Elon Musk buys secret compound for his children and their mothers

Elon Musk , the father of at least 12, wants his children to grow together, though some of them are grown-ups and are not at all close to their father. According to a New York Times report, Elon Musk has told people close to him in recent months that he envisions some of his children and two of the three mothers residing at the same compound so that the children could be a part of one another's lives and Musk could schedule time among them.

Musk reportedly has a 14,400-square-foot mansion villa in Austin where he envisions the secret compound for his huge family -- there are three mansions for three mothers and their children.

The NYT report said Musk initially hoped to build a compound for his family on the hundreds of acres that he and his companies owned outside Austin, near Tesla's headquarters. But the investigation by the Justice Department into whether Tesla's resources had been used for personal use forced Elon to drop the idea.

Elon Musk was living with former girlfriend Grimes in a 6,900-square-foot house until Grimes moved out and left Austin in 2023. "Still Mr Musk continued his home purchase spree. He offered some homeowners 20 to 70 per cent above the value of their houses, according to those homeowners. Some were required to sign nondisclosure agreements just to see the offer, according to three people familiar with the agreements," the NYT report said.

Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, mother of three of Musk's children, now lives in Austin.

After the death of his first child, Nevada, who died when he was only 10 weeks, Elon Musk welcomed five children with his wife Justin Wilson -- Griffin, Vivian (Xavier before coming out as transgender), Kai Saxon and Damian; X, Exa Dark Sideræl, Techno Mechanicus with Grimes; Strider, Azure and another child whose name and sex are not known with Shivon Zilis.
