Elon Musk: Genius at 17, as shown by his mother

Maye Musk posted the document on social media, with an emotional comment: "My genius boy. Proud mom." Conducted long before the founding of companies like Tesla, SpaceX, or xAI, the test shows the exceptional potential Musk displayed at a young age. Elon Musk himself remarked on the publication, recalling that he was told at the time that he had achieved the best result in the engineering aptitude test that had ever been seen.

The document confirms the technological abilities of the teenager who today leads a technological empire and is estimated by Forbes to have a fortune exceeding $421 billion. The billionaire's mother regularly notes the family's modest beginnings, especially after her divorce in 1979, when she raised her children with limited financial resources.

Maye Musk often reminisces about the challenging period of raising her children. In an interview with Fox News, she quoted her son saying, "I always wanted Coco Pops, but we only got Raisin Bran." These memories contrast starkly with Elon Musk's current status as one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. Despite this, Maye asserts that even now, when she visits her son, she stays in humble conditions, explaining: "You can't have a fancy house near a rocket site."

At the same time, as the test results were being shared, Elon Musk remained in the media spotlight due to his projects like the artificial intelligence initiative Grok, and his controversial political statements. His role as CEO of Tesla is becoming increasingly uncertain amid growing investor concerns.

It is important to note that the release of these test results also sparked discussion among internet users. Some questioned the relevance of past tests, noting that results can change over time, while others criticized Musk's success story, pointing out the controversies surrounding his career and personal life.
