Musk offloaded seven properties during his real estate exodus, including this Bel Air mansion (pictured). At the time, he said he was renting a $50,000 (£39.2k) tiny house in Boca Chica, Texas, near SpaceX's launch site.

However, according to court filings reviewed by Business Insider in May 2024 regarding his custody dispute with ex-girlfriend Grimes, Musk may not have disavowed property ownership altogether. During the hearing, which occurred in December 2023, Musk said: "In February 2022 I bought the home on [redacted] where [redacted] and I still live". The publication removed details of the home's exact location but did reveal that the "relatively modest" property is in Austin, Texas. Musk said he bought the house after his rental address was leaked and his safety was compromised. The residence is thought to be Musk's current primary home.
