Even though just one of Elon Musk’s 11 children has agreed to move in, it has been rumored that he plans to construct a covert family compound for the two of the three mothers.
According to The New York Times, the Tesla CEO paid $35 million for two properties, including a 14,400-square-foot mansion that resembles a Tuscan villa and a six-bedroom house right behind it, in a leafy area of Austin, Texas, that are both within walking distance of one another.
According to the newspaper, Musk has also bought a third house that is only a short stroll from the other two.
According to the Times, the millionaire was so intent on keeping things secret that he forced the property sellers to sign nondisclosure agreements before making an offer.
Musk reportedly offered up to 70% more than the homes’ market value, demonstrating his willingness to pay top dollar.
The CEO of Tesla has made public remarks regarding the necessity of increasing the number of children in order to prevent population decrease.
He even offered his sperm to friends and acquaintances, including Nicole Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, the Times reported.
The Times claims that Shanahan, who has strongly refuted rumors that she had an affair with Musk, declined the business magnate’s offer of his sperm.
According to the Times, Shivon Zilis, the CEO at Neuralink and mother of three of Musk’s children, has moved inside the property thus far. She was inseminated with Musk’s sperm through in vitro fertilization.
Three of Musk’s children are born to Grimes, a Canadian pop singer whose real name is Claire Boucher. The two are fighting about who gets to keep their kids.
Musk’s first wife, Justine, is the mother of five of his children. As of Tuesday, neither Justine Musk nor Grimes were residing in the compound.
Musk and Grimes had been residing in a 6,900-square-foot Austin house in the summer of 2023. They welcomed a son, their third child, through surrogacy around that time.
The Times claims that Musk intended to purchase the adjacent property in order to build a private compound where he could keep more of his children.
Grimes, however, left the house shortly after. According to reports, Musk’s friendship with Zilis disturbed the Canadian artist.
The Times claims that Musk sent his sperm to Zilis in 2021 without Grimes’ knowledge, at the same time that the business magnate and his pop star girlfriend were expecting a second child, who was borne by a surrogate.
According to author Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk, Zilis gave birth to twins in late 2021, just weeks before Grimes’ kid was born.
According to the publication, a month after the birth of the Zilis twins, Grimes discovered that Musk was the father of Zilis’ children.
According to the Times, Musk gave one of the daughters born by Zilis the name Valkyrie, which was allegedly the name the mogul and Grimes chose for their kid, further alienating the singer.
In the end, Grimes gave her child a different name, while Zilis changed the name of her daughter.
In a since-deleted tweet, Grimes stated, “A girl cursed with my daughter’s name will now carry her mother’s shame.”
Both Grimes and Zilis were co-parenting with Musk in Austin at the time of the children’s births.
Nevertheless, Grimes left the city in the summer of 2023 after suing Musk to get custody of their kids.
Musk kept acquiring adjacent properties in an attempt to realize his dream of a compound where his eleven children could live together, even after Grimes left.
Elon Musk and Justine Musk initially crossed paths while attending Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, where Elon Musk made his initial millions after selling the internet business Zip2, they got married in January 2000.
The couple lost their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk, to SIDS at the age of ten weeks after he was born in 2002.
The couple went on to have five children in total: Griffin and Xavier Musk, twins, in 2004; Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk, triplets, in 2006.
Vivian, a 20-year-old child, was born a biological boy. Later on, she changed her gender to female.
After being “killed by the woke mind virus,” Vivian’s father declares her “dead,” causing her to become distant from him.
Elon Musk, Grimes, Justine Musk and Zilis were unavailable to comment.
