What is the profession of Elon Musk's mom, Maye Musk?

The story behind the answer

Model is correct. Maye Musk is a Canadian–South African model with a career spanning five decades, gracing covers like Vogue and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and even becoming a CoverGirl ambassador later in life—breaking age barriers in fashion.

She’s also a registered dietitian-nutritionist with advanced degrees, which can mislead people toward “biologist” or “professor,” but her most public and enduring profession is modeling. Memory tip: “Model mom Maye”—the alliteration links her name and role to Elon Musk’s famous family.
