Maye Musk, the mother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, celebrated her 77th birthday in Mumbai with a special gesture from her son, who sent her a bouquet from afar.
Sharing a photo on X with the flowers, Maye wrote, "Thank you, Elon, for sending these beautiful birthday flowers to me in Mumbai. Love m."
The former model and dietitian is currently in India.
For the Musk family, birthday traditions are meaningful events. Maye has shared in the past that her children plan something special for her every five years. The 77-year-old also posted throwback pictures with her children - Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca - from celebrations every five years.
Elon Musk replied to the post, "Love you, Mom. Thanks for everything." Maye responded with a "Thank you."
Earlier, Maye Musk also showed her support for India. She reposted a message from PM Modi, who recently had a conversation with Elon Musk. PM Modi's post read, "Spoke to Elon Musk and talked about various issues, including the topics we covered during our meeting in Washington DC earlier this year. We discussed the immense potential for collaboration in the areas of technology and innovation. India remains committed to advancing our partnerships with the US in these domains."
Maye responded with emojis - a heart-eyed smiley and the Indian flag.
Elon Musk confirmed he would visit India later this year, with Tesla's much-anticipated electric vehicle launch on the horizon.
