In an emotional and unexpected message released just minutes ago, Maye Musk, the mother of tech titan Elon Musk, has opened up about her son’s recent struggles — revealing for the first time that Elon has been dealing with a serious mental health issue that has quietly impacted his ability to work at full capacity.

Speaking with quiet strength and deep compassion, Maye said:
“Please understand my son. Elon has always carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, often in silence. He’s doing his best — but even geniuses are human.”
Her heartfelt statement comes amid growing speculation around Musk’s recent public absences, slowed project timelines, and noticeably fewer social media posts. Fans and analysts alike had been wondering if something deeper was going on — and now, for the first time, there’s clarity.
Maye continued:
“We’re sorry, but my son has tried his best. We hope everyone can understand that.”
The message has sparked an overwhelming outpouring of support from fans, fellow entrepreneurs, and even critics who’ve expressed empathy and respect for Musk’s relentless drive — and his humanity.
Hashtags like #WeStandWithElon and #MentalHealthMatters began trending within minutes of the statement going live, with thousands sending messages of encouragement.
Musk, who has often spoken about the emotional toll of his work and the immense pressure of leading multiple world-changing companies, has not yet responded personally to the statement — but sources close to him say he is “taking time to heal” and “surrounded by a trusted support network.”
A Global Reminder

Mental health advocates are praising Maye Musk’s courage in speaking up, noting that her words highlight a growing global conversation: even the most brilliant minds can suffer silently.
As one user commented:
“If someone like Elon Musk can face mental health challenges, it shows we all need to be more understanding — and more human.”
For now, the world waits — not just for the next Tesla or SpaceX breakthrough, but for the recovery of the man who helped build them.
