Elon Musk reportedly bought a $35 million compound with enough room for his blended family — which includes three exes and at least 11 children — to live together with him in Austin, Texas.

Four people familiar with the Tesla founder’s plans told the New York Times Tuesday that Musk bought a 14,400-square-foot mansion designed to look like the lavish homes in Tuscany, Italy.

Directly behind the villa is a six-bedroom mansion he helped purchase, per sources and public records.

Musk has reportedly shared with people close to him that he wants two of his children’s mothers to live in “adjoining properties” to make it easier for him to “schedule time” among his youngest kids. He also wants the little ones to “be a part of one another’s lives.”

He was presumably speaking about his two most recent exes, Neuralink employee Shivon Zilis and singer Grimes, moving in, as that is with whom he shares younger children.

Musk and Zilis share 2-year-old twins, Strider and Azure, and a third child whose name is unknown but was reportedly born earlier this year.

Grimes, for her part, has a 4-year-old son, X AE A-XII, a 2-year-old daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, and 2-year-old son, Techno Mechanicus, with the billionaire businessman.

Musk has only adult children with his first wife, Justine Musk.

The former couple — who were married from 2000 to 2008 — share 20-year-old twins, Griffin and Vivian Musk, and 18-year-old triplet sons, Kai, Saxon and Damian. They also lost a baby, Nevada, from sudden infant death syndrome at just 10 weeks old in 2002.

Although it does not appear that Elon is prioritizing his children with Justine moving into the compound, a source told the New York Times that “there is room” for them should they decide to visit.

An insider pointed out, however, that the tech mogul is estranged from at least one of his older kids.

Elon has publicly fought with Vivian over her gender identity, claiming she has been “killed by the woke-mind virus.” He also claimed he was duped into approving gender reassignment surgery for her transition.

Vivian, meanwhile, slammed her famous father as a “serial adulterer” who is “not a family man” and “won’t stop f–king lying about [his] own children.”

Page Six has reached out to all of the mothers of Elon’s children for comment on the reported family compound, but did not immediately hear back.

The New York Times reports that Zilis, 38, has already “moved into one of the homes with her children.”

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, has “so far steered clear,” per the outlet, as she is embroiled in a custody battle with Elon over their three kids.

In October 2023, the PayPal co-founder quietly sued the Canadian songstress, 36, in Texas for the parental rights of X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus.

He claimed in the filing that he had “actual care, control, and possession of each child since the birth of each child,” noting, more specifically, that the care has taken place in Texas, where he resides full time.

Grimes then sued Elon days later in California. The “Genesis” singer claimed in a filing that she and her three kids had moved to the West Coast “on or about” Dec. 31, 2022, and therefore the California court should have jurisdiction over their case.

A family law attorney exclusively told Page Six in November 2023 that she had “no doubt” that Elon filed his paperwork in Texas to try and score a better child support deal.

Stephanie I. Blum explained at the time, “Texas law places a cap on the amount of child support the higher earner has to pay regardless of their wealth.”

Elon, 53, is the richest man in the world, with a net worth of $268.8 billion as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Forbes.

Holy shit I thought the whole "Tau Mechanicus" thing was a joke. That's fucking real?! Honestly should charge both parents with child abuse.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh goddammit he really named his kid after the machine cult in Warhammer 40k didn't he. FFS I should have known he's a fucking 40k fan, he would be the type to completely miss the point and think the Imperium is cool and based

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He sure as shit won't post his models. He probably just saw God Emperor Trump memes and thought "WHY DIDN'T THEY MAKE THAT ME?!?!?!?"

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think he plays the tabletop or builds+paints any minis, he's seen some memes, read a couple wiki pages, maybe played some of the games. He's mainly interested in the "wow cool epic fascist space men sure do shoot good! Kill the witch, burn the heretic, purge the xenos!" over-your-head aspect of 40k. It's a useful way to express fascist ideals while using irony/satire as a shield.

True anon rule - never move to the compound

Fucking Texas man

He's going to Waco Upo soon

Unlimited ATF incendiaries on Musk Town

I really hope the dumbfuck edgelord's kids change their name as soon as they are able to. (Thought it was fake/meme but i guess not)

Billionaires forming their own Mormon splinter groups was not on my bingo card

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

In a weird way it makes sense, because the Mormon polygamists point to biblical figures with multiple wives to justify their lifestyle. But those figures were basically the Musks and Bezos of the ancient world.

I thought for sure he would end up dying in a lithium fire in a Tesla, but it turns out he is going to end up dying in a lithium fire in his compound in Texas.

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Really hoping he eventually goes full Howard Hughes and lives in his mansion jarring his own waste for some weird esoteric fucking reason

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

The woke mind virus is what convinces people that fermented shit is not the cure for male pattern baldness.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He's really not beating the "Most Divorced Man Alive" allegations

Also incredibly funny bit, he makes the compound large enough for his whole fucked up family and 60% want absolutely nothing to do with Musktown

X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus

Hate

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Tau Techno Mechanicus

The worst part about this name is how fucking touristy it is. Dude is quite possibly the only person on earth rich enough to be able to afford 40k miniatures and he doesn't even bother to learn anything about the game or anything.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus, wanting a harem of broodmares?

Check his hard drive AND check if he had a deviantart account.

[–] RiotDoll@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus Christ Grimes

can't even listen to your music anymore.

[–] a_party_german@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

And he will be doing drugs at this place I assume?

Talk about a bad trip

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

ATF has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

A couple weeks ago I binge watched Big Love. When I think of man living on compound with multiple wives and a huge number of their children - I can't help but think of a deranged and toxic man doing the same thing who hates the outside world but in his case he proclaims himself to be a Mormon prophet.

Why are there two sets of twins and a set of triplets? Eugenics?
