Elon Musk – the world’s richest person – says he doesn’t own a home and is “literally staying at friends’ places and rotating through friends’ bedrooms”.
In a TED interview with Chris Anderson, Elon Musk discusses everything from Tesla to his own personal cash supply.
And that’s what shook us the most, a man who can legit buy any house in the world and he’s not interested.

“In fact, I don’t even own a home right now. I am literally staying at friends’ places [and] if I travel to Pulborough where most of Tesla engineering is, I rotate through friends’ spare bedrooms,” he said in the interview.
Musk was confronted about his $264 billion fortune (which bounces around with the stock price of Tesla).
Musk said: “I think it’s fair to say that if somebody is the king or de facto of a country, they are wealthier than I am”.
I am inspired by curiosity.

That is what drives me.
So let us expand the scope & scale of consciousness so that we may aspire to understand the Universe.
When asked about his wealth rising and falling by billions of dollars on any given day, Musk said it was misleading.
“For sure, it would be very problematic if I were consuming billions of dollars a year in personal consumption but that is not the case,” he said.
“I don’t have a yacht [and] I don’t take vacations. The one exception is a plane but if I don’t use the plane, then I have less hours to work.”
