Elon Musk’s mother is shedding new light on the almost trillionaire’s simple living habits, which include a bare fridge and just one towel
Maye Musk’s disclosure about her son’s lifestyle comes as Forbes released its latest World Billionaires List.
The list reveals that the SpaceX founder, 54, has amassed a colossal fortune, which currently stands at $839bn, as much as the 63 “poorest” billionaires on the list combined.
His mother was responding to a tweet that apparently showed her son’s living quarters in Boca Chica, the South Texas community that is home to SpaceX’s Starbase launch site.
“There is no food in the fridge. The garage where I slept is on the right,” she wrote on X. “The shower only has one towel so I left it for Elon. That was okay with me.”

She added that growing up in the Kalahari Desert, she would go for weeks without showering. In a previous interview, Musk said that his home was valued at around $45,000.
The original tweet that Maye Musk was responding to showed a kitchen and living room with a few items. “Elon Musk’s house in Boca Chica, Texas. No fancy things, only what’s essential for living,” the post read.
