Maye finally explains why she sleeps in her son’s, Elon Musk, garage

While most would assume Elon Musk’s mother, Maye, is treated to nothing but luxury when she visits her son’s house in Texas, you may be shocked to find out that she actually has to sleep in his garage. (Read More Here).

The 74-year-old shares a very close relationship with Elon, and with his $229 billion net worth, trust and believe that the Tesla founder certainly takes care of his mother very well — but there seems to be a reason why Maye is left to turn his garage into her bedroom when she visits.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Maye said her wealthy son currently resides in Texas, where the SpaceX headquarters are based. And given that he stays in close proximity to his office, “you can’t have a fancy house near a rocket site,” she explained. Elon had previously told fans in April how he doesn’t “own a home right now” and had mostly been staying with friends and family.

Since then, he has settled into a $50,000 rental form his SpaceX company, and claimed that his real estate portfolio had been sold off as he plans to move to Mars by 2030. When Maye was asked if she would be joining her son on the first trip to the fourth planet from the Sun, she stated, “You have to have six months of preparation and isolation and that just doesn’t appeal to me. But if my kids want me to do it, I will do it.”
