The Unsettling Portrait: Elon Musk and His Model Mother Maye Musk in a Photo by Annie Leibovitz

The famous billionaire at the head of Twitter (X), SpaceX and Tesla posed with his model mother Maye Musk. And the photo does not leave you indifferent.

The photo shoot carried out in New York by the famous photographer Annie Leibovitz, known for her portraits of stars, brought together two. In the Musk family, mother and son.

We no longer present Elon Muskboss of the automobile company Tesla and the Astronautical Society SpaceXand also X (l’ex-Twitter), the richest man in the world and renowned for his eccentric side. But some may have missed his mother Maye Muska well-known and successful model muse of L’Oréal.

So for her exhibition which began on September 16, “Annie Leibovitz At Work”, the photographer did not hesitate.

A photo that looks like a painting but that makes you a little uncomfortable. The artist’s work is sublime but highly criticized for the message it sends on the links between Elon Musk and his mother.

A rather cold, not very warm photo

The colors are cold, the decor non-existent and very metallic. In the background, the window shows a New York landscape, but the two protagonists seem a little strange.

Elon Musk, dressed in black, sits leaning on an iron table, his face not smiling. As for his mother, Maye Musk, she is placed in the center of the photo. Dressed in a white shirt, she is positioned behind her son as if they were both sitting astride a bench that cannot be seen. She doesn’t smile either, but her head lift is dignified.

What message did the artist want to convey? Everyone has a different feeling but this photo is not a warm snapshot….

The very proud mother of the photo

Maye Musk, for her part, seems delighted and cheerful by this photo. She also posted it on her Instagram account praising her son and the photographer.

She explains: “I was really excited to do this photo shoot with Elon, my incredible son and by the legendary Annie Leibovitz.”

Before adding with humor: “Luckily, my son had five minutes to devote to it when he was in New York.”

And to conclude by promoting the exhibition “Annie Leibovitz At Work” where visitors will be able to admire the portrait which is taking place at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville until January 29, 2024.
