The 74-year-old mother, who currently resides in New York City, opened up about her close relationship with her 51-year-old son. Even though her son is the richest person in the world, Maye revealed that Elon is not interested in possessions at all.
SpaceX's headquarters are not very opulent. Notably, California-based SpaceX is a company that manufactures spacecraft, conducts space launches, and provides satellite communications. "You can’t have a fancy house near a rocket site," Maye told.
Earlier this year, Elon himself had stated that he doesn't even own a home and stays at friend's places. This came after he revealed, in 2020, his intention of selling all his properties. The SpaceX CEO then later said that his primary residence is a rental from SpaceX, worth $50,000.
I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house.

Maye shares three children - Elon, Kimbal and Tosca - with her ex-husband, Errol Musk. She recalled the hard times she went through after the end of her marriage with Errol and stated that it was 'horrifying' as the family was going through persistent financial problems.
