Maye Musk, a prominent model and the mother of entrepreneur Elon Musk, has voiced her support for actress Sydney Sweeney amid online criticism of Sweeney's nude sports advertisement. Musk, who herself appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit at age 74, defended Sweeney's right to "look sexy and have fun" in her professional roles.
"She’s a model. Well, she’s an actress, but she’s a model and modeling, you can look sexy and acting, you can look sexy and have fun," Musk stated during an interview on "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless." She added, "I think she’s fabulous. I mean beautiful, fabulous and she seems to have a great sense of humor. So she’ll need it." Musk also addressed issues of government spending, criticizing what she described as tax dollars being funneled to fraudulent entities. She highlighted the case of millions of dollars reportedly sent to an empty learning center in Minnesota, an exposé by independent journalist Nick Shirley.
Discussing her personal journey, Musk recalled the lengthy process of obtaining American citizenship. "When I moved to America, it took me 12 years to become a citizen," she said. "When I was there with the ceremony, I was just crying. I was so happy to be a citizen."
Musk contrasted her experience with the current situation of migrants receiving taxpayer-funded accommodations and benefits. She questioned the allocation of resources, suggesting that Americans are bearing an unfair financial burden.
The interview also touched on Musk's personal life, including her 18 grandchildren, for whom she has a simple holiday tradition: no presents, only hugs.
Musk's upcoming plans include attending a Tennessee Volunteers football game with host Tomi Lahren.
