There has not been a day since October 2022 when Elon Musk and Twitter have not been in the news. The $44 billion deal has created a stir due to various decisions that Musk implemented. The new CEO began his layoff saga by firing the top executives from the platform including the ex-CEO Parag Agrawal. The next was the employees at Twitter who were laid off because of losing money due to the reduction of advertisements.After many trial and error debacles, he started releasing the ‘Twitter Files’, exposé of many behind-the-scenes controversial decisions.
Two independent journalists, Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss started releasing Twitter threads exposing the processes leading to some explosive revelations. So far, along with Elon Musk, the journalists have released ‘Twitter Files’ including the Donald Trump ban and the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. Recently, Matt released ‘Twitter Files’ titled ‘Twitter, The FBI Subsidiary’. Elon Musk also shared the thread. One of the users asked the FBI when they will raid the Tesla owner’s house. He gave a revelatory reply.

Elon Musk Says That He Does Not Have Home
A user, John Rich, who is the owner of a Nashville-based eatery ‘Redneck Riviera’ asked the FBI when they will raid the Twitter owner’s house. In December 2020, Elon Musk decided to move out of the tech center of Silicon Valley in California to move to Texas in a humble abode. He is now living in Texas in a rented house in the Boca Chica area. Elon Musk replied to the user that he does not own a house for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to raid.
I don’t have a home

Before renting the Texas apartment, the Tesla owner had seven houses in Los Angeles. But, in May 2020, he announced that he will be selling all his “physical possessions”, and that he will not own a house. He owned seven houses in Los Angeles, where he sold one after the other for $128 million collectively and gained a profit of $25 million.
One of the reasons he moved out of California was the stringent regulations. During the pandemic, one of his factories in California shut down, and he built a new one in Texas to evade any strict taxation and manufacturing regulations. So, he moved into a small house in Texas to live close to the Tesla and SpaceX projects. Earlier, the house was a two-bedroom house. Later, Elon turned the garage into a third room.

The CEO Shared The Sixth Edition Of The ‘Twitter Files’
On December 2nd, Elon Musk tweeted that they will be releasing a thread about what happened with the Hunter Biden story suppression. After the release, there was a delay in a new update, which later the two journalists found out was because of James ‘Jim’ Baker, the former FBI and Twitter’s General Counsel. Later, Musk fired him due to “suppression” of the Hunter Biden story.
