Elon Musk, American billionaire, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has always been a notable figure over the years. Not only is he the richest person in the world, he is also one of the pioneers in the field of technology, with groundbreaking projects such as self-driving electric cars, reusable rockets, and other strange inventions. However, there is a little-known side of Musk that was recently exposed through the words of his ex-girlfriend.
Despite having assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, Elon Musk is described as a person with a rather simple, even poor life compared to his level of wealth. Musk’s ex-girlfriend, in a recent interview, revealed that Elon never spends on luxury things. One of the things that surprised her was the fact that Musk lived in a small rented house and did not own expensive appliances that many other billionaires often have. According to this girlfriend, Musk once regretted spending money on a broken mattress and spent time looking for a new one even though the value was insignificant.
Musk is famous for his lifestyle that does not fit the image of a super rich person. Contrary to the lavish image of other billionaires, Musk once shared that he only owns a small house and has sold off most of his real estate. He tends to live a minimalist life, and has even said that he does not need a big house, because he wants to spend most of his time and assets on creative work.
During the interview, Musk’s ex-girlfriend shared another story, which was Elon’s regret about spending money on a broken mattress. In just 8 days, he spent a significant amount of money on replacing the mattress, but it was a decision that made him rethink. “He couldn’t even remember the last time he bought himself a luxury item, and the mattress was the only thing he felt like he needed to spend money on,” the girlfriend said.
Although known as the richest person on the planet, Elon Musk is not a perfect person. His life was full of challenges and stress. Over the past year, Musk has faced many problems related to his technology projects, from difficulties in producing electric cars for Tesla to controversies surrounding SpaceX’s activities. However, he still never stops working and creating, and always makes bold decisions at work.
Elon Musk is a complicated man. Even though he owns huge assets, he still lives a simple life and often makes surprising spending decisions. Regardless, Musk is still one of the most influential figures in the technology world, and stories about his life are always an interesting topic for the public.
