As one of the world’s richest men, Elon Musk can easily afford to drop hundreds of million of dollars on any lavish home he wants. Instead, the multibillionaire is living in a $50,000 tiny home in Boca Chica, Texas, where his SpaceX headquarters are located.
Musk—who has an estimated net worth of $160.4 billion, per Forbes—announced the news of his humble abode in a tweet last month. “My primary home is literally a ~$50k house in Boca Chica / Starbase that I rent from SpaceX. It’s kinda awesome though,” he wrote. Now, a recent report by fan blog Teslarati and the New York Post reveals that said house is actually a foldable, prefabricated home made by Boxabl, a housing startup company.
The “Boxable Casita” that the Tesla CEO reportedly lives in is a transportable 20x20 unit that’s only about 400 square feet. It is set up like a studio apartment and features a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. Though this has yet to be officially confirmed, the company hinted in a promotional video posted in November that one of the Casitas was installed “for a top-secret customer.”
