JAKARTA - Maye Musk, who is Elon Musk's mother, revealed several things related to her child. Including the way he raised children and Elon Musk stories from childhood.

Launching Futurism, in an interview with People magazine, Maye Musk revealed that he already knew that his son was destined to do great things when Musk was a toddler.

"At the age of three years, I know he's a genius, but you still do not know if he will do great things," said Maye as quoted by VOI from People via Futurism.

"Because many geniuses end up in dungeons, geniuses however can't use their geniuses," said Maye. "Then I got excited when he started Zip2 because it made life easier with door-to-door directions and then the newspapers took you to a restaurant."

For additional information, Zip2 is a company founded by Elon Musk and his younger brother, Kimbal Musk, in 1995. The company focuses on marketing city guides through printed media.

"Then he felt the banking system needed help, so he created PayPal," added the mother. "After that, he thought whether to do space research or solar power or electric cars? I said pick one, and of course he didn't listen to me. "

The billionaire does not stop at that stage alone. With Tesla's revenue skyrocketing in recent years, that has made Elon Musk wealthy. In fact, now Musk and Jeff Bezzos are competing to become the richest people on earth.

Maye Musk also provides a number of suggestions for parents who want to make their child the next Elon Musk.

"People often ask me how I raise my children to be that successful," he wrote in a book called A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success, published by Penguin US in December 2019.

"I raise children by letting them follow their interests," he wrote. “If they want to open a business and you think that's a good idea, support them. Teach your children good behavior. But let them decide what they want. "
