Elon Musk joked that his Texas garage is a suitable place for his mom after she revealed the subpar sleeping arrangements whenever she visits the world’s richest man.

The billionaire reacted Sunday to The Post’s article about his mother Maye Musk’s questionable living quarters.

“Yes, but I’ve done a lot with the place!” the 51-year-old replied to The Post’s tweet.

It came after his 74-year-old model mom downplayed the Tesla founder’s living situation, insisting to The Times that Musk wasn’t interested in possessions “at all” — and that she has to “sleep in the garage” when she visits him.

“You can’t have a fancy house near a rocket site,” she told the outlet.

Musk, whose net worth is an estimated $229 billion, revealed earlier this year that his primary residence is a rental property in Boca Chica — close to his SpaceX facility — that’s worth just $50,000.

In April, he said he no longer owned a home and was sleeping in his friends’ spare bedrooms.

Musk had said last year that he was selling off his real estate portfolio and giving up all tangible assets to devote his life “to Mars and Earth.”
