Why Elon Musk’s mom sleeps in the garage when she visits him in Texas

Things may be bigger in Texas, but that doesn’t apply May Muskdwelling.

According to the billionaire’s mother Elon Musk, she finds herself in a very unexpected place when she visits her son at his SpaceX headquarters in Boca Chica, Texas. “I have to sleep in the garage,” May said in times in the UK “You can’t have a fancy house near a missile site.”

Although May did not talk about her unconventional placement, she told the publication that her son is not interested in material goods. “No,” she said, “not in that sense at all.”

May now lives in an apartment in New York, where she prefers to spend her time walking her dog in what she describes as “old clothes, a shabby coat, a hat and dark glasses.”

“My place is small,” she said. “I don’t need a big one. I don’t need wasted space because with it comes responsibilities. I feel like I’ve settled in, and I told my kids, “This is the best place I’ve ever lived.”
