Working as a model, she received a bachelor's degree in dietetics, and then, while studying in the evening model school, graduated from the master's degree. She did not know that she would work as a model all her life, so she worked hard on education: "I had to study well to prove that I am not stupid, because many people are so accustomed to thinking about models." Mei everywhere carried with him books and taught himself to read books.

In 1970, Mae was married to a civil engineer Errol Mask.
June 28, 1971, nine months after the wedding, the couple was born firstborn Elon. After about a year he had brother Kimball, and soon sister Longing. In 1979, when she was eight years old, his parents filed for divorce. According to may, in the first year after the breakup with her husband, it was not easy for her: she moved to Toronto with her children and found herself without financial support: her Bank accounts in South Africa were frozen.

To the same for year she gained 18 kilograms. Even then she began to joke that it was one of the best events in her life: excess weight helped her understand how difficult it is to lose weight, and take this into account in her practice as a nutritionist. Then, at 32, she became one of the first popular plus-size models, but got rid of extra pounds. But now the children tell a joke in an interview that their house never had food.

Mei never had to worry if her children are your way in life: "I didn't Have time for this". Indeed, she wasn't planning on the lives of children from before, didn't check their homework, and at school they even learned to sign for mom to control. The guys were often left to themselves and grew very independent. Musk is not a prey that he paid the children a little attention and calmly admits: "I was the perfect mother."
Most of all, Musk wanted her children to learn how to work hard, because that's what makes a person happy and does not get old. Her recipe is simple: "The more you work, the more successful you become. My children know me as a person who worked very hard. They are workaholics themselves."

On the question of what Elon learned from his mother, she replied: "I Hope that he took my views on life." According to her, Ilona does not need yachts and expensive things, because he lived in difficult financial conditions: "His goal is to use the knowledge of physics to make this world a better place. People think they're driven by a selfish motive. But it is not. And I'm very upset when people say about my son, " Oh, he just wants to make more money.” No, money was never important to him. He's just obsessed with his idea."
