May Mosk said that her son was shy, but brilliant.

Elon Musk's mother May on the show "Today with Hoda and Jenna" told what her son was like as a child. She noted that Elon Musk has always been a genius, but not everyone saw it.

"Because he was shy, they didn't see the genius. But I was the only person he had to talk to, and that's why I knew about that, because he would reason with me and remember everything that was going on," she said.

The entrepreneur's mother admitted that her son also did not like school, Hello reports.
