The billionaire’s primary residence is a compact, $50,000 home in Boca Chica, Texas, home to SpaceX’s headquarters. A recent report from the Teslarati blog and the New York Post reveals that it is actually a 35-square-meter foldable prefabricated house designed by Boxabl, a housing startup. According to Chron.com, the small casita Elon Musk’s alleged home is set up like a studio, with a large room divided into a living room and bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a tub and shower. While it has not yet been officially confirmed, the company has hinted in a promotional video that one of its homes has been installed “for a very secret client”.
Elon Musk biographer Walter Isaacson shared a post on social media, giving a rare glimpse inside the home. It looks minimalist, clean, and simple, to say the least, especially when compared to the billionaire’s previous properties. The caption reads: “In 2020, Musk decided to sell his five big houses and have as his primary residence this spartan two-bedroom house in Boca Chica, TX, where we would meet and he would sit at this wooden table and make phone calls.” With plans to spend more time in space than on Earth, it’s no surprise that the Tesla boss has downsized and gotten rid of most of his personal belongings.
