In a shocking revelation, an ex-girlfriend of Elon Musk has shared details about the Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s surprisingly frugal lifestyle, despite being one of the richest men in the world.
A Billionaire Who Avoids Luxury?
According to Musk’s former partner, the tech mogul lives “below the poverty line” when it comes to his personal spending habits. She recalled moments when Musk avoided unnecessary expenses and even regretted buying a broken mattress because he found it uncomfortable.
“He could afford any luxury in the world, yet he chooses to live like someone struggling financially,” she stated.
This frugality isn’t entirely new—Musk has previously admitted that he doesn’t own a house and often stays at friends’ places when traveling. He has also spoken about cutting back on personal expenses to focus on his business ventures and space exploration goals.
Prioritizing Work Over Comfort
Musk’s commitment to his companies appears to overshadow any desire for personal luxury. He has famously stated that he poured all his wealth into Tesla, SpaceX, and other projects, often sleeping in the Tesla factory or SpaceX offices instead of enjoying the lavish lifestyle one might expect from a billionaire.
While some admire his dedication and simplicity, others find it unusual that the world’s richest person chooses to live this way. His ex-girlfriend’s comments have reignited discussions about Musk’s priorities, financial philosophy, and unique approach to wealth.
Public Reactions
Social media has exploded with reactions to the news. Some fans praise Musk for rejecting material excess, while critics question whether his extreme frugality is necessary.
Regardless of differing opinions, one thing is certain: Elon Musk remains an unconventional billionaire, dedicated more to innovation than indulgence.
