Musk's Mother Maye Just Became CoverGirl’s Oldest Spokeswoman

Some may think her greatest accomplishment was giving birth to PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, but Maye Musk has another important credential to add to her resume – the 69 year-old was just named a CoverGirl.

With half of a century of work experience as a model, Musk, a Canadian-born dietitian and nutritionist, also holds two master’s degrees and a contract with modeling agency IMG. Five years ago she made an appearance in Beyonce’s music video for “Haunted,” and she walked in a show during last week’s New York Fashion week.

But the Los Angeles-based grandmother of ten is making headlines this week as a result of her new CoverGirl beauty campaign – she’s the company’s oldest spokeswoman. On September 27th, she tweeted about her new role as a CoverGirl at the age of 69.
