Elon Musk said he wants to sell all of his homes. 5 just hit the market for $95.5 million.
Last week, Elon Musk said he wants to sells all of his homes. It looks like he might actually follow through.
After tweeting about it in early May, Musk apparently listed two of his properties in Los Angeles, worth $39.5 million in total, on real estate site Zillow.
Now, Bloomberg reports that a group of four Los Angeles properties, as well as a mansion in Hillsborough, have been put on sale on Zillow for a combined price of $95.5 million.
I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 1, 2020
“A project for the big thinker, designed to showcase one of the best views in Los Angeles – from the city to the ocean and beyond. Due to listing limitations, additional specs on each individual home, as well as insight on the project as a whole, will be made available upon request by qualified buyers,” says the description of a $62.5 million property.
Just like the original listings, it’s hard to say with absolute certainty that the listings are real, but Zillow has a vetting process to determine a seller is genuine. Furthermore, Musk spoke about selling his properties on Joe Rogan’s podcast after the original ads surfaced, and though he did not explicitly confirm the ads were put up by him, he confirmed that he intends to sell all of his houses.
“I think possessions kinda weigh you down (…) Does it really make sense for me to spend time designing and building a house? Or should I be allocating that time to getting us to Mars? I should probably do the latter,” he said on the show.
Musk also cited privacy issues as a reason for the sale.
Together with the old listings, the new ones pretty much round up all of the real estate Musk is known to own. As for where he’s going to live after all of his houses are sold, Musk told Rogan he can always simply rent a home.
