Elon Musk: the founder of Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, co-founder of PayPal and the richest man on Earth according to Forbes sometimes lives “below the poverty line,” her ex-partner Grimes said in her interview with Vanity Fair.
Grimes and Musk reportedly broke up some time ago. She is not only his on-and-off girlfriend, but also the mother of his two sons.
The Canadian musician described how she has had many financial transformations in her life, but living with Musk was a completely different experience. Apparently, the world’s richest man doesn’t like to be extravagant and “wouldn’t even buy a new mattress.”
She told the outlet that Musk didn’t like living like a billionaire. “Bro sometimes lives below the poverty line,” she added.
Musk is definitely not poor, but this information is consistent with Musk’s tweet from May 2020 where he shared that he planned to sell all his possessions and would not own a home.
However, Grimes has defended Musk on multiple platforms, praising his ambitions and calling him his “best friend and the love of his life.”
