Musk's humble home exposed: just one block from the SpaceX starship base

IT House May 7 news, the Daily Mail for the first time exposed Musk's $50,000 home in Texas. The backyard features rocket-like swings, a roof covered with Tesla solar panels, a starlink network receiver, and a residence just one block from the SpaceX starship base.

It House learned that the world's richest man had vowed to sell all his mansions and then moved into a hotel and makeshift cottage next to the factory, and his ex-girlfriend Grimes complained about it. Musk decided two years ago to shrink the real estate he owns, selling seven California mansions for about $127 million.

He also denied the claim that he had secretly lived in a friend's $12 million mansion in Austin, insisting: "Actually, my main 'home' at the moment is actually a small $50,000 house I rented from SpaceX in Boca Chica/Starbase... ”

The Daily Mail last week found a dusty coastal base outside Brownsville, Texas, and tried to figure out if the $219 billion contemporary tycoon actually lived there.

Neighbors told the Daily Mail that Musk did live in Boca Chica, just two miles from the Mexican border, at least at some times. Just a block away from his Starbase production facility, it's the size of a ranch-style family of three.

The shadowy side of his SpaceX starship launch base is Musk's humble "home." It's worth mentioning that Musk has a son with his ex-girlfriend Grimes, so he built several children's rides here, such as a swing in the backyard, although this little thing looks a bit like a rocket.

Records confirm that SpaceX snapped up the single-storey waterfront property in October 2019, along with adjacent vacant lots and detached garages.

Jim Crawford, a 76-year-old neighbor, told reporters, "You know, Elon Musk did come because you could see SpaceX people picking up trash and tidying up the facilities in this place." ”

"He was never alone, he always had his bodyguards with him. He usually arrives late at night, he goes straight in, rarely comes out" He waved, but he never invited us over or said hello. You don't knock on his door, because the bodyguard will be out right away. ”

His bodyguards live next door, and the house in what appears to be in the 1970s is guarded by more than a dozen cameras, several of which stand high above the street on top of palm trees.

The three-time divorced man recently had his seventh and eighth children with his intermittent partner Grimes, and he also built a custom theater and swing in the backyard that resembles a SpaceX rocket.

The 1970s property was guarded by more than a dozen cameras, just a few of which were placed on towering palm trees.

Locals refer to the 1580-square-foot courtyard as the "compound." "They also have a terrace and chairs. I once saw him with two ladies and a little boy, and I think that's his youngest son," said Jim, one of the "die-hards" who have so far refused to sell properties to SpaceX.

"I don't like rockets, and I'm a little too old to think about going to Mars," he adds, adding, "I'm more concerned about what SpaceX is doing on Earth" "We've only been waiting for very few migratory birds this year, probably because of the noise and lights that come out of construction."

Unlike his previous owners, Musk doesn't have to worry about networking even if he lives in such suburbs, because his house is equipped with a Starlink antenna and can accept Starlink Internet at any time.

But the trouble was that he would have to drive 20 miles to the nearest supermarket to buy something and get drinking water once a week to Cameron County, so SpaceX had plans to build a desalination plant.

SpaceX is rumored to have spent about $200,000 on the property — more than three times what county tax assessors estimated last year ($62,334).

"We are very happy with the offer we received. Richard, 75, told the Daily Mail.

"I've seen the fence he put up and I think you can understand why privacy is so important to this person. I sincerely hope that the people who live there now enjoy it as much as we do.

Musk announced in May 2020 that he was scaling back his living expenses, tweeting: "I have now sold almost all of my tangible property and have since bid farewell to the property."

Between June and November 2021, he sold seven mansions in California for about $127 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Musk further claimed in a recent TED interview that he would surf the couch with friends, depending on which city he needed.
