considered high-risk, so she cannot venture outside. Yet she remains deeply dedicated to her lifelong profession.

Maye not only added some sparkle to her otherwise monotonous days during self-isolation but also offered encouragement to everyone impacted by the pandemic. She urged her fellow models to join a similar flash mob and host their own fashion presentations at home. Her followers admire both her inner strength and her timeless beauty. Mrs. Musk received an outpouring of praise and heartfelt wishes. Many loyal fans pleaded with her to remain indoors during these trying times and prioritize her well-being.
Maye Musk's modeling journey began long before she gave birth to her son, who would later become a globally recognized entrepreneur. In 1969, she earned the title "Miss South Africa." The following year, she wed Elon's father, and in 1971, her first child was born.
