Musk's mother is apparently a powerhouse, too.

As Musk Consolidates Power in the U.S., His Mother Is in Demand Overseas

In the past six months, Maye Musk, the mother of Elon Musk, has been to China, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates, visits that come as foreign leaders are jockeying for influence over the Trump administration. Ms. Musk, 76, has for years traveled the world to model, speak and promote her memoir. But lately she seems to be even more in demand, especially outside the United States. And her celebrity has taken on greater significance now that Mr. Musk has considerable influence over how billions of dollars in military spending and foreign aid will get paid out.

In late 2024, she visited China at least four times to endorse or model for seven brands there, including makeup products, down jackets and massage devices. Her visits were promoted by state media outlets, which in the past have quoted her calling for improved ties between the United States and China...

Her activities raise the possibility that foreign governments could see her as a conduit to Mr. Musk, said Scott Amey, the general counsel for the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group. “The fear is,” he said, “would people be using her to get one degree of separation from her son and two degrees of separation from the Oval Office?”

Thank you for the news (to me) of Musk's mother's activities and hope her future activities are reported too. I always try to remember that while the West think in 5 year plans, the Chinese think in 30.

Your link goes to the paywall but I searched on archive, using the url you from your post and found it here

He's a cunt.

What do you mean "too"? Her son isn't a powerhouse, he's a drug-addled moron.

Maye Musk: “When I had my children, we were in a two-bedroom small apartment overlooking a garage. Then the next year, I had a second child, we had an apartment with a view. By the third child, we could get a two-bedroom house. As you move on, you start doing better and better. You don't have to go to the movies, you don't have to go out to dinner. […] The most wonderful gifts you could ever have is the children. I never felt like I was sacrificing anything. As soon as I could afford some help in the house, I opened my dietetics practice in my home. My career was on hold for a short while, but so worth it. Have children, add value to your life.”

Her oldest child is 53. Times have changed. It’s a lot harder to put a roof over your head now than it was back then. She’s older than me but not by so much much that I don’t remember when feeding and housing your family didn’t take 2 incomes and still you may never own your own home. I think this sort of advice is ridiculous now. But of course it’s been promoted by those who want women back in the home having babies, and men out working (in an environment of little job security, too), which is a patently unrealistic scenario for so many these days.

Yes, literally.

I love this post.

And his dad has had 2 kids with his stepdaughter....

What a family. 🙄

I would add 'dangerous' to that description of Elon Musk.

Thanks, that's exactly why I try to include enough information so others can search on their own if need be.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Has the word 'powerhouse' changed its definition?

I really think they are.

Did you mean ‘shithouse’, OP?

🤣🤣🤣
