Maye Musk releases memoir 'Timeless' detailing family struggles

Maye Musk has released a memoir titled ‘Timeless’, which chronicles her journey through domestic violence, single motherhood, and eventual success. Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, Musk moved to South Africa as a child and later married Errol Musk in Pretoria in 1970.

In the book, she describes a marriage defined by fear and volatility, noting that her ex-husband once confronted her with a knife. Following her divorce, Musk raised her three children—Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca—largely on her own. Despite financial hardships, she earned a master's degree and established a career as a dietitian specializing in metabolic processes and nutritional disorders.

The memoir also touches on the early lives of her children, describing Elon Musk as a quiet, bookish child. It details the family's relocation from South Africa to Canada and their subsequent move to Silicon Valley, where Elon and Kimbal Musk began their entrepreneurial journeys in modest conditions before selling their first business for $307 million in 1999.
