Maye Musk Makes History as Oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Star
At 74, Maye Musk—model, nutritionist, and mother of tech icon Elon Musk—is shattering stereotypes and making waves as the oldest woman ever to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition.
Reflecting on the bold moment, Maye shared, “If I had told someone I would pose in a swimsuit for Sports Illustrated, people would have locked me up and said I was crazy.” Now, she’s proudly proving that beauty, confidence, and empowerment have no age limit.
Her appearance marks a cultural shift. “Older women can wear swimsuits and look good too,” Maye said. “I think this will change how women feel about confidently wearing their swimsuits.”
