Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk sold almost all his houses and bought a tiny house in Texas to focus on building rockets, electric cars and his other ventures. Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson has now shared a rare image of the said house that is located in Boca Chica, Texas. He describes this house as 'spartan two-bedroom house' in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. Notably, SpaceX’s development and testing site is located in Texas.
The image shows a kitchen and a portion of living room that has a wooden table. Isaacson revealed that he used to meet Musk in this house, where the billionaire used to sit on the wooden table and make phone calls. The house looks neat and uncluttered, with just a jacket hanging on a chair. It also shows a rocket sculpture kept on the table along with what looks like a white Japanese sword or Katana.
Why did Musk decide to buy such a tiny house as his primary residence? This will be revealed in Elon Musk’s biography written by Isaacson. This book is now available for pre-order on Amazon and will go on sale on September 12.
People from all across the world reacted to this image on X. Many were shocked to see that a tech billionaire is living in such a tiny and simple house, while others appreciated his thinking. One user commented, “Jeez, how can you have so little stuff?”, while one wrote, “so simple yet so profound”.

Another post by Isaacson revealed how Musk met with his ex-partner Grimes, back in 2018. In addition to this, the book reveals that Musk was regularly bullied and beaten in South Africa, back when he was a kid. Musk’s sour relationship with his father played a major role in what he has become today. In a post, Isaacson wrote that the book will reveal how Musk’s father instilled his drive but also his demons at an early age. Isaacson spoke to Musk and his brother Kimbal who revealed “vivid and psychologically brutal tales” of their past.
This book will also talk about how Elon Musk looks at artificial intelligence. In a post, he stated, “Elon Musk believed that the path to AI safety is to tie machines to human minds.”
The book also circles around the billionaire’s achievements of launching 31 rockets into orbit with SpaceX, Tesla selling a million cars, and becoming the richest man on earth.
The Elon Musk biography is priced at $28 (approx Rs 2,300) on the Amazon website. The listing describes Musk as the “most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era”.
