"Often Facing Unfair Treatment" Interview with the Sister of the 'World's Richest' Older Brother

Musk's Youngest of Three Siblings, Tosca, Interview Released
"Older Brother Approached Me to Get Closer"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's younger sister, Tosca Musk (48), revealed that she sometimes faces unexpected difficulties because of her "rich older brother."

Recently, the British Daily Mail published an interview with Tosca, the youngest of the three Musk siblings. Elon is the eldest, their younger brother Kimbal is the founder of a large restaurant chain, and Tosca is currently working as a film producer.

Tosca lamented that she experienced difficulties due to her older brother Elon while securing locations for her recent film production. Tosca said, "The initially agreed location fee was $5,000 per day (about 6.41 million KRW), but when they (the owners) heard my name, they assumed we were rich and charged $25,000 (about 32 million KRW)." She added, "It's really unfair."

Tosca, who is also the founder of the film company Passionflix, said, "Everyone assumes my big brother pays for all the expenses, but that's not true."

Elon continues to hold the title of the "world's richest person." Initially, Elon had been competing back and forth with Bernard Arnault, chairman of the French luxury group LVMH, for the top spot, but recently, with Tesla's stock price rising, Elon reclaimed the number one position. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk's current net worth is $233 billion (about 301 trillion KRW).

When asked whether she receives business advice or financial support from Elon, Tosca replied, "The answer to this question is a double-edged sword for me." She explained, "If I say 'no,' people will think my brother doesn't support me at all, and if I say 'yes,' they will assume he pays for everything."

Tosca also mentioned that many people approach her to get closer to Elon. She said, "That has always happened, but now I am experienced enough to distinguish those people well."

Meanwhile, Tesla is heading toward the so-called "300 Sla" (Tesla stock price of $300). With the establishment of Tesla's production base in India becoming more visible and General Motors (GM) following Ford in deciding to use Tesla's charging stations, the stock price rose. On the 20th, Tesla's stock surged 5.34% from the previous trading day to close at $274.45 on the New York Stock Exchange.
