Tiny homes have become an undeniably popular alternative to the classic family home or apartment. Rumors have even circulated in the last few years that EV-maker Tesla is creating its own tiny home for $15,000.

While those reports don't have much merit, the little living units have even attracted the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk uses a $50,000 prefab house from startup Boxabl as a guest house in Texas. Take a look inside one of Boxabl's houses.

Curious about the tiny home owned by a man who could afford countless mansions instead? During a podcast appearance, Musk confirmed he owns a prototype unit from Boxabl, a Las Vegas startup.

Boxabl's debut product is the Casita, a $49,500, 375-square-foot, prefab home. In late 2021, Boxabl said it installed a Casita in Boca Chica, Texas — where SpaceX's launch site is — for a "top secret customer."
