For Elon Musk’s mom’s 50th birthday, Elon and his brother gave her a house and a car.

But they were just little wooden models 😂
The brothers said they’d only just started their business and had no money, but one day they’d buy her the real thing.

Maye thought the boys were so sweet at the time.

Little did she know that about a year later, Compaq would buy Zip2 for around $300 million, and the brothers would really let their mom pick out the house and car she wanted.

Just like that, Maye moved from a tiny studio apartment that cost $1,000 a month to an apartment in Manhattan.

Still, when she talks about it, she has one regret: she didn’t keep the little wooden house her sons gave her back then.$SPCX
