Elon Musk recently opened up about where he lays his head at night, and it isnt the multi-million-dollar mansion that most would expect the worlds richest man to live in. <\/p>\n
Instead, he makes do with a small three-bedroom property located right near his SpaceX rocket factory.<\/p>\n
The Tesla CEO has certainly had his hands full this year as the billionaire has found himself caught in the middle of a lawsuit following the collapse of his Twitter buyout. <\/p>\n
Wasting no time, he has now jokingly suggested buying another unexpected venture: Manchester United. <\/p>\n
It comes as the team is battling setback after setback. <\/p>\n

If we won the lottery tomorrow, many people would immediately go out and buy their dream home: a mansion, beachside pad, or city-centre penthouse.<\/p>\n
Even though he is the worlds richest man, Elon spends most of his time in a house that cheaper than most luxury treehouses.<\/p>\n
During an interview on the Full Send podcast, the Boring Company CEO said he bought a $45,000 (37,160) house, mainly due to its location in Boca Chica, Texas, which is within walking distance of his SpaceX factory.<\/p>\n
The house that I bought actually costs less than whats in a Boxabl, Elon told the podcast. It cost like $45k or something, but Ive done a lot with the place.<\/p>\n
Boxabls are tiny homes and a building system that can be built to almost any style of house, costing between $5,000 (4,100) and $50,000 (41,200).<\/p>\n

The podcast host asked if the home is small, and Elon replied: Its small. Its very small. Its a tiny its a small, small house.<\/p>\n
He added: \"Its right next to the rocket factory, so I can just literally walk to the rocket factory, its like half a mile away.<\/p>\n
Explaining the layout of the home, he continued: Its technically a three-bedroom, but it used to be a two-bedroom.<\/p>\n
I converted the garage into a third bedroom.<\/p>\n
Yeah, its like, friends of mine come and stay there and they cant believe Im staying in this house.<\/p>\n
Asked if he likes living like that, he said: Yeah, if Im there by myself its fine.<\/p>\n
It's worth noting that this is just one of his homes, as the billionaire has a small property empire.<\/p>\n
He owns four mansions in Bel-Air, a pad in Brentwood, California, and another nearly 100-year-old mansion in San Jose.<\/p>\n

Elon has once again got himself in hot water thanks to an irreverent tweet that was posted earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The Neuralink CEO shared a tweet explaining his political preferences, stating: To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party!<\/p>\n
He replied, with a seemingly unrelated remark, he wrote: Also, Im buying Manchester United ur welcome.<\/p>\n
The tweet received over 500,000 likes in less than 24 hours, with many social media users confused over the randomness of the post.<\/p>\n
The account Tesla Owners Silicon Valley replied: Are you serious?<\/p>\n
The billionaire replied: No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. Im not buying any sports teams.<\/p>\n
