Maye Musk talks modeling career, escaping an abusive relationship and being Elon's mom

Maye Musk, mother to Elon Musk, appeared on CBS Mornings to discuss her new memoir "Timeless: The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age." During the interview, Maye spoke about her modeling career and overcoming an abusive relationship. She also defended her son, saying that he "just wants to do good in the world," but acknowledges this often means stepping on others' toes. When asked if Elon was on the autism spectrum as a child, she said he might have been somewhat awkward but was always exceptionally intelligent and driven. Maye criticized those who attack her son, calling them mean and unaccomplished herself. She highlighted that despite criticism, Elon has worked towards what is best for America and the world, even advocating for Mars exploration if necessary. This interview comes after Elon's controversial tenure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency during President Trump’s administration, where he overhauled federal agencies and cut funding for various programs.
