Maye Musk, mother of billionaire Elon Musk, went on social media and said she raised her three children with a focus on universal kindness and religious diversity, telling them, "We were taught to love everyone."Shared Message Of Loving EveryoneIn an X post on Thursday, Maye Musk reflected on raising her children with Christian values, stating that her three children were christened in the Methodist Church and attended Episcopalian Sunday school. She highlighted that she herself attended a Protestant Sunday school and was married by a Christian minister, emphasizing that regardless of the specific denomination, the core lesson remained to “love everyone.”My three children were christened in the Methodist Church. I taught them at the Episcopalian Sunday school. I went to a Protestant Sunday school and was married by a Christian minister. We were taught to love everyone. https://t.co/8NbWZiilOL— Maye Musk (@mayemusk) February 19, 2026Don't Miss:Maye quoted a reply by Elon Musk on the discussion of Christian faith, stating, “I agree with the teachings of Jesus.” In 2022, he elaborated that he finds “profound wisdom” in principles such as love, kindness, and forgiveness.The Tesla co-founder’s reply was in response to an X user who suggested someone should “evangelize” him.
