Elon Musk has reportedly made Austin, Texas, the new home base for his 11 children and their mothers.
According to The New York Times, the Tesla CEO, who’s net worth is a jaw-dropping $274.7 billion, has developed a “14,400-square-foot mansion” as a communal residence for his children and two of their three mothers, including Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. This way, the 53-year-old entrepreneur and investor can accordingly schedule time among his children, who will all be raised together.
While Musk shares three children with Zilis, he also has another three children with Canadian musician Grimes, and five children with his first wife, Justine Musk.
Directly behind the family compound is a six-bedroom mansion that Musk assisted in purchasing, while both properties altogether cost $35 million. Musk reportedly resides in a third mansion while he’s in Austin, which is a short 10-minute walk away. The location is also fitting business-wise, as Musk houses his companies SpaceX, X and Tesla’s Gigafactory in the Silicon Hills.
Musk, who’s been extensively hitting the presidential campaign trail with Republican nominee Donald Trump, has shared controversial thoughts about parenting in the past. In an X post from April, he equated raising children to “18 years of prompt engineering.”
When asked for advice from a first-time parent, Musk advised that they be “super careful about what schools teach your kids.”
In July, Musk denied reports that he volunteered his sperm to populate Mars, although colonizing the planet still seems to be among his long-term goals.
