Met Gala 2022: Elon Musk jokes around on red carpet as gorgeous mom Maye, 74, wows fans
Maye Musk stole the spotlight among all the famous Hollywood celebs who are making statements with their outfits at the Met Gala 2022. She graced the biggest fashion event with her billionaire son and businessman Elon Musk for the 'Gilded Glamour' event. The world's richest man was accompanied to the ceremony by his mother, Maye, a 74-year-old Canadian-South African model.
On the red carpet, the billionaire wore a modest white tie tuxedo to match the event theme. Maye, on the other hand, chose a burgundy Dior gown and accessorized it with a striking multi-strand pearl necklace, strappy heels, and a sharp end Dior purse. Musk's appearance at the top fashion event with his mother drew a mixed response from viewers, with some appreciating the mother-son outing and others questioning the SpaceX founder's attendance.

One user wrote on Twitter, “He’s being a good son escorting his mom to a formal event. I love it 👍” “You both look lovely and handsome. Nice to see son and mother together and happy,” another user added. “Oh my gosh, what an absolute delight to see a beautiful woman who truly has class! With her son treating her like a lady? This is too much. There really MUST be a God,” yet another person remarked.
However, not everyone was impressed just like one person pointed out, “How did Elon Musk end up at the met gala?” “Telling that the world’s billionaires can’t find happiness with families or wives, but instead with mommies or girlfriends,” another added. Meanwhile, Maye's last Met Gala visit was in 2016 when she made a fashion statement at the 'Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology' party. Yuna Yang created a blue jumpsuit with a long cloak for her.
Meanwhile, when asked about the reason to bring his mom to the event, the Tesla CEO simply replied, “My mom wanted to come, so I brought her." Previously, Elon, made an appearance at the Met Gala event when he used the glamorous event in 2018 to make his relationship with singer Grimes official. The recent sighting of the SpaceX CEO Elon Musk comes after his controversial deal to purchase Twitter for $44 billion. Twitter had announced that it has 'entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk.'

According to the Daily Mail, during the Met Gala event, Musk also stopped to chat with Vogue's Livestream anchor La La Anthony where he was asked about his future objectives for the famous microblogging platform, to which Musk replied, “[It] would be to make Twitter as inclusive as possible, and to have as broad a swath of the country and the rest of the world on Twitter, and that they find it interesting and entertaining and funny, and that it makes their life better.”
