Neighbors confirmed to DailyMail.com Elon Musk does indeed reside in Boca Chica, Texas – at least some of the time – in a three-bed, ranch-style home (pictured) a block away from his space firm's Starbase production facility
“No, we TOTALLY didn’t doxx Musk because we’re part of the Lefty haters...” - journo creep
That house would sell for at least $250,000 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth market. I know; my daughter is a real estate agent in that area.
I’ve heard he actually lives on the compound in a $50,000 trailer. He might live in that home in his time off, but I understand that he actually lives at whichever business he is focused on at the time.
Looks like House -0.5 has Tesla solar roof shingles...but I don’t see the Powerwall...probly out back
Not original equipment on that place...
“...and two miles from Mexican border...”
That’s awfully dumb.
Not the first time I’ve heard about Musk’s modest living standards.
There was a (apocryphal) story from an ex-girlfriend complaining about the condition of his mattress. He told her to bring the mattress from her place if she wanted to change it. True? Who knows…
Where I live; that’s a $650,000 house.
I have come to have a fair amount of respect for Elon Musk at a number of important points:
I think he’s serious about his devotion to investing in endeavors he perceives may aid in averting eventual human crises; he’s not out hawing snake oil to make a buck, but genuinely bent on creating marketable components of larger solutions to problems that — if they arise — would be critical.
I respect that he uses all his own products; quality issues at Tesla notwithstanding, he’s obviously not out there just cranking out cheap crap and fobbing it off on unwary chumps.
I respect that he’s not out to be The Only Player in his several arenas of business, but to compete in a broader, and broadening market commensurate with his acknowledgement that his efforts would not, alone, be sufficient to meet the need if the crisis point were reached.
I respect that he’s not behaving like the Hollywood set thinking everyone wants to know what he thinks because of his billions, but has been just kind of a real guy in all this; I mean, he gave two hours to The Babylon Bee, for Heaven’s sake. If there’s a sociopolitical point further removed from the din of Hollywood narcissism I’m not aware of it.
I respect that Elon seems not so wedded to his own opinions as to be above changing them given ample data and a compelling explanation why he should consider doing so.
Finally, anybody worth the money he’s worth yet not so full of himself as to be above such a humble dwelling as he’s got there — I respect that a great deal; I think it says TONS about the man.
I suspect that house is just a place to crash for a few hours sleep then he's off to work again before the sun comes up.
There was an elderly lady who worked in the accounting depart at the plant I worked for.
She only needed about three hours sleep then she was up around 3:00 a.m. and doing seamstress stuff for other employees.
So...I can say I own a house in the same price range as the world’s richest person? Cool.
Not exactly Del Boca Vista.
