She married engineer Errol Musk in 1970 and gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to their eldest son Elon, second son Kimbal and youngest daughter Tosca.

Nine years later, she divorced her husband due to domestic violence. The 42-year-old Mei moved to Toronto, Canada from South Africa with her three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Meyer’s financial difficulties were very difficult after moving. She took care of three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren by herself, and she once cried because she had to watch the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren share the milk. At that time, in addition to being a model, Meyer was working five part-time jobs and continuing to study for a master’s degree. A family of four rented a small apartment with no furniture. But the first thing she did after getting her first salary was to buy a cheap carpet for a small apartment that didn’t even have a chair, and the second thing was to buy a computer for Elon, because her son showed Strong interest in technology.
