WASHINGTON, DC – Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, recently praised Usha Vance: She is even more lovely, smart and charming. This was in response to a social media post highlighting the lack of recognition for Usha Vance, the first Indian American and Hindu to serve as the Second Lady of the United States. Usha Vance, married to Vice President JD Vance, has faced racist online attacks, particularly from the MAGA circle, due to her Hindu faith, despite being married to a Christian. This is not the first time her background has been scrutinized.
When JD Vance was selected as Donald Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, Usha’s faith became a point of criticism. In defense, JD Vance remarked, “What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly.”Usha and JD Vance have three children: Vivek, Ewan, and Mirabel.
