Episode Synopsis

Elon Musk, the billionaire leader of Tesla and SpaceX, is now the wealthiest Texas resident, according to Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the 400 richest Americans. But whether or not Musk also happens to be the richest person living in Austin remains open for debate. With an estimated net worth of $190.5 billion, Musk last year said he had relocated from California to Texas. Forbes lists Austin as Musk's city of residence, but the magazine did not say how it verified whether Musk is, in fact, an Austinite. Musk himself has never publicly confirmed that he lives in Austin.
