Musk's residence was exposed for the first time, it is said to be very simple, what does it look like? Let's find out!
Recently, the Daily Mail exposed Musk's humble housing for the first time.
It's a $50,000 home in Texas, equivalent to 330,000 yuan, less than a suite in our small county.
It is not difficult to see from the map that Texas is located in the southwestern tip of the United States, adjacent to the Mexican border.
This is where Musk lives: coastal bases, dusty, deserted suburbs...
It's also Musk's home: $219 billion, tesla, Twitter, SpaceX, SolarCity, and 8 kids...
Let's take a look at all the details of Musk's residence:
NO.1 is particularly close to SpaceX
This is the SpaceX rocket launch base.
Generally speaking, rocket launches pay attention to special geographical and astronomical conditions, and will consider choosing more remote places.
However, Musk's home is only one block from the launch site, which can be imagined that his home is in the "desert area".
NO.2 Ranch style
In fact, this little bungalow is in the open land along the coast.
From the photo, the house is only one storey, relatively low, so some people figuratively call it "ranch style".
The house was allegedly built in the 1970s as an old-fashioned house.
Musk snapped up the property in October 2019, including a single-storey sea view room, courtyard vacant lots, and a separate garage.
Relative to the wealth status of the world's richest man, such a residence can be summed up by the word "low-key".
NO.3 Tesla battery panel roof
Musk has said he wants to sell his real estate portfolio and most of his property.
Just last year, he sold seven California mansions for $127 million.
At present, it seems that the scale of real estate has obviously shrunk, becoming extremely simple and even simple.
The location is off, the area is small, but it is not denied that its technical content.
You see, the owner of many tech companies uses his technology in every detail.
This is equipped with a high-tech solar roof made by Tesla, which is all covered with these "tiles".
NO.4 is equipped with a StarLink network receiver
Unlike other homeowners, Musk lives here without worrying about network issues.
In addition to the materials and equipment that the roof was invented spontaneously, so was the network.
Musk's house is equipped with a Starlink antenna that can receive Starlink Internet at any time.
NO.5 Numerous cameras
On the roof, there were more than a dozen cameras guarding, and several cameras were even placed on the palm tree next to it.
NO.6 The compound is heightened
The residence is equipped with a 1580 sq ft (147 m2) yard, but only the wall can be seen when enclosed by an 8-foot (2.43 m) high enclosure.
It is said that there are terraces and chairs inside.
Because Musk has a lot of bodyguards, and a lot of kids, he needs a little space for activities.
NO.7 Rocket Swing
Musk has 7 or 8 children? It's a bit hard to count.
However, there are more children, and there must always be a little entertainment.
As a result, Musk's yard naturally has to have a swing.
This swing is different from other swings, with typical Musk characteristics, is a unique rocket-shaped swing.
If you don't look closely, you think that SpaceX's rockets have moved home.
NO.8 Security forces are strong
Neighbors told reporters, "He was never alone, he always had his bodyguards with him."
"He usually arrives late at night, he goes straight in and rarely comes out," the neighbor said.
"He waved, but he never invited us over or said hello," the neighbor said.
However, the neighbor reminded, "Don't knock on his door, because the bodyguard will go out soon."
NO.9 Plans to build a freshwater plant
Living in a coastal base, it is more troublesome to want to buy something but it is a long way to go.
Fortunately, SpaceX has plans to build a desalination plant.
This seems to solve the problem of citing water, after all, it is only a block from Musk's residence.
You see, this academician Ma is using scientific means to solve environmental problems everywhere.
NO.10 It is said to affect the environment
However, some local people complained that before SpaceX came here, the small village "used to be a very calm place".
That is to say, the arrival of Musk and SpaceX has attracted some opinions from local residents.
"I don't like rockets, and I'm a little too old to think about going to Mars," said Jim, a 76-year-old resident.
He added, "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 SpaceX makes during construction." Jim thinks.
