ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - One proud mum– billionaire Elon Musk’s mother is sharing her pride in her son’s very successful career and how it all started with good grades.
Maye Musk shared a screenshot of Elon’s first-year results at the University of Pretoria for a computer aptitude test when he was just 17.
The South African born, Pretoria native extraordinaire created a multi-billionaire dollar car empire in Telsa. Elon was a UP student for just five months before moving to Canada to live with his mother.

Musk surpassed Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos as the world’s wealthiest person. His realisation of this, he said: “How strange, well, back to work…”
.??@elonmusk? I found your computer aptitude test from when you were 17. If I remember correctly, they had to retest you because they had never seen such a high score. No wonder you are such a brilliant engineer. #ProudMom pic.twitter.com/7sGxAvLF4r
