It depends. Are you trying to get rid of distractions or are you trying to be humble?

In a sense you shouldnt own anything you arent willing to get rid of, except maybe really personal items

Having a lot of shit is a waste of money and chains you down

Minimalism is good for your Zen.

Most people hold on to stuff for the memories. But memories aren't experiences. Don't let stuff hold you down. Spend your money on experiences, not crap

it makes sense for him because he can literally rent or lease everything he ever needs, if he feels like living in Miami for a week in a mansion he can do that, if he wants to rent a private jet and fly around the world or live in a rented yacht then he can afford that, owning things would just tie him down. Also I'm half convinced he's preparing for when his crazy wife divorces him so he can throw all his wealth into a South Dakota trust and screw her over.

If you want to be one of the most successful men on the planet, it's probably true. Most entrepreneurs already work 60+ hours a week if its their full-time job. If you're a wagie and don't own whatever you produce then yeah 100 hours a week isn't worth it.

Pretty sure he cannot and has to be very careful of his words and actions after all every single dollar off his is sitting in a Jewish bank

"Don't buy dumb shit" is a great philosophy. Selling your home is absolutely retarded as you need shelter somewhere no matter what. Where exactly is he going to put his many kids? Selling a home to rent another one accomplishes nothing.

Elon owns multiple companies.
Fungible liquid assets like cash and equities are much easier to make money on than buildings that have very high expenses to maintain.
Most RETARDS don’t understand that abs call landlords parasites when many aren’t making much money at all after they get done paying property tax, maintenance, mortgage etc
For some reason people think selling nudes on onlyfans is a valid service but giving someone a place to live is not.

Owning as little as possible is a good pose for someone who is extremely wealthy and owns multiple homes and large stakes in multiple companies that he founded.
For a poorfag, it’s a cope.
Know the difference between a pose and a cope.

This. I agree 100%.
