He’s the man who’s sending rockets to Mars, running trillion-dollar companies, and revolutionizing AI — yet reportedly sleeps on a friend’s couch and eats at the office. Sound unbelievable? It’s not fiction. It’s Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth, living like… well, anything but it.
And now, one of his most high-profile exes is speaking out, and what she’s revealing might just make you rethink everything you thought you knew about the tech titan.
A Billionaire… Without a Bed?
Despite being worth well over $250 billion, Musk has made headlines in recent years for his minimalist lifestyle. In multiple interviews, he’s admitted to owning no mansion, sometimes couch-surfing at friends’ places, and reportedly showering at Tesla HQ during intense work weeks.
“Possessions just weigh you down,” Musk once said.
But is it practical genius… or personal chaos?
Grimes Breaks Her Silence
Now, Musk’s ex-partner and mother of two of his children, Grimes (Claire Boucher), has spoken candidly in a recent podcast interview — and what she revealed has fans buzzing.
“People think he’s living this glamorous life, but I’ve seen him eat peanut butter straight from the jar for dinner,” she laughed. “Like, billionaire-tier peanut butter, sure. But still.”
She added, more seriously:
“He’s not driven by luxury. Honestly, Elon’s brain is living in 2050, and his body’s just trying to catch up. Comfort doesn’t even register.”
According to Grimes, Musk’s “poverty” isn’t about lack of money — it’s about his obsession with efficiency, time, and mission.
“He’d rather fund a Mars prototype than buy a bedframe.”
Fans React: ‘This Man Is Literally Tony Stark and Gollum in One’
Social media exploded after clips of the interview surfaced.
“Elon Musk sleeping on a couch while being richer than entire countries is peak chaos energy.”
“He’s playing Sims in real life with zero need bars.”
“No mansion. No yacht. Just vibes and rockets.”
But not all reactions were lighthearted. Some fans expressed concern over Musk’s well-being, citing burnout, extreme work habits, and a detachment from real-life grounding.
So… Why Is He Doing This?
Musk himself has previously explained that material things mean little to him:
“I don’t want to be owned by possessions. I want to be owned by purpose.”
Sources close to Musk say he’s focused almost entirely on AI safety, energy sustainability, and colonizing Mars — and that he considers his lifestyle a personal sacrifice for a planetary goal.
Still, even his inner circle reportedly finds it a bit much.
“We have to beg him to take a day off,” one Tesla exec said anonymously.
Final Thoughts: Humble or Hustling Too Hard?
Whether you see it as eccentric brilliance or billionaire burnout, one thing is certain: Elon Musk is not your average mega-rich mogul. From hand-me-down furniture to $5.7 billion donations, he’s rewriting the rulebook — again.
And if you ever imagined the richest man alive waking up in silk sheets with gold-plated coffee cups… think again. He’s probably waking up on a beanbag, halfway through designing humanity’s next big leap.
