Elon Musk is currently one of the richest people in the world, with Forbes estimating his current wealth at around USD 167 billion. But at the moment, he lives in a modest house. Why is that?
Not long ago, Musk admitted that he wanted to sell his luxury residence. Earlier this year, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX sold at once three luxury residences located in the elite Bel Air area of California. He had reached a sale agreement with the buyer by Christmas yesterday.
Musk tweeted in May that he would sell most of his property and would not own a home. The reason? Because he wants to find freedom.
"I am selling almost all physical property. Will not own a home," Elon Musk tweeted at the time. At the time, he also revealed plans to move from California to Texas, a state that does not impose a personal income tax.
After all, in Texas, a new Tesla factory is being built. In addition, there is also a SpaceX facility there.
Recently on his personal Twitter, the man who just turned 50 years old said that he is currently living in a rented house in Boca Chica, Texas, near the SpaceX test facility.
This very small house, like a hammock, made by a startup called Boxabl is a cheap and modular living solution. The size is about 6 x 6 meters.
"The house where Musk reportedly lives is like a studio apartment, with one large living room separated into a living room and bedroom, a full kitchen and a bathroom with a shower," wrote the Houston Chronicle.
In November, Boxabl reported that his company built houses for important and secret figures. Now it is known that the figure is almost certainly Elon Musk. The price of the house itself is only USD 50 thousand.
Of course Elon Musk lives there alone, while his family is probably still in California. Despite having sold several houses, of course he still has several more.
