"[Musk] lives at times below the poverty line," Grimes said, per Vanity Fair. "To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there's no security, and I'm eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?" [0]
In the same article Grimes complains Musk wouldn't replace a broken mattress.
No idea how Much this shows Musk is cash poor, and how much it shows crazy rich person, but it gives a glimpse either way

I have a difficult time believing Telsa couldn't put him up in executive housing and cover a security detail. Or, he couldn't send out a tweet and get a $50 million line of credit, uncallable line of credit to live on. Especially given that he can at get 13 billion dollars to acquire another company.
I think he likes bragging about being a homeless couch surfer.
I wonder what a paper billionaire's definition of 'cash poor' is compared to mine.
