Elon Musk's primary residence is a modest house in Texas

The world got a rare glimpse of Elon Musk’s abode when his biographer shared a picture of his $50,000 house in Texas. Walter Isaacson, who has been shadowing the Tesla billionaire for close to three years, on Sunday tweeted a picture of the house that Musk resides in.

It was widely reported that Musk sold all his five residential properties in 2020 to move to a modest two-bedroom house in Boca Chica, Texas. Musk had earlier tweeted that he rents the property from SpaceX. “My primary home is literally a $50k house in Boca Chica/Starbase that I rent from SpaceX … it's kinda awesome though,” he had written.

His biographer confirmed the fact on August 6 this year. “In 2020, Musk decided to sell his five grand houses and to have as his primary residence this spartan two-bedroom house in Boca Chica, TX, where we would meet and he would sit at this wood table and make phone calls,” Walter Isaacson wrote while sharing a picture of the house on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

His photo shows a part of Musk’s kitchen and what appears to be a living area. A few board games and a sword are kept on a coffee table in the room, while a rocket-shaped object is the centre of attention. A Tesla "Plaid Mode" jacket hangs on the back of a chair. Musk has been photographed wearing this jacket in the past.

The rocket motif seems to be a favourite of Musk’s – in 2022, the Daily Mail had revealed that his Boca Chica house came with a rocket-shaped playhouse for his children.
