Billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly purchased a sprawling multi-mansion estate in Austin, Texas, with the vision of raising his youngest children together in close proximity. According to four insiders who spoke with The New York Times, Musk acquired the 14,000-square-foot property to create a living arrangement where his family could reside in adjoining homes, allowing him to schedule dedicated time with his youngest children.

While it remains unclear if all of Musk’s ex-partners are on board with the plan, Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-tech startup Neuralink, has already moved into one of the estate’s mansions. Zilis shares three children with Musk—twins Strider and Azure, born in 2022, and a third child born earlier this year.

Musk, who frequently warns that depopulation is one of the greatest threats to humanity, has built much of his $270 billion fortune on advancements in sustainability. Recently, his company SpaceX successfully captured its Starship rocket using giant mechanical arms, while Tesla remains the world’s most valuable car manufacturer.

A Tumultuous Family Dynamic
Despite Musk’s ambitious vision for a unified family estate, his complex relationships with his ex-partners may complicate the plan. Sources say he hopes Claire Boucher, better known as the musician Grimes, will move in with their three children. However, the two are currently engaged in a bitter custody battle, which could delay any relocation.

Grimes and Musk first made headlines in 2020 when they named their son X AE A-XII. Since then, they have welcomed daughter Exa Dark Sideræl and son Tau Techno Mechanicus.

Adding to the family tensions, Musk’s transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, 20, has severed ties with her father, legally changing her name and stating she wants “nothing to do” with him. Their strained relationship became even more public when Musk claimed that his “son” had been ‘killed by the woke mind virus’ while explaining his support for Donald Trump.

The Zilis Controversy
Musk’s relationship with Zilis also caused tension within the family. It was later revealed that Musk had donated sperm to Zilis via IVF—the same method he used to conceive children with his first wife, Justine Musk. The controversy intensified when Grimes reportedly found out about the twins a month after they were born, further straining relations between the former couple.

To make matters worse, Musk allegedly took the name ‘Valkyrie’, which he and Grimes had planned for their daughter, and instead gave it to one of Zilis’ twins, adding insult to injury.

A Home for the Next Generation?
Musk, who also shares five adult children with Justine Musk—Vivian, her twin Griffin (20), and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian (18)—reportedly envisions the $35 million Austin estate, built in the style of a Tuscan villa, as a home for his new generation of children.

While some of Musk’s ex-partners may hesitate to join the compound, sources indicate that there is “room” for his adult children if they choose to visit.

Despite Musk’s relocation to Pennsylvania to support Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, he reportedly stays in a mansion just a 10-minute walk from the Austin compound whenever he is in Texas.

As Musk attempts to bring his family together under one roof, it remains to be seen whether his ambitious vision will materialize or if family conflicts will prevent his plan from taking shape.
