**Elon Musk, the enigmatic Tesla and SpaceX billionaire, has made headlines once again—this time with a high-priced plan for his very own secret family compound.**
**The tech tycoon, who has fathered 11 children with three different women, reportedly envisions a secluded oasis where his family can reside together, at least part of it.**
**Musk, now based in Austin, Texas, recently splurged on two massive estates in a leafy neighborhood, shelling out $35 million for properties that would house his unconventional family.**
**One of these lavish homes is a sprawling 14,400-square-foot mansion, built to resemble a Tuscan villa, and complete with endless amenities.**
**Just a short walk behind it sits another impressive six-bedroom property—both of which are in close proximity to a third house Musk recently acquired.**
**But in true Musk fashion, the purchase came with an air of secrecy: before he even made an offer, he reportedly demanded that the sellers sign non-disclosure agreements.**
**As one of the most well-known advocates for reversing population decline, Musk has made it clear he believes in expanding the family tree—even offering to share his DNA with close friends and associates.**
**Musk’s commitment to repopulation may be idealistic to some, but according to reports, he offered his sperm to Nicole Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who, however, turned down the proposition.**
**The ambitious family compound isn’t just about property—it’s about Musk’s vision of a modern-day dynasty, bringing together the mothers of his children under one (well, three) roofs.**
**So far, Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive and mother of Musk’s twins, has agreed to the idea and is reportedly already living on the compound grounds.**
**The arrangement comes with some awkwardness, however, as Musk’s ex-partner and mother of three of his children, Canadian pop star Grimes, has reportedly distanced herself from the billionaire.**
**Grimes, whose legal name is Claire Boucher, is in a custody dispute with Musk and, for now, has no plans to move into the compound.**
**Meanwhile, Musk’s first wife, Justine Musk, who shares five children with him, also has not shown interest in joining the unconventional household arrangement.**
**To understand Musk’s current family dynamics, we need to rewind to the beginning of his relationships with these three women.**
**Justine Musk, the billionaire’s first wife, met him at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, where they were both students.**
**The couple married in 2000 and began a family, but they were met with heartbreak early on when they lost their first son, Nevada Alexander, to sudden infant death syndrome in 2002.**
**Justine and Musk eventually went on to have twins, Griffin and Xavier, in 2004, followed by triplets—Kai, Saxon, and Damian—in 2006.**
**However, their marriage took a hit amid Musk’s growing tech empire, and the couple divorced in 2008.**
**While she supported his vision, Justine has remained distant from Musk’s whirlwind of relationships, often focusing on her own career as an author and her life outside the Musk spotlight.**
**Years later, Musk would enter a high-profile relationship with Grimes, an avant-garde artist with a fiercely independent persona, in 2018.**
**Their relationship brought a new wave of media attention as they welcomed their first son, X Æ A-12, in 2020, followed by a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, in 2021, via surrogate.**
**In 2023, the couple had a third child together, a son, through a surrogate, further intertwining Grimes’ life with Musk’s expanding family.**
**Yet, tensions grew when Grimes learned that, without her knowledge, Musk had fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, his Neuralink executive, through IVF around the same time their own second child was on the way.**
**To add salt to the wound, Musk reportedly used a name Grimes had planned for their daughter, Valkyrie, for one of Zilis’ twins, a choice Grimes described as a “curse.”**
**This unusual arrangement left Grimes feeling further alienated, and she eventually left Austin in 2023, taking legal action to secure custody of her children.**
**Meanwhile, Zilis, reportedly still supportive of Musk’s family vision, took up residence on the estate.**
**In Musk’s mind, this compound would be a private haven for his children to grow up together—a modern-day familial utopia where his offspring could form strong bonds.**
**“The more, the merrier,” he has often claimed when discussing the idea of expanding his family.**
**While the Tesla CEO continues to envision this large family unit, Grimes’ departure has left some doubts about whether the grandiose plan will come to fruition as he imagined.**
**Musk’s dedication to the family mission doesn’t seem to be swayed, however; the billionaire remains committed to acquiring more property to fulfill his dream of a self-sustaining family enclave.**
**In fact, reports indicate that Musk had originally planned to buy the house next door to the mansion where he was staying with Grimes in the summer of 2023.**
**But that idea fizzled out when Grimes, unhappy with Musk’s increasingly close relationship with Zilis, decided to part ways.**
**The two now find themselves in a contentious custody dispute that has only added more drama to Musk’s family saga.**
**Though Zilis has taken her place in Musk’s compound, Grimes and Justine remain conspicuously absent, calling into question the feasibility of Musk’s family-centric vision.**
**Yet Musk presses on, reinforcing his message about the need for more children in a world he warns is facing population decline.**
**Musk, now 53, is also dealing with family tensions on another front: his 20-year-old daughter, Vivian, who transitioned to female, has publicly cut ties with him.**
**Vivian reportedly severed the relationship, citing disagreements with her father’s views, which Musk has referred to as a product of “the woke mind virus.”**
**The estrangement has led to another layer of complexity in Musk’s family life, one that seems to challenge his vision of a tightly knit clan.**
**As of now, the futuristic family compound he’s poured millions into remains half-occupied, with only Zilis and her children on site.**
**Grimes’ and Justine’s decision to keep their distance highlights the challenge Musk faces in creating the close-knit family he publicly promotes.**
**Despite setbacks, Musk’s ambitions remain steadfast, and he continues to build his mini-empire—one property at a time.**
**The compound stands as a testament to his unique family philosophy, albeit one that seems riddled with unresolved tensions and fractured relationships.**
**It’s clear that Musk’s efforts to bring his children and their mothers together under one roof are as ambitious as any of his ventures.**
**Whether his family compound will ever be a reality remains to be seen, but for now, Musk’s Austin project hints at the billionaire’s unwavering determination to craft his own modern family dynasty.**
**And as the world watches, Musk’s compound is set to be yet another chapter in the ever-unfolding saga of the man who won’t take “no” for an answer—not even from his own family.**
