A lot of fun. It\u2019s nice for both of them to have fun,\u201d she said with a warm smile. Although she\u2019s seen them together, she noted, \u201cOf course, I\u2019ve seen them together, but very shortly. I live in New York, and they\u2019re in Mar-a-Lago or at a\u00a0<strong>SpaceX<\/strong>\u00a0launch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Elon\u2019s business ventures often dominate headlines, Maye highlighted how much her son respects Trump and feels optimistic about the country\u2019s future. \u201cHe really respects him a lot and is really happy that there\u2019s a future for America now,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation shifted to government spending, a topic Elon is reportedly passionate about. When asked if he\u2019s excited about reducing federal expenses, Maye answered, yes, adding \u201cbecause it\u2019s going to be very easy.\u201d She pointed to Elon\u2019s swift actions after acquiring Twitter in 2022, where he made immediate changes, including significant layoffs, as an example of his no-nonsense approach.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/ht-img\/img\/2024\/11\/27\/1600x900\/KAZAKHSTAN-WOMEN--26_1732719005219_1732719029055.JPG\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/ht-img\/img\/2024\/11\/27\/1600x900\/KAZAKHSTAN-WOMEN--26_1732719005219_1732719029055.JPG\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<p><script><![CDATA[(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\n]]><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Maye also gave her thoughts on government inefficiencies, recalling meetings she\u2019d attended where the first issue discussed was getting federal employees back to work.

And most won\u2019t want to come back to work,\u201d she remarked.

I think he\u2019s the genius of the world, and people are loving him for that.\u201d She added, \u201cWhen they see me, they go crazy because I\u2019m his mother,\u201d but clarified that admiration for Elon isn\u2019t just about his success. \u201cThey respect him, and I\u2019m very proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Maye has gushed about her son\u2019s brilliance.
