The businesswoman of the film industry Tosca Musk revealed unpublished details of her life conditioned in part by being the younger sister of Elon Musk, who is usually valued as the richest person in the world. He also gave details of his personal life, from her family history marked by the sacrifice of her mother and the values ​​she instilled in him, to how he chose the sperm donor to conceive her twins.

In 2017 the younger sister of the Musk clan, 48 years old, founded Passionflixa streaming platform that adapts romantic novels into movies for the small screen.

“Naturally everyone assumes that my big brother pays for everything, but it’s not like that.“Said Tosca Musk, in an interview published on the British portal Daily mail. For example, when he wanted to rent a location to record, the owners raised the price when they found out he was related.

“The location was going to cost $5,000 a day but when they heard my name and figured we were rich, they decided to charge us $25,000. That not exactly fairright?'” wondered Tosca Musk, who often avoids referencing her successful brother in interviews.

“The Musk name is both a blessing and a curse, but I wouldn’t change it, even if I get overcharged for it!” he said.

The businesswoman maintained that “when your brother is Elon Musk, misconceptions abound”, in relation to the prejudices associated with the heirs of wealthy families. As she explained, this is not the case with the Musks, who were raised in their native South Africa by her mother, Maye, who worked up to five jobs to support them following fleeing an “abusive marriage.” “People think we were born rich, and it’s like: ‘ah, no’“, said.

The difficult childhood of the Musk brothers

Tosca Musk is the youngest of the trident made up of billionaire Elon, 51, and Kimbal, who got rich working in his brother’s companies and is also dedicated to the gastronomy industry. Born in South Africa, their history was marked by the separation of their parents, the model Maye and the military Errol Musk, in 1979 following an “abusive marriage”, when the only woman among the brothers was just five years old.

“There’s this perception that we had a lot of money growing up,” says Tosca, “but that’s not the truth. After my parents divorced, my mother, my brothers and I were together and we had no money,” she recounted.

Their mother, a model and aspiring nutritionist, worked as many as five jobs to raise her children and passed on “a fierce work ethic.” “The three of us have worked since we knew how to read and write”, assured Tosca, who worked assisting her mother as a receptionist since she was nine years old. At that time, Elon had sold his first computer program to a magazine when he was only twelve years old, and he also spent time explaining to his mother how the word processor worked.

The boys also accompanied Maye when she made medical visits, when she did internships as a nutritionist or during her work as a model. “She mightn’t afford childcare, so she would take us to work. Sometimes she would take us to fashion shows and we would all sit in the audience doing our homework, waiting for her to finish,” Tosca Musk detailed.

However, he considered that he had “a good childhood” despite the difficulties. “My family cared for and loved me. My mother always had the attitude that if you don’t like something, she comes up with a plan to change it.” You can’t just sit there and wallow in misery. That’s how all of us in the family have operated,” she added.

From South Africa to Canada

Young Tosca’s drive led her to follow in the footsteps of her brother Elon, who had moved to Toronto, Canada, at age 17 to further his computer science studies. “I thought we should go to Canada too, but my mom thought we should wait a few years. So when I was visiting my brother, I put our house up for sale, everything we owned, and tried to sell the car as well.”revealed.

The mother, meanwhile, was not angry but rather agreed with the decision of her teenage daughter, whom she had raised with “a lot of freedom” and, with her, “a lot of expected responsibility in the sense of: you must take care of yourself and you must learn cooking and cleaning,” she said, adding: “You had to support the people who were doing everything they might to support you in life.

In this way, the rest of the Musks moved to the Canadian city in search of better opportunities. “She never regretted it, even though I was the one missing my friends and wanted to go back (to South Africa),” she recounted.

His career in the film industry

In 2001 he wrote and directed his first film, Puzzled (with Elon, a mere millionaire at the time, acting as the film’s executive producer), and in 2017 he started Passionflix, a successful streaming service for romantic movies that in some cases were branded as “soft porn for women” (representing 90 percent of subscribers), something Tosca disapproves of.

“I think there’s a specific way men should touch women and how they should talk…and if you see a man gently caressing a woman’s face [en la pantalla]You can expect that from your partner. I hope my films show men how to behave towards women in a respectful and caring way,” she said.

How she chose the sperm donor to conceive her twins

Ten-year-old twins Isabeau and Grayson, Isabeau were conceived through a process of artificial insemination. “I was 37 years old and had just ended a relationship with a good person, but not someone you would want to marry. I wanted to have children, but I didn’t really want to be in a relationship with anyone to have these children with, so I decided to have them on my own with in vitro and an anonymous sperm donor.“, recounted Tosca Musk.

To find the perfect donor, Tosca worked with a “matchmaker” who suggested she find someone “who looks like her.” so that her children would look exactly like her. After evaluating various donor profiles and letters, she chose one with sporty characteristics to complement her Musk genes.

“I didn’t enjoy being pregnant at all. The birth was also horrible, horrible. I’m very happy with my two children, so I won’t have any more, and I’m very grateful that I had the ability and the opportunity to do this,” she said.
