«Possession only weighs you down […] I am selling almost all of my material possessions. I won't own any house “. Elon Musk seems to have changed his mind. After announcing that he wanted to get rid of all his possessions in 2020, the boss of Tesla and Space X would now like to buy a house for his 11 children. Two of the three different mothers with whom he gave birth to all these children, would also be part of this project. Elon Musk will not have remained a tenant for very long.
One of Donald Trump's biggest campaign backers in his run for president reportedly purchased 1,300-square-foot homes within walking distance of each other in Austin, Texas, for $35 million. dollars, depending on New York Times . A not so huge sum when we know that the fortune of the founder of Tesla is estimated at nearly 192 billion dollars, according to Forbes. Musk was willing to pay top dollar, offering up to 70% more than the listed price.
Initially, the American billionaire planned to build a kind of village for his entire family with several houses on several hectares, belonging to Musk and his companies. The Department of Justice would have investigated whether the income generated by Tesla would have been used for the personal use of its boss. In August 2023, on X, Elon Musk stated that he was not building “no house of any kind“. That’s when he started looking at already-built properties in Austin. He came across a mansion resembling a Tuscan villa and a six-bedroom house just behind that mansion, on a quiet, leafy street. Elon Musk wants to move his whole family there. This way, the children could get to know each other better, and their father could spend time with them.
Bring all your children together
Family is essential for Elon Musk. “It should be considered a national emergency to have children», he posted on X last June. He is fighting against the decline in the birth rate, fearing a demographic collapse, “the second greatest danger to civilization after the IA,” according to him. However, not all of his children will surely agree to live under the same roof as Musk. His transgender daughter Vivian in particular, who is at odds with her father. The billionaire said: “My son is dead, killed by the woke virus».
Vivian sharply criticized her father: You're not a family man, you're a serial cheater who keeps lying about your own children“. Likewise, his two ex-wives may not agree to live together. For the moment, only one has accepted Musk's original proposal. To see if this family reunification project will see the light of day. The American billionaire is not the only one thinking about the future of his children. American actor Sylvester Stallone is preparing to offer a luxury house with 8 bedrooms, delivered turnkey, to his three daughters.
