A difficult start to success
At one glance at the majestically refined Mrs. Musk, it becomes clear that Elon simply had no choice but to become successful and famous. However, in May’s biography there are a lot of not at all bright moments.
The girl was born into a large family of Canada in 1948. May Haldeman was born on April 19 in Regina. Four more children grew up with her. In 1950, parents and children moved to Pretoria in South Africa. Researchers did not have enough time to educate offspring of the restless natures of researchers. Adults often traveled.
In 1952, they flew around the world in a small plane, from a dozen years they roamed the Kalahari desert, looking for the Lost City. They sent pictures, told about the progress of research. From an early age, children had to rely only on themselves. The child was well aware that no other expectations should be placed on the care and guardianship of other people.
The modeling career started at fifteen. From that moment May did not stop working. She managed to study well, trying to prove with an example that all the stereotypes about short-range models are wrong. The girl did not part with books, reading everywhere. This habit has been preserved for her for life. Mrs. Musk reads constantly while riding a bicycle.
May, at twenty-one, took part in a beauty contest. On won it, becoming Miss South Africa. The following year, the girl became the wife of engineer Errol Musk, whom she met at the university. Three children appeared in the family, sons Kimbal and Ilon, daughter of Tosca. The wife was engaged in modeling business. At the same time, she was educated. Musk chose the profession of a nutritionist. After the family moved to Canada, a talented lady managed to get a master's degree in her chosen specialty at the University of Toronto.
A winding path to a dream
May broke up with her husband. She had a very difficult time with one of the three babies. Together with her husband, the model lived for ten years. May simultaneously worked in five jobs to provide children. Everyone together had to tidy up a small rented apartment for a long time to make it suitable for living.
Due to harsh conditions, children also started working early. Before joining college, Ilon got a job at Microsoft. Toka began her career at the supermarket. May herself worked hard, while she did her best to help the children.
She covered their study bills, constantly traveled between Silicon Valley and Toronto to help her sons spend on office rent and support the newly founded company. An energetic lady even helped the children with their business plans. She admitted this in an interview, saying that all her offspring learned independence independently. May called all investments in the children's business her best investment.
Tosca became a film director and producer in Hollywood, Kimbal developed a restaurant chain of healthy eating in several states, worked with his mother on the educational project Learning Gardens, engineer, entrepreneur, investor and inventor Ilon founded the giant companies Tesla, PayPal and SpaceX"
All this time, their mother built her own career. She took place as a model in Canada. At the same time, she became a successful nutritionist. Thanks to the combination of these two sides of professional creativity, a woman looks great to this day. Her career did not end after thirty. For more than half a century, May has signed major contracts with leading firms.
