Why Elon Musk makes his mother sleep in garage when she visits him

Maye Musk, mother of billionaire Elon Musk, sleeps in the garage when she visits her son. Here’s why.
Maye Musk, mother of billionaire Elon Musk, has revealed that she forgoes the comfort of a proper bedroom and sleeps in the garage when she visits her son.
In an interview with The Times, 71-year-old Maye Musk said that despite being the richest man in the world, Elon Musk does not have a grand, ultra-luxurious home.
So whenever she drops by the SpaceX CEO’s pad in Boca Chica, the location of the company's Texas headquarters and Starbase launch site, she has no choice but to spend the night sleeping in the garage.
The reason behind the unusual sleeping arrangement? “You can’t have a fancy house near a rocket site,” quipped Maye Musk.
A couple of weeks ago, Elon Musk had said during a podcast that he lives in a “very small” house in Boca Chica worth $45,000. Prior to that, he had claimed in 2020 that he was selling “almost all” of his physical belongings and “will own no house”.
