- Elon Musk told a Twitter user asking when the FBI would raid his home that he doesn't own one.
- The Tesla CEO sold his seven homes between June 2020 and November 2021 for a total of $128 million.
- He's since been living in a "very small" $45,000 home located in Boca Chica, South Texas.
Elon Musk responded to a Twitter user asking when the Federal Bureau of Investigation would raid his home on Saturday claiming he didn't have one.
"I don't have a home," the Tesla CEO tweeted on Saturday.
Another user was quick to ask whether Musk had gotten rid of a prefab tiny house he's alluded to owning to which he responded: "It's a rental."
Musk sold all of his seven California homes between June 2020 and November 2021 for $128 million after vowing to "own no house" in 2020, Insider previously reported.

He previously said he moved out of California and closer to a launch site in Texas to focus on two of his companies; Tesla's new manufacturing complex and SpaceX, Insider reported.
This summer Musk told The Full Send podcast he now lives in a "very small" house in Boca Chica, Texas, that only cost $45,000. Although Musk denies having a main residence, he often stays in the three-bedroom house in South Texas and tweeted that smaller houses felt more "homey."
He added that the 900-square-foot house "used to be a two-bedroom" until he converted the garage into a third room – where his mother, Maye Musk, said she slept when visiting her son.
"My friends come and stay and they can't believe I'm staying in this house," Musk said on the podcast in August.
Musk didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by Insider.
