In a fascinating revelation from Elon Musk’s early years, the tech titan’s mother, Maye Musk, recently shared a vivid memory on X about a daring escapade her son embarked upon as a child. Musk’s determined nature, even at a young age, surfaced in an old video, recounting an incident that unfolded during his grounding.
I remember this well. I think he was five because he couldn’t read yet. We still wonder how he crossed the streets and no one tried to stop him. Horrifying😮 https://t.co/ldk90SBKrJ

During the video, Musk recounted his bold decision to defy being grounded and attend a play with his cousins on the other side of town. “I could barely read signs, and this was a foolish thing to do. Something terrible could have happened – I could have been kidnapped or run over,” Musk reflected. Undeterred by the risks, the young Musk walked across the entire capital city to reach his destination.
Maye Musk, reacting to the video, expressed amazement at her son’s audacious feat, recalling, “I remember this well. I think he was five because he couldn’t read yet. We still wonder how he crossed the streets and no one tried to stop him. Horrifying.”
