On Friday, Maye Musk revisited a lighthearted moment from 2018, sharing a throwback video of sons Elon Musk and Kimbal Musk performing onstage at SXSW while joking that she’s relieved they pursued careers outside of music.
Maye Musk Revives Elon And Kimbal Musk’s SXSW Performance
Maye Musk took to X to share a clip from the brothers’ memorable appearance at the 2018 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas.
“Every time I see this performance, I’m happy my sons chose other careers. However, aren’t you entertained? I am [singing emojis],” she wrote.
The video shows Kimbal taking the stage in a white cowboy hat with a guitar before Elon joins him wearing a black cowboy hat.
The pair perform a playful rendition of “My Little Buttercup,” a comedic song from the 1986 film Three Amigos, laughing and singing alongside another performer.
A Quirky End To Elon’s SXSW Appearance
The musical performance came at the end of Elon’s hourlong SXSW Q&A session, where he discussed his vision for the future.
Before joining his brother, Elon jokingly warned the audience, “This is going to be real bad,” as he put on a cowboy hat and prepared to sing.
The performance embraced Austin’s famously eccentric culture, often summed up by the city’s “Keep Austin Weird” slogan.
While the discussion focused on technology and innovation, the impromptu musical finale offered attendees a rare glimpse of the Musk brothers’ playful side.
Elon is a South African-born billionaire entrepreneur known for leading several major technology companies, including electric vehicle maker Tesla, aerospace company SpaceX and social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
He currently has a net worth of $917.3 billion, according to Forbes. Elon became the world’s first trillionaire on June 12 following SpaceX’s public debut.
Meanwhile, Kimbal is an entrepreneur and restaurateur best known for co-founding The Kitchen Restaurant Group and the nonprofit Big Green and for serving as CEO of drone entertainment company Nova Sky Stories.
