Elon Musk — the richest man on this planet who has a net worth of $229.8 billion (approximately Rs 19,02,973 crore), according to Forbes — lives in a small two-bedroom house. Yes, you heard it right. Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson in the latest post on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared a photo from the billionaire’s modest ‘spartan two-bedroom house’.

Currently serving as the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, the popular business magnate has been busy gearing up with his much-hyped cage fight with billionaire and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who recently launched the Threads app which serves as a direct competition of the former’s X. However, it’s Isaacson’s post from Musk’s Texas home that has shaken the entire internet.

Confirming the reports of Musk living in a modest two-bedroom house in Boca Chica, Texas, writer Isaacson revealed that Musk sold five spacious and luxurious houses in 2020 before moving into the prefab house. “In 2020, Musk decided to sell his five grand houses and to have as his primary residence this spartan two-bedroom house in Boca Chica, TX, where we would meet and he would sit at this wood table and make phone calls,” he wrote.

According to Hello Magazine, Musk spent around $50k (approximately Rs 41 lakhs) to purchase the 375-square-foot prefab home created by the Las Vegas company, Boxabl. According to Boxabl’s official website, the Casita home owned by Musk comes with a walk-in closet, full-size shower area, powder room, fireplace, family-size kitchen with modern appliances, a bedroom, and a living room. The website also claims the prefab house to be fire, wind, water and mold resistant.

Isaacson’s post provided a peek into Musk’s tidy abode, which features interesting items such as a rocket figurine and a Japanese sword (Katana) on display. Additionally, Musk had previously shared a photo of his nightstand in 2022, which showcased cans of caffeine-free Diet Coke and two non-functional replica guns.

Sharing details about his house on the Full Send podcast, Musk revealed that he turned his minimalistic two-bedroom into a three-bedroom after purchasing it from Boxabl. “I’ve done a lot. It’s technically a three-bedroom, it used to be a two-bedroom, but I converted the garage into a third bedroom,” he said. He even admitted how surprised his friends are by his decision to live in a prefab house on the podcast. “They come and stay and they can’t believe I’m staying in this house,” he added.
