Overview
- Maye Musk wrote on X that her son’s Boca Chica living space had no food in the fridge and only one towel in the shower, and said she slept in his garage during a visit.
- The details followed a photo posted by Dima Zeniuk on X that showed a sparse, open‑plan kitchen and living area near SpaceX’s Starbase site.
- Elon Musk has said his primary residence is a roughly $50,000 house in Boca Chica that he rents from SpaceX, and New York Times reporting has identified it as a Boxabl Casita.
- The renewed attention tracks back to Musk’s 2020 pledge to sell most possessions and “own no house,” after listing seven California properties.
- Social‑media reaction ranged from praise for minimalism to criticism over his mother sleeping in the garage, and representatives did not comment to Business Insider.
