Musk was born in 1948 in Regina, Saskatchewan, a twin and one of five children. Her family moved to Pretoria, South Africa, in 1950. Her parents, Winnifred Josephine "Wyn" (Fletcher) and Joshua Norman Haldeman, were adventurous and flew the family around the world in a prop plane in 1952. For over 10 years the family would spend time roaming the Kalahari desert in search of its fabled Lost City. Their parents gave slide shows and talks about their journeys, "My parents were very famous, but they were never snobs," Musk said.
