Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said he plans to sell his "last remaining house" after vowing to sell off all his possessions to fund a colony of people living on Mars.<\/p>\n

The SpaceX founder and tech billionaire previously vowed in May of 2020 to sell off all of his physical possessions and "own no house" before launching a Mars colony by 2050. <\/p>\n

His house, situated in the San Francisco Bay Area, had been rented out for "events".<\/p>\n

In a tweet shared late on Sunday, Musk wrote: "Decided to sell my last remaining house. Just needs to go to a large family who will live there. It's a special place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Musk said last week that he had sold all his other houses, and added that he rented his main property in Boca Chica, Texas, from his aerospace company SpaceX.<\/p>\n

"It's going to take a lot of resources to build a city on Mars," Musk told Mathias D\u00f6pfner, the CEO of Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, in a December interview.<\/p>\n

"I want to be able to contribute as much as possible to the city on Mars. That means just a lot of capital."<\/p>\n

He had also previously tweeted on Wednesday: "Yeah, [I] sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that\u2019s rented out for events.<\/p>\n
