When Elon Musk was barely old enough to walk, his mother — supermodel and nutritionist Maye Musk — already declared: “My son is a genius.”

Sounds bold, right? But the story she shared on NBC’s Today Show has left everyone stunned: Elon didn’t talk like a child — he reasoned like a full-grown man!

“Even as a toddler, Elon never asked ‘why’ just for fun. He wanted to understand everything — down to the tiniest detail. And what shocked me most was that he would argue back with perfectly logical reasoning,” Maye revealed.

While other kids were busy playing with sand, little Elon preferred to sit for hours, analyzing how things worked — from toy wheels to… why the moon doesn’t fall from the sky.

He didn’t just memorize everything — he used logic to communicate. To strangers, he was shy and quiet. But with his mother, Elon talked endlessly — as if his mind was overflowing with questions waiting for answers.

“His preschool once refused to admit him because he was too young,” Maye recalled. “I told them, ‘My son is a genius!’ They looked at me like I was crazy. But I knew I was right.”

At the time, no one believed her. But now the world knows — that little boy who loved to reason his way through everything grew up to be one of the greatest minds of the 21st century.

From a shy kid who debated with his mom every night, Elon Musk has become the “God of Technology,” ruling over electric cars, rockets, and AI — with a fortune surpassing $500 billion.

⚡ Perhaps geniuses aren’t made in labs — sometimes, they’re just curious little boys who won’t stop questioning everything… especially their moms.
