Why It Matters: The aptitude scores offer insight into Musk’s early technical abilities, long before founding companies like SpaceX and becoming CEO of Tesla. These early indicators of technical prowess preceded his emergence as the world’s richest individual, currently worth over $381 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Despite her son’s immense wealth, Maye Musk recently revealed she sleeps in modest accommodations when visiting him. “You can’t have a fancy house near a rocket site,” she explained in a previous interview, referencing his Texas SpaceX facility.
Maye has frequently recounted the family’s humble beginnings following her 1979 divorce, when financial constraints meant feeding her children bean stew rather than expensive cereals. “I remember Elon saying, ‘I always wanted Coco Pops, but we only got Raisin Bran,'” she told Fox News.
