Elon Musk‘s mother Maye is speaking out on the ‘malicious and dishonest’ Democrat party after leaving to join her son in support of the GOP and Donald Trump.
The 76-year-old model, who has become more outspoken about issues in the US of late, says the party’s treatment of her son made Musk reconsider how she felt about them.
Her news diet when she became an American citizen was full of typically liberal, conservative-bashing networks
But then, they’d also say Elon is terrible, and I was thinking, why are they lying about Elon?’
She continued: ‘They really just cut into my mind that they just didn’t know what they were doing,’ she said.

Musk believes now that the party could be lying about everything to hurt the United States.
‘Then when I resigned from the Democrats, I just felt such a relief that I’m not part of the party that’s now malicious and dishonest. And my biggest fear is the fraud they are committing at the voting booths,’ she told Fox Business.
It’s a long way from when Musk became a citizen in 1996 and willingly joined the left.
‘When I became a U.S. citizen, of course, I was Democratic because they give you that option and because they’re the good kind people who care about America,’ she said.
Musk is worried about her son now that he’s joined forces with Trump, funding a PAC supporting the former president and running a lot of his GOTV operations.
‘I always worry about Elon, but don’t forget: Biden is on X. Kamala Harris is on X…all the Democrats are on X,’ she said. ‘It’s horrifying, and as a mother, it terrifies me.’
However, mother Musk fully believes her son will be capable of running the proposed DOGE – Department of Government Efficiency – which plans to cut $2 trillion from federal spending.
‘I think more than $2 trillion. I think he was just being modest. I mean, look what he’s done with Twitter and X. It’s incredible,’ she said. ‘And then, of course, Tesla was idiotic to do, and we heard it’s idiotic. SpaceX was idiotic. And how is he doing now?’

In September, Maye took a shot at New York City for its homelessness and trash-strewn streets.
She posted photos on her X account of litter and what appears to be a person wrapped in a blanket laying on the sidewalk.
‘Early morning walk in downtown New York. Keeping my dog on a tight leash,’ she wrote in the post. ‘It didn’t used to be this way. It started the last two years. Why?’
In 2022, Maye criticized the New York Times for an article that said her son had ‘white privilege’ growing up in apartheid-era South Africa and was ‘detached from apartheid’s atrocities.’
In the article, the Times interviewed relatives and classmates of the Tesla founder, revealing that the communities he grew up in – Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban – were shrouded in misinformation that influenced its residents.
