Musk sold all of his seven California homes between June 2020 and November 2021 for $128 million after vowing to "own no house" in 2020, Insider previously reported.

He previously said he moved out of California and closer to a launch site in Texas to focus on two of his companies; Tesla's new manufacturing complex and SpaceX, Insider reported.

This summer Musk told The Full Send podcast he now lives in a "very small" house in Boca Chica, Texas, that only cost $45,000. Although Musk denies having a main residence, he often stays in the three-bedroom house in South Texas and tweeted that smaller houses felt more "homey."

He added that the 900-square-foot house "used to be a two-bedroom" until he converted the garage into a third room – where his mother, Maye Musk, said she slept when visiting her son.

"My friends come and stay and they can't believe I'm staying in this house," Musk said on the podcast in August.

Musk didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by Insider.
