Until then, Musk lived lavishly in several properties in California and Texas.

He succeeded in selling most of his known portfolio, but has purchased a few more homes since.

In 2020, Elon Musk wrote on X that he was selling "almost all physical possessions" and would no longer own a house .

The South African-born billionaire and SpaceX CEO had amassed a sizable California real estate portfolio, at one point owning multiple homes in the same neighborhood.

His properties included multimillion-dollar mansions with amenities such as pools and tennis courts.

Musk said the sales were not solely about money.

He wrote on X that he was dedicating himself to Mars and Earth, adding that "Possessions just weigh you down." Sticking to his word, Musk has had a flurry of property sales , and, at one point, claimed to be couch-surfing .

Today, despite Musk's estimated net worth of $932.2 billion as of September 2026, Musk's living arrangements remain somewhat modest, relatively speaking.

After moving to Texas in 2020, Musk at one point lived in a tiny home near SpaceX's launch site in Boca Chica and has since purchased several other properties in the Austin area.

As his businesses expand, he is also putting down roots elsewhere in the South.

In Tennessee, where his artificial intelligence startup xAI is building a data center, the billionaire is reportedly living in an Airstream trailer.
