Think being related to Elon Musk comes with perks? When it comes to buying a Tesla, the answer is a firm no.
Over the years, Musk has made one rule unmistakably clear: there are no family discounts at Tesla. Not for celebrities. Not for billionaires. Not even for his own mother.
At 76, Maye Musk has openly confirmed that when she bought her Tesla, her son paid full price—just like any other customer. No special code. No private deal. No executive shortcut. In fact, back in 2017, Maye reportedly waited in line for the Model 3 with an order number around 300,000, standing shoulder to shoulder with everyday buyers across the country.
The principle has become something of a legend inside Silicon Valley.
In 2024, rapper Snoop Dogg jokingly asked Musk if he could get a free Tesla. Musk’s reply was blunt and perfectly on-brand:
“Everyone pays full price for a Tesla, including me.”
Even extended family members haven’t escaped the policy. When a cousin once asked for a “family discount,” Musk didn’t hesitate. He reportedly pointed them straight to Tesla’s website and said:
“The price you see is the family discount.”
For Musk, the reasoning is simple. A product should earn its value on merit—not on status, fame, or personal relationships. If Tesla vehicles truly represent innovation, performance, and the future of clean energy, then they shouldn’t need favors to sell.
It’s a philosophy that runs counter to celebrity culture, where influence often unlocks free cars, private perks, and exclusive treatment. Musk has repeatedly rejected that model, insisting that fairness and transparency matter more than optics.
In an era obsessed with access and privilege, Elon Musk’s stance sends an unexpected message: at Tesla, everyone stands in the same line.
