Cars, Jets, and a Submarine on Wheels
Though he shuns mansions, Musk’s passion for extraordinary vehicles is well known. His collection includes a 1967 Jaguar E-Type Roadster, a McLaren F1, and several Tesla Roadsters—one of which famously launched into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in 2018 with a mannequin named “Starman.”
Among his rarities is a 1976 Lotus Esprit—nicknamed “Wet Nellie”—that appeared in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. The car can transform into a submarine, and Musk reportedly paid $1 million for it at auction.
He also owns multiple Gulfstream private jets, each worth tens of millions, underscoring that while Musk may live small, he still travels large.
