        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elon Musk just took another step in his quest to &#8220;own no house.&#8221;</p><p>The eccentric Tesla chief listed five more California properties for nearly $100 million after vowing to ditch most of his possessions.</p><p>Musk is seeking $62.5 million for four properties in Los Angeles&#8217;s swanky Bel-Air neighborhood, according to a Wednesday <strong>Zillow listing</strong> describing the plots as &#8220;a project for the big thinker&#8221; with &#8220;one of the best views in Los Angeles.&#8221;</p><p><span >Musk also put his century-old San Francisco-area mansion with &#8220;unobstructed bay views&#8221; on the market last week with an asking price of $35 million. He bought the 10-bedroom, 16,000-square-foot spread for $23.3 million in 2017, according to Zillow.</span></p><p>The latest Bel Air listing is down the road from a mansion Musk <strong>listed earlier this month</strong> following his revelation on Twitter that he was selling &#8220;almost all physical possessions&#8221; and would &#8220;own no house.&#8221;</p><p>The 48-year-old billionaire is also seeking $9.5 million for a ranch-style property once owned by Gene Wilder. Musk has said the &#8220;Blazing Saddles&#8221; star&#8217;s former home, which he bought in 2013, &#8220;cannot be torn down or lose any (of) its soul.&#8221;</p><p>The homes are part of Musk&#8217;s sprawling real-estate portfolio comprising nine California properties, according to a <strong>Wall Street Journal report.</strong></p><p>Musk — who is worth $35.9 billion, according to Forbes — has suggested that material possessions are a <strong>distraction from more lofty goals</strong> like getting to Mars or shifting the world to sustainable energy.</p><p>&#8220;They’re kind of an attack vector,&#8221; Musk said on a recent episode of Joe Rogan&#8217;s podcast. &#8220;[Critics] say ‘hey billionaire, you’ve got all this stuff.’ Well, now I don’t have any stuff. Now what are you going to do?&#8221;</p><p>But Musk&#8217;s pledge to sell his properties came alongside another May 1 tweet saying <strong>Tesla&#8217;s stock price was &#8220;too high,&#8221;</strong> which led shares in the electric-car maker to tank as much as 13 percent that day.</p><p>The message alarmed corporate governance experts because Musk agreed to have a lawyer review his tweets about Tesla in a 2019 deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>]]></content:encoded>
