According to Fortune, his main residence is a tiny prefabricated home near SpaceX&#8217;s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Musk explained it himself back in 2021. &#8220;My primary home is literally a ~$50k house in Boca Chica\/Starbase that I rent from SpaceX. It&#8217;s kinda awesome though,&#8221; he wrote on X. The home, built by housing startup Boxabl, measures just 20 feet by 20 feet. <!-- -->According to Chron, a news website in Texas, it has a living area, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a tub-shower combination, making it around 400 square feet.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>His home\u2019s area is in contrast to the space his companies hold<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal reported that companies linked to Musk own at least three houses in Austin&#8217;s upscale West Lake Hills area, each between 6,000 and 9,000 square feet, and are lined with swimming pools.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>People who have seen the tiny home describe a \u2018no-frills\u2019 life. <!-- -->In 2023, Musk&#8217;s biographer Walter Isaacson shared a photo of the interior, calling it a &#8220;Spartan two-bedroom&#8221; home where Musk would &#8220;sit at this wood table and make phone calls.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Elon Musk\u2019s mother describes his home<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s mother, Maye Musk, described his house even more clearly after a visit earlier this year. &#8220;There is no food in the fridge. The garage where I slept is on the right. The shower only has one towel, so I left it for Elon. That was okay with me. When I was a child, I&#8217;d spend three weeks in the Kalahari Desert without showering. Many times. There was no water. I think my parents prepared me for this luxury,&#8221; she wrote on X.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>Over the years, Musk has always prioritised work over comfort.
