Elon Musk’s Mother Sees Greece’s Rich Potential for Wealthy Tourists

ATHENS – Maye Musk, a model, and dietitian, the mother of Twitter and Tesla owner Elon Musk, visited the popular Santorini island for the 1st International Luxury Tourism Conference and stated that Greece is an attractive destination for the affluent.

She expressed her fondness for the country and noted how it could easily entice even more of the world’s wealthy and super-wealthy, given the reduction of COVID-19 pandemic impact and the emergence of luxury resorts.

Maye Musk spoke at The Luxury Side of Greece conference, which was co-organized by Thira Municipality and Update Entertainment, using the alternative name by which the island is known, as reported by GTP Headlines.

At 75 years old, Maye Musk utilized her Twitter and social media accounts to praise Greece, sharing photographs of her day trip exploring Santorini, including a Tesla and a boat, while avoiding the massive crowds that have begun to arrive.

Musk, who has previously visited Greece and several of its islands, commended Greek hospitality and promoted her book, A Woman Makes A Plan.

In 2022, her son visited Greece on his yacht, which was docked off the popular but tourist-soaked island of Mykonos, notorious for its high number of visitors during the summer months and the accompanying price gouging.

The conference showcased several speakers, including government officials focused on comprehensive development that has overtaken Santorini to the point where the infrastructure cannot keep up, necessitating restrictions on the number of cruise ships permitted to dock.

Eliza Vozemberg, a Member of the European Parliament from Greece, also spoke at the conference, emphasizing the need to gain a larger percentage of the €150 billion ($168 billion) global luxury market.
