Elon Musk Makes Compound For His Baby Mamas In Texas

On a serene Austin street where sprawling, multimillion-dollar properties boast lush backyards and scenic views, one mansion stands out like a scene from a sci-fi soap opera. Imagine, if you will, a Tuscan villa teleported into Texas, a 14,400-square-foot mansion that Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man and apparently Texas' newest “Dr. Frankenstein of Families,” hopes will serve as the base for a unique family compound.

Here’s the vision: Musk, who’s fathered 11 children with three women, wants to gather his children and two of their mothers in this Texas enclave, ensuring the next generation of Musks can grow up like a quirky cousin cabal—united by shared genes, eccentric fame, and a splash of Silicon Valley. With each property in the compound adding to a growing list of Musk-owned mansions (estimated at around $35 million in value), Musk’s plan reads more like a plot twist from The Truman Show than real estate news.

Why Texas? And Why This Multimillion-Dollar Bond Villain’s Lair?

As a hub of his operations, Musk’s Texas move might be strategic for both business and personal reasons, but we’re left to wonder if he’s eyeing it as his staging ground for family “experiments.” He’s been vocal about his belief that humanity’s survival depends on increasing birthrates—a personal mission that Musk seems determined to accomplish, one set of twins at a time. With at least 11 children to his name, Musk has transformed the concept of family planning into something of a high-tech challenge, akin to populating his own space colony…just on Earth, for now.

And it’s no exaggeration to say this unusual family setup is off to a rocky start. Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink and mother to Musk’s twins, has already moved into one of the houses. But Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, who shares three children with Musk, is currently in a legal feud with him over custody issues, which has kept her away from the compound thus far. Adding to the drama, Musk’s first wife, Justine Musk, is still connected to the mix through their five children, although their relationships range from amicable to estranged.

The Compound Concept: A Real-Life “Brady Bunch” Meets “Blade Runner”?

Much like something out of a futuristic dystopia, Musk’s motives seem wrapped in the same existential fears that drive his companies. He founded SpaceX with an eye toward saving humanity by colonizing Mars, just in case Earth doesn’t work out, and now he’s determined to reverse what he sees as an impending population collapse by fathering as many children as possible. His Twitter posts (now known as “X”) have encouraged followers to have as many kids as they can, warning that a declining birthrate poses a bigger threat than climate change.

Texas, with its open spaces and fewer regulatory hurdles, seems like the ideal home base for a plan like Musk’s. He’s already transformed Austin into a hub for his other ventures, so why not add a multigenerational Musk mansion into the mix?

The Cast of Characters: Three Moms, Eleven Kids, and…More?

What makes this “compound” even more fascinating is Musk’s reported willingness to expand his gene pool beyond traditional boundaries. He's offered his own genetic material to friends and acquaintances, hoping to encourage the birth of more children—yes, really. When musician Grimes, who shares three children with Musk, discovered that he’d used the name they picked for one of their children with another mother, she allegedly even wrote a song about it.

As for Musk’s father, Errol, he praised Elon’s “good genes,” comparing child-rearing to horse breeding—a comment better suited to an old-school sci-fi novel than modern family planning. Musk Sr. has seven children himself, including two with his former stepdaughter, which lends a whole new dimension to the idea of “family drama.”

A Reality Show Waiting to Happen, But Do We Really Want Musk Here?

With this Texas compound, Musk is carving out a real-life set for a soap opera that nobody quite asked for, one where high-tech aspirations meet old-fashioned eccentricity. He’s the man who might be the future face of a pro-natalist movement (one that might include launching Earth’s first space family), but he’s also spending millions supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign and could one day oversee a “government efficiency commission” if Trump wins. So, while he builds a family fortress in Austin, he’s simultaneously positioning himself to reshape the federal government.

Musk’s Texas ambitions extend beyond family and into his company empires, making his Austin mansion cluster feel like the real-life headquarters of a science-fiction empire. It’s unclear whether Musk’s “compound” will ultimately be more Dynasty or Star Trek, but one thing’s for sure: the line between visionary tech mogul and eccentric billionaire dad just got blurrier. Texas, you might want to buckle up.
