Elon Musk, one of the worldā€™s richest men, is believed to live in a Casita (a 375-square-foot tiny home). These homes already have a reported 47,000-person waitlist. Do you think you could live in a tiny home? > **[Elon Musk reportedly lives in a $50,000 prefab tiny home that already has a...](https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tiny-home-prefab-boxabl-casita-50000-person-waitlist-2021-8?r=US&IR=T)** > > Boxabl had a wait list of about 40,000 people before the Musk rumors began. Now, its list has jumped to 47,000 who want more than 100,000 tiny homes. ---

That sounds like half the size of the average UK house. I think it depends, on how big your family is. And how much outside space you have. Plus whether you spend a lot of time as home or not. Saying that, it sounds like Elon crashes there rather than living there in the traditional sense. I saw somewhere that he rents it from SpaceX. Do we know how much rent he pays on that place? ---

> [@saf](#): > > I think it depends, on how big your family is. Yeah, this is a really good point - from the pictures on the article it looks like a studio flat so Iā€™m guessing it wouldnā€™t really be suitable for more than 2 people. I personally like the idea of small houses. I think it encourages you to live minimally. Might change my mind on this in the future though! > [@saf](#): > > Do we know how much rent he pays on that place? The only figures I can see relate to it being worth $50K - would be really interesting to know what he pays! ---

I do live in a tiny home! šŸ”Ž šŸ” šŸ˜† Admittedly, Iā€™m not 100% sure how it measures up to Elon Muskā€™s Casita šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™m going to have to do some measuring & see! Personally, Iā€™d like a bit more space - but my place isnā€™t so bad šŸ™ƒ ---

> [@notthemessiah](#): > > Iā€™m going to have to do some measuring & see! Yeah, Iā€™d be interested to measure my flat and see how it compared - I reckon my flat is probably a similar size? What was it like living on a canal boat @jase? ---

I like the idea of moving around, but I donā€™t love the thought of running out of water haha Maybe a weeks holiday on a canal boat is a good place to start! ---

I would love to live in tiny home and think that eventually, Iā€™ll end up in something slightly bigger than a tiny home. Do you have a dream home @rebekah? I have two on my list that are my ultimate (not really tiny home but I would be happy with a tiny version of either) [https://bestawards.co.nz/spatial/residential/cheshire-architects/waiheke-house/](https://bestawards.co.nz/spatial/residential/cheshire-architects/waiheke-house/) [https://vipp.com/en/hotel/vipp-shelter](https://vipp.com/en/hotel/vipp-shelter) ---

Both of these look incredible! Although the video on the Vipp house is giving me slight horror movie vibes lol? > [@Joel](#): > > Do you have a dream home @rebekah? Hmm my current dream house would probably be a cute victorian terrace in North London somewhere - Iā€™m like @jase though and am big on the design and finish of a place! Always see so many incredible houses [on this account](https://www.instagram.com/themodernhouse/) that give me serious inspoā€¦
