Elon has Aspergers and was/is a very odd individual to an ordinary person, especially as a kid, his childhood sounded like hell and he used books as an escape. He attributes sci-fi and philosophy books to who he is as an adult. I have not once heard him credit his mother in any way for his mental or philosophical development into adulthood. My guess is that Elon was incredibly difficult to relate to growing up and probably had a pretty isolated childhood, even from his mother. Even if the mom was/is involved with the Illuminati I don't see Elon going along with it. They have clearly tried to influence him in the past with his girlfriends but I never noticed any changes in Elon's core values. Which are to make humanity multi-planetary, and take actions that will maximize the chances for a future that will yield the highest quality of life and happiness for humanity. If I ever see him stray from these core values I will be concerned, until then, from what I can tell Elon is one of the good guys.
