After the tour, Musk thanked Lyazzat Sagyndykova, manager of the Almaty Museum Association, wishing her all the best.

The famous inventor’s mother came to Kazakhstan not only to admire the local culture and history but also to participate in the BeWoman Central Asian Forum on Oct. 17.

Prior to the event, a scandal broke out when a forum organizer offered Almaty stylists to work with speakers, including Maye Musk and Russian prominent female entrepreneur Tatyana Bakalchuk (Kim), without remuneration.
