In a new interview with The New York Times, billionaire Elon Musk shares his dream of being a “homeless billionaire. The truth is that, surprisingly, Musk lived for more than 15 years without a home.

Just two months ago, Musk tweeted that he was selling “almost all of his property” with the goal of “getting to not own any” since having possessions only weighs him down. However, his girlfriend Grimes “thinks he should keep at least one house. Oh, at least she’s fine.
