When it comes to Tesla, even Elon Musk’s mom doesn’t get special treatment. Maye Musk, the 76-year-old model, dietitian, and mother of the world’s richest man, recently confirmed that she paid full price for her Tesla, just like any other customer.
In a recent interview, Maye revealed that despite her close relationship with Elon, she didn’t receive any discounts or special deals on her Tesla purchase. Elon’s strict “no discounts” policy applies to everyone, including family. His philosophy? “Everyone’s family,” meaning no one gets preferential treatment. Whether you’re a stranger or his own mother, the price remains the same.
But Maye isn’t upset about it. In fact, she seems to admire her son’s commitment to fairness. When asked about paying full price, she reportedly smiled and said, “That’s cute.” Her reaction highlights the Musk family’s unique dynamic, where principles and fairness come before favoritism.
Elon Musk’s approach to Tesla’s pricing has always been transparent and consistent. He’s made it clear that there are no negotiations or special discounts, ensuring every customer is treated equally. “Everyone pays the same,” Musk has said, reinforcing his dedication to fairness in business.
For Maye, who has been a vocal supporter of her son’s ventures for years, this is just another example of Elon’s unwavering principles. She’s often seen at Tesla events, SpaceX launches, and even shares her pride in his achievements on social media.
While some might find it surprising that Elon’s own mother didn’t get a discount, those familiar with his no-nonsense business style likely aren’t shocked. Elon runs a tight ship, and that means even his mom is treated like any other Tesla customer.
And Maye? She’s perfectly fine with it. After all, it’s just business.
