Maye - The Force Be With You
Harper's Bazaar Malaysia|November 2018

Maye Musk, CoverGirl model, dietician, and mother of Tesla founder Elon Musk, chats with Esther Wojcicki, mother of Youtube CEO Susan Wojcicki, about life in their 70s, raising trailblazing children, and moving to Mars.

Maye - The Force Be With You

Esther Wojcicki: I must congratulate you on your 70th birthday. How are you feeling about the milestone?

Maye Musk: I had been looking forward to it because I feel like things are going to take off in my 70s. How old are you?

EW: I’m 72.

MM: I’m younger than you.

EW: Yes, so much younger. Your modelling career is amazing.

MM: It is amazing! I was always just a model with three kids. Nobody knew who I was, but it didn’t matter. Now I’m an influencer, so I get to do interviews and use them as a platform to talk about nutrition and go on glamorous fashion shoots like this one for Harper’s BAZAAR. It’s beyond!

EW: at makes me feel very good, too. Any tips for aspiring models of any age?

MM: I’ve always had my own business as a dietician, so I eat well. You must maintain a steady weight, especially at our age, as the cholesterol starts to shoot up.

EW: What about your beauty routine? How do you always look so good? Maybe you can help me.

MM: I eat well to keep my skin looking good, and I stay out of the sun. I put on SPF if I’m going outside, even with a hat on. I always have a moisturiser on my face and lip balm because my lips get dry.
