Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has claimed he doesn’t own a home.

In a video interview with TED’s Chris Anderson, the billionaire tech giant explained that he doesn’t currently own a house and regularly relies on friends to offer him a place to stay.

“I don’t even own a place right now, I’m literally staying at friends’ places,” he said. “If I travel to the Bay Area, which is where most of Tesla’s engineering is, I basically rotate through friends’ spare bedrooms.”

Last June, Elon wrote on Twitter that his only residence was a $50,000 rental from SpaceX in Texas, though indicated that he also had owned an “events house”.

“My primary home is literally a ~$50k house in Boca Chica/ Starbase that I rent from SpaceX. It’s kinda awesome though,” he posted. “Only house I own is the events house in the Bay Area. If I sold it, the house would see less use, unless bought by a big family, which might happen someday.”

  • New Research Shows How Liquid Sunlight Could Charge Your Phone

    You may soon be able to charge your phone using liquid sunlight. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden have created a rechargeable device that stores solar thermal energy in a liquid or solid form and converts it to electricity when required. The team behind the research hope it could one day power your smartphone and eliminate the need for batteries. Research leader Kasper Moth-Poulsen says: “This is a radically new way of generating electricity from solar energy. It means that we can use solar energy to produce electricity regardless of weather, time of day, season, or geographical location.”. The technology is based on a specially designed molecule that changes shape when it comes into contact with sunlight. The researchers partnered with colleagues Tao Li and Zhiyu Hu at Shanghai Jiao Tong University where the energy was released and converted into electricity. This meant that in effect Swedish sunshine was sent to the other side of the world and converted into electricity in China.
