Does Elon Musk live in an RV?

Mr. Musk's primary residence has been a 375 ft modular mini home in Boca Chica, Texas close to SpaceX. The move to a Bean Trailer is driven by the need to further streamline his life and leverage his commute between SpaceX and Tesla facilities under construction in Austin, Texas.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is rumored to be moving into a simple teardrop trailer, Black Bean by Bean Trailer. This continues his trend of simplification and divesting himself of homes and personal assets that detract from his primary businesses, Tesla and SpaceX. Mr. Musk’s primary residence has been a 375 ft modular mini home in Boca Chica, Texas close to SpaceX. The move to a Bean Trailer is driven by the need to further streamline his life and leverage his commute between SpaceX and Tesla facilities under construction in Austin, Texas. Elon will travel between those facilities towing the aerodynamic Black Bean with a self-driving Tesla Model X. The small camper features a refined sleeping pod that is surprisingly spacious and allows him to relax at his facilities. The simple but efficient galley in the trailer will allow him to host meetings in the great outdoors that inspire continued innovation. Elon loves the modular expansion of Bean with the ability to dock a secondary sleeping pod and jettison it when not in use. Coincidently, the size, materials and ergonomics of the Bean cabin are remarkably like the private sleeping pods under development for the forthcoming Starship missions. It is speculated that part of Elon Musk’s motivation for moving into a Bean Trailer is to begin the acclimation process for his stated travel to Mars. Bean Trailer was surprised and ecstatic when contacted by the Baked Bean Network to comment on the rumor. Mark Harling, founder, and CEO of Bean stated, “Can you believe this?” He also noted that he had recently been called ‘the Elon Musk of the Trailer Industry’ by Drew Hansen of Playing with Sticks, a respected influencer in the teardrop trailer space. Representatives for Mr. Musk would not confirm or deny the rumors of the move into Bean. Their only response was “really…?” when told of the Harling comparison to Musk. We don’t know when and if Elon will begin living in a Bean Trailer, but it is rumored that he could start living in it as early as today, April 1st, April Fool’s Day.

What's the most expensive way to heat a house?

Heating oil: $2,526 Of all four fuels, oil is the most costly way to heat a home this winter, according to the EIA. Oil prices have risen so high that oil heat, once competitive with other major home-heating fuels, has become the most expensive to use. Prices are tied to world events, so they can change quickly.

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism. But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908. We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.” If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
