Elon Musk says he lives in a $45,000 ‘tiny house’ in Texas

Elon Musk has revealed that, despite being one of the most millionaire men on the planet, he has decided to move into a small three-bedroom house valued at US$45,000 that he recently acquired and is located in small mouthsouth of Texas, United States.

The tycoon who is in charge of companies like Tesla Motors, SpaceX Y neurolink mentioned this curious detail in the episode that the podcast The Full Send revealed this Friday, August 5. According to the businessman, despite the fact that he does not have a “main residence”, for now he is staying to live in this house of about 800 to 900 square feet (approximately 74 to 83 square meters).

Musk mentioned Kyle Forgeardhost of the podcast he was invited to, that his South Texas home “it was technically a three-bedroom, but it used to be a two-bedroom until he decided to convert his garage into another space”. The billionaire said “Her friends come and stay and they can’t believe she means this house” when he talks about his residence.

An unexpected home for Elon Musk

As detailed Musk in more detail during the show, one of his motivations for buying and staying in this simple house for the time being is that it is located just a mile from the rocket factory in SpaceX in the south of Texaswhich can be reached practically on foot from there.

Despite popular belief, the fact that Elon Musk living in simple and small residences that do not value much money is not uncommon since -in the past- it was reported that the tycoon would have been living in a prefabricated house of the company boxablbased in Las Vegaswhich was also in the town of small mouth.

Normal houses for an extravagant character like Elon Musk

In June 2021, Musk revealed to the press that he was renting one of his company’s properties SpaceX valued at about US$50 thousand. This residence was 375 square feet (approximately 34.83 square meters) that also had the power to move from one place to another.

According to what he mentioned in the podcast, Musk would now be using this small house as a guest house for his friends and that its price “would actually be less than that of a boxabl”.

In addition to this, it is known that the tycoon has been getting rid of several millionaire properties that he has accumulated over the years, as Insider reported last November. A decision that would be based on the promise he made Elon Musk to sell most of its luxurious and expensive residences in 2020.
