Musk Moves to Austin: A $35 Million Home for His Growing Family

Newsis

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has purchased several mansions in Austin, Texas, to live with his 11 children.

On Wednesday, The New York Times and other outlets reported that Musk spent $35 million on two mansions in Austin.

In recent months, Musk has expressed a desire to live near all of his children. He is currently residing in another house nearby.

One of the mansions is reportedly home to Shivon Zilis, who lives there with their children. Zilis, an executive at Neuralink founded by Musk, has given birth to three of his children.

In contrast, Grimes (real name Claire Boucher), Musk’s former girlfriend and mother of three other children, is not living in Musk’s Austin mansion. She is currently engaged in a legal dispute with Musk over custody of their children.

Musk’s five children and his first wife, author Justine Wilson, are also reported to be living elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the New York Times speculates that Musk, who has constantly voiced concerns about the decline of the global population, may consider increasing his family size through sperm donations.

According to Walter Isaacson’s biography, Elon Musk, published last September, Musk offered to donate his sperm to Zilis and encouraged her to have children. Zilis agreed, resulting in the birth of fraternal twins through in vitro fertilization.

Musk reportedly welcomed a third child with Zilis this year, which he confirmed to the New York Post in June.
