Apparently, Elon Musk has told his mom that people are being mean to him online.

Elon's mother, Maye Musk, called on people to stop criticizing her "genius" son. 

Maye, in an interview for the new documentary "The Elon Musk show" from the BBC, said that her son is super dedicated to the cause of saving the planet, but still faces so many challenges.

"I am happy to say that "SpaceX" and "Tesla" are in the hands of my brilliant son, my genius son. We all admire him for that, but we don't want to be in his shoes. Because because of these companies, he gets a lot of hate. Enough of being mean to him!".

However, Elon has admitted that despite the criticism he receives, he still remains his own biggest critic. "The way I torture myself is on another level," Elon claimed, but still, Mom remains Mom, so she still defends her "genius".
