After months of speculation and intrigue, Elon Musk once again caught the attention of the world, this time with the long -awaited release of his revolutionary $ 10,000. Announced a few hours ago through an enigmatic post in X, Tesla’s CEO confirmed that his minimalist and futuristic address, designed and built by his Boxabl housing startup, is now available for purchase. Nicknamed “Casita”, this small house promises to redefine the accessible life and is already sending shockwaves through real estate and technology industries.
Musk first provoked the concept in 2021, when he sold almost all his luxury properties, promising to live in a modest and portable house valued at just $ 10,000. “I’m serious about it,” he tweeted then, causing curiosity about whether the richest man in the world could actually reduce the size to a space of 375 square feet. Today’s quick advance, and the elegant, folding and solar-powered casita-solar energy-pledged from the prototype to the market ready for the market, with Musk itself as its highest test resident.
“This is not just a home – it’s a statement,” Musk said in a brief video that reveals Casita. “Accessible and sustainable life should not be a luxury. It’s here, it’s real and it’s for everyone.” At the price of $ 10,000 (more installation costs), the house comes equipped with a compact kitchen, bathroom and bedroom – all packed in a design that can be sent and mounted in less than an hour.
Built by Boxabl, a company that Musk has invested in silence for years, Casita is more than a trick. Its steel structure and isolated panels make it durable against the extreme climate, while the integrated solar panels and a Tesla-Dão manual battery system the potential outside the grid. 20 feet for 20 feet is compact but intelligently designed, with folding features that maximize space. “It’s like living in a Swiss army knife,” joked Boxabl co-founder Galiano Tiramani.
The personal brand of Musk is evident: domestic synchronization with Starlink for the high -speed internet anywhere and boasts a minimalist aesthetic that screams “futuristic chic”. First buyers may even opt for a “musk edition” with personalized touches, such as a Neuralink integrated anchoring station, although its goal remains a caveard break.
The announcement caused an immediate frenzy. In a matter of minutes, the Boxabl website fell under the weight of pre-registration, with reports of a waiting list that extends to 2026. Prices well below the cost of traditional houses, Casita is intended for buyers, minimalists and eco-warriors. “I’m selling my condominium tomorrow and buying it”, a user X posted. Another thought, “Elon is about to sink the real estate market – and I’m here for that.”
Real estate experts are divided. Some are a hunting divider for accessibility, especially in high -cost areas such as California and Texas. Others warn about logistics obstacles – zoning laws, land costs and scalability – that can slow their implementation. “It’s brilliant, but it’s not a silver bullet,” said Maria Cortez, an analyst of Zillow. “You still need a place to put.”
In addition to hype, insiders speculate that this is just the opening movement in the larger view of Musk: colonizing the earth before Mars. With Tesla’s energy technology and Boxabl’s modular designs, he is positioning himself as a pioneer in sustainable life-emphasis on a dollar trillion industry. “This is Musk saying,” I can also solve houses, “technology commentator Kara Swisher said. “He’s not just selling houses; he’s selling a lifestyle.”
For now, Casita’s debut marks another milestone for Musk – and a bold challenge for conventional life. As orders go up and the world watches, a question remains: Will this $ 10,000 change the way we live, or is it just another feat that fits the man who never stops dreaming?
