Maye Musk, Elon Musk’s mother, criticizes people who attack her grandson, saying such comments are “mean.” The remarks are reported in connection with online backlash involving Elon Musk’s son, with Maye Musk arguing that criticism aimed at the family is inappropriate.

The reports frame her statements as a response to negative attention directed at her grandson, highlighting a wider pattern of personal attacks that can accompany public figures’ high-profile roles. Across coverage, the emphasis remains on her defense of the child and her characterization of online critics’ behavior rather than on any specific new incident or policy dispute. The outlet presents her comments as a direct reply to those who target the younger Musk family member.

While the core story is her reaction to the attacks, the outlet’s angle centers on interpersonal tone—describing the criticism as harmful—rather than broader political or business context. The focus stays on her public stance and the social media atmosphere around the family.
