Elon Musk's supermodel mother renews Taiwan publishing deal for autobiography

International supermodel and author Maye Musk, mother of tech billionaire Elon Musk, has extended her publishing partnership in Taiwan for another six years. The 78-year-old announced the renewal of her contract with Taiwanese publisher Crown Culture for her autobiography, "A Woman Makes a Plan."

“

I am very happy that my Taiwanese publisher and we have renewed the book publishing contract for 6 years.

Musk shared the news on Instagram, choosing "Taiwan Traditional Music" as the background audio for her post, a deliberate nod to her renewed collaboration with the island's publishing industry. The book's traditional Chinese version is published by Crown Culture, and the extended partnership signifies its ongoing presence and market value in Taiwan.

Beyond the contract renewal, Musk also celebrated her features in "Tatler Taiwan" and "ELLE Taiwan," which quoted passages from her book. She reiterated her life philosophies, including the belief that "I'd rather be remembered as 'funny' than 'beautiful' on my tombstone" and that "the harder you work, the luckier you get." These sentiments aim to inspire women to embrace life's challenges.
