Recently, the news that Musk's "Tesla introduces a new housing concept! A small house only costs $60,000?" has sparked heated discussions online, with more and more untrue rumors emerging. It is reported that Tesla has not set foot in the real estate sector. The prefabricated house previously inhabited by Musk came from the BOXABL brand, not manufactured by Tesla. The prefabricated house has an official price of $60,000. After Musk made some improvements, he confidently stated, "I'm pretty sure it's now worth $69,000."
