Just one minute ago, Maye Musk, the 76-year-old matriarch of the Musk clan, shattered her silence with a bombshell X post about her son Elon Musk and grandson X Æ A-Xii, sending shockwaves through the internet. The cryptic message, dropped at 5:49 p.m. PST, comes amid swirling drama over Elon parading the 4-year-old—known as “X”—in the Oval Office on February 11, and it’s got everyone buzzing.
“I’m worried sick about X and Elon,” Maye wrote on X, her first public comment since the White House fiasco. “This isn’t what I raised him for—X needs a childhood, not a spotlight. Enough is enough!” The post, already racking up 1 million views, hints at a family rift as Elon, 53, doubles down on his high-profile role in Trump’s administration.
X erupted instantly. “Maye’s calling Elon out—grandma’s had it!” one user posted, with the clip of her tweet spreading like wildfire. “She’s right—X isn’t a prop!” another wrote, referencing Grimes’ fury over the Oval Office stunt. #MayeSpeaks is trending, with fans gasping, “Mama Musk just threw shade!”
The timing’s no coincidence. Elon’s been flaunting X at political events—Capitol Hill, the White House—drawing ire from ex Grimes, who blasted him last week: “He should not be in public like this!” Maye’s post suggests she’s siding with Grimes, a rare crack in the Musk family facade. “She’s heartbroken seeing X dragged into this circus,” a source close to Maye told us. “She’s begged Elon to stop.”
Elon hasn’t replied—yet—but his last X post, a vague “Family is everything” at 5:30 p.m., now looks like a preemptive dodge. Trump, meanwhile, shrugged off the drama today, calling X “a cute kid” in a Fox News hit. Maye’s silence-breaker, though, steals the show—short, sharp, and loaded.
With X users split—“Maye’s a queen for this!” vs. “She’s meddling!”—and the Musk saga boiling, her one-minute-old cry has the world hooked. Is this a plea or a warning? Either way, Maye Musk just lit a fuse—and Elon’s in the hot seat.
