Elon Musk, as you know, is the boss of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX’s mission. While Tesla Inc. is famous for its Tesla electric car, SpaceX or Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is its aerospace and space transportation services company.

Recently, he showed the world he means business by launching his Tesla Roadster car into space atop the first Falcon Heavy rocket to orbit the Sun, maybe forever!

However, back to Maye Musk, Elon’s mother, who is not only a glamorous model but a dietician of repute too. Besides Elon, she bore two more sons, Kimbal and Tosca Musk.
