Boxabl builds affordable, foldable, tiny homes. Elon Musk is living in one.
Congrats on joining the best damn newsletter in the world
There are probably very few people on Earth who would willingly live in a 375-square-foot prefab home if they had a net worth of ~$185B (and only paid a 3.27% true tax rate).
Elon Musk is one of them.
The tech titan has reportedly been residing in a cozy foldable home on the SpaceX premises in Boca Chica, Texas.
The home is built by Boxabl and goes for $49.5k
Though the home’s resident was not officially confirmed as Musk, Las Vegas-based Boxabl said it installed one of its Casita homes for a “top secret customer” last November.
Then, in June, Musk tweeted that his primary home is a “kinda awesome” ~$50k house that he rents from SpaceX in Boca Chica.
The company is gaining steam
Boxabl has a 47k-person waitlist for its tiny home that takes just hours to set up and is light enough to be towed by a Tesla.
In June, Boxabl moved into a new 170k-square-foot factory that’ll eventually have the production capacity to output 3.6k Casitas a year (it’s only built 3 so far).
Aside from consumer housing, Boxabl envisions its Casitas being used as mobile hospitals, shelters, and schools.
