  • Maye is an accomplished model, appearing on Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition cover at 74 and recently attending New York Fashion Week – now leaked photos and videos of her Oppo ads have surfaced
  • Oppo’s flagship product was launched in March and is already recognised as the best camera smartphone in the world with top-end specifications, beating Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and Google Pixel 7 Pro

Chinese electronics giant Oppo has signed Maye Musk, the mother of Elon Musk, as the global ambassador for the brand’s flagship smartphone – Find X6 Pro.

The 75-year-old model and dietitian will appear in a series of commercials and events to promote the Find X6 Pro, which is being touted as the best camera smartphone in the world. Photos from the first official shoot recently surfaced on the internet along with a video ad that was leaked on YouTube.

In the commercial, Maye can be seen holding a toy plane, talking about her adventure-filled childhood and how her three children, including Elon, have inherited her perseverance to constantly grow. She even quips about how she hopes “it takes them to space and beyond”.

It should be noted that Oppo hasn’t officially released the commercial or pictures from the photo shoot.

Oppo’s move to sign Maye as a brand ambassador for the Find X6 Pro smartphone has come as a surprise to many, but the brand might want to utilise the popular Musk name as an effective promotional tool.

However, it would be unfair to conclude that was the only reason behind Oppo choosing Maye. After all, she has had an illustrious modelling career spanning over 50 years. Even beyond her relation to the world’s current richest person, Maye has all the qualities to be the face of a flagship product.

In fact, she looks great holding the Find X6 Pro in brown in the photo shoot and video ad, where she can be seen wearing an elegant matching maroon dress.
