Elon Musk, who is the richest person in the world, is making some big changes at home. He is said to be constructing a huge mansion that covers 14,400 square feet, and it’s designed to help his big family stay close.
Musk is looking for a place where his 11 kids and two of their three mothers can live close to each other. This way, the younger siblings can grow up together, and Musk can spend more time with his family.
Recently, news from other countries reported that Elon Musk wants all his children and their mothers to live together in some way.
A guy named Elon Musk, who is the boss of Tesla and SpaceX, has 11 kids with three different women. Recently, The New York Times reported that he wants to move his entire family into three big houses in Austin, Texas, that are right next to each other.
His partner, Claire Boucher, who is also known as Grimes and has three kids with him, doesn’t like this idea. They’ve been arguing about who gets to take care of their kids. According to People magazine, Grimes wants another house, possibly in Los Angeles, so that all of Musk’s former partners and their kids can live together, as mentioned by The Bytes.
This sprawling setup doesn’t come cheap. With multiple properties totalling around $35 million, the compound includes a six-bedroom mansion just a 10-minute walk from the main villa, where Musk often stays.
Let’s break it down:
– Justine Musk was Elon Musk’s first wife, and together they had six kids. Sadly, their first baby, Nevada, died when he was just a baby. Later, they had twins named Griffin and Vivian, and then triplets named Saxon, Damian, and Kai.
– Talulah Riley is an actress who was married to Musk twice. Their relationship didn’t last because she wanted to focus more on her acting career.
– Claire Boucher, also known as Grimes, had a child with Musk in 2020. They named him X Æ A-Xii, and later on, they had more kids together.
– Shivon Zilis is another person Musk has kids with. She lives in Austin and is sometimes seen at local events. In June 2023, Musk shared that they welcomed their third child.
The Austin compound plan
Musk initially wanted to build a huge family estate on a large piece of land close to Tesla’s headquarters in Austin. However, things got complicated when the U.S. Justice Department began investigating if Tesla’s resources were being used to construct a fancy glass house just for Musk.
Even though Musk denied these rumors in August 2023, he kept looking for properties in Austin for his growing family. He was living in a big 6,900-square-foot house with Boucher until she moved out in the middle of 2023 due to a custody battle.
Family feuds and future living arrangements
It’s unclear which of Musk’s family members will settle into the new compound. Some of his older kids, like his daughter Vivian, are reportedly distant from him. Vivian, who is transgender, has publicly criticised her father, suggesting he’s not exactly the “family man” image he’s hoping to cultivate
