Maye Musk, mother of Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, revealed on Sunday a 1989 computer aptitude test showing her son’s exceptional engineering potential at age 17.
What Happened: “While sorting through photos, I came across computer aptitude test results of Elon Musk at 17. My genius boy. Proud mom,” the 77-year-old model and dietitian wrote on X.
The University of Pretoria document, dated May 17, 1989, shows Musk received A+ scores in both operating and programming on ISM tests, results that the tech mogul claimed were unprecedented.
“They said I scored the highest for engineering aptitude that they had ever seen,” Musk commented. “Or, in other words, not bad for a human, as a future AI might say.”
