The real reason Elon Musk stopped building his ‘Iron Man’ house

Elon Musk appeared on the podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience, on May 7, 2020 and talked houses with the UFC commentator, marking Musk’s second appearance on the podcast. While they were talking houses, Musk mentioned his thoughts on building a dream home and Rogan asked: “What’s a dream house for Elon Musk? Some Tony Stark type s**t?”

Musk said, “Yeah, definitely.” He added: “Yeah, you got to have the dome that opens up with the stealth helicopter!”

Rogan obviously loved the idea and said: “Yeah. F**k yeah!”

But then Musk explained why he wouldn’t go through with building an “Iron Man” home: “But then I was like ‘Does it really make sense to spend time designing, and building a house? Or should I be allocating that time getting us to Mars. What’s more important, Mars or a house? Mars. Okay.'”

Musk explained that he would get too wrapped up in the little details and design, adding: “You can only do so many things.”

So Musk has decided to rent a house and forfeit the project of building a dream home to reach Mars instead. That’s a pretty interesting list of hierarchies!
