During the interview, Campos-Duffy brought up this fact and asked Maye about her recent response to a comedian who had argued that it was too expensive to have children.
At the beginning of last month, Maye had responded to a post on
“Having children is the greatest gift of your life,” Maye wrote on X. “When Elon was born, we were in a small two-bedroom apartment overlooking a garage.”
‘When Kimbal was born, we moved into a two-bedroom apartment with a view. When Tosca was born, we moved into a two-bedroom house. All in the same area. We don’t go out to dinner or to the movies. As my ex-husband was promoted in the engineering company, we improved our lifestyle,” her message continued.
‘Then he opened his own engineering company and we were able to move to a beautiful house in a better area. Children bring you your greatest joy in the world. I never felt like I was sacrificing anything. As soon as I could afford some help at home, I opened my diet practice in my home. My career was on pause for a while, but it was worth it. Have children, add value to your life.’

Yesterday on Fox and Friends, Maye reiterated her points.
“You know, when I had my kids, we were in a little two-bedroom apartment overlooking a garage,” Maye explained on Fox and Friends.
“And then the next year I had a second child, we had an apartment with a view, and then with the third child we were able to get a two-bedroom house, and, you know, as you go along, you start doing it more and more.” better,” he continued.
“You don’t have to go to the movies, you don’t have to go out to dinner, just spend time with the most wonderful gifts you can have: children,” Maye concluded.
However, many X users did not seem to appreciate his opinion, as they wrote some seriously heated responses to the former supermodel.
‘Have children, but do nothing with them. Fantastic advice,’ one person was outraged.
Someone else wrote: “When I had my first child, we lived in a two-bedroom apartment above a garage.” He is so unconscious that he does not realize how much a two-bedroom apartment costs now.
“It’s always fascinating how rich people blatantly say that they don’t see other people as human beings, as if someone could say something like this and not be immediately hated by everyone,” wrote another.

However, many X users didn’t seem to appreciate her sentiment, as they wrote some very heated responses to the former supermodel.
A second chimed in: “It’s always funny watching the ultra-rich say what they say when they have no idea what they’re talking about.”
‘I’m fucking tired of rich bastards talking about whether working class people should have kids or not. You guys want your cake and eat it too. “You want the next working class generation to exploit it for wealth, but you don’t want to pay any taxes to contribute despite benefiting,” one X user admitted.
Others called Maye the “absolute epitome of privilege” and “detached from reality.”
In recent months, Maye’s son Elon has spent a lot of time with President-elect Donald Trump, even joining him on the Mar-a-Lago golf course with the New Yorker’s grandchildren.
Maye shed light on her son’s relationship with Trump during a recent appearance on Fox Business, laughing that they get along “very well.”
He even shared more about Trump’s youngest son, Barron, who is a freshman at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
‘The funny thing is that at Thanksgiving dinner, Barron and Elon were talking about planets. He is 18 years old. “They were discussing the different planets and why Mars is the best place to start a new civilization,” Musk shared about his son and Trump’s youngest son.
She said she was also very impressed with the younger Trump.
“Trump just likes someone he can trust completely and who has no alternative motives,” she said of their relationship.
