Elon Muskthe richest man in the world, according to Bloomberg with an estimated fortune of USD 251 billion, says he does not even have a House where to sleep and that is why he lives from house to house of his friends.

This is how the South African mentioned in the middle of an interview with the chief organizer of the educational TED talksChris Anderson. In addition, the tycoon declared that he is not a hotel user either.

“If I travel to the Bay Area, where most of the engineering operations of Tesla, basically broken between the extra rooms of my friends”, he explained while they were recording in the mega factory of Tesla in Berlin.

Towards the end of the interview, Anderson touched on the rejection that many people have for billionairesdue to the inequity in the distribution of the means. Faced with the criticism raised by the interviewer, Musk pointed out that he does not consume excessively.

“It would be problematic if I was consuming billions of dollars a year in personal consumption,” reflected the wealthy man. In addition, he expressed that his greatest expense is in the use of his personal jet.

“I actually don’t even have a house right now,” Musk replied in the interview.

In fact, this has been confirmed by his ex-partner, the Grimes singerwho said that Elon Musk sometimes lived in conditions below the poverty line.

An example of this would be the occasion when the controlling shareholder Tesla refused to buy a new mattress, even though the one they were using with Grimes had ripped apart on the sides, according to the musician and singer.

“I don’t have a yacht, I don’t drink holidays. The only exception is my plane, but if I didn’t use it, I would have fewer hours a day to work,” Musk said in the interview.

Towards the end of 2021, the south african tycoon sold his last home ownership.

The billionaire has been the subject of controversy due to his offer to buy all the shares of the social network Twitter for USD 43 billion, which to date the platform has refused to accept.

This offer was presented after the billionaire bought 9.2% of the Actions.
