Ilon Musk wants to move his children and their mothers into a strange complex

Elon Musk, the father of at least 11 children, aims to relocate his fragmented family to a compound of three mansions in Austin, Texas.

According to the New York Times, Musk has expressed to those close to him his desire for his many children and two of their three mothers to move into two homes near his own, just minutes apart. Musk reportedly purchased the homes for $35 million in a relatively populated area of the city, which is an unusual choice for someone so extraordinarily wealthy. Interestingly, Musk's father, Errol Musk, had seven children with three different women.

It appears that Musk's plans are already unfolding. Reports indicate that the mother of three of his children, Shivon Zilis, the CEO of Neuralink, has already moved into one of the two mansions. The singer Grimes, Claire Boucher, who is also the mother of three of Musk's children, is unlikely to accept the offer due to a long-standing custody battle with their father. It remains unclear whether Musk's first wife, Justine Musk, the mother of his five eldest children, will agree to the proposal.

At least one of Musk's children is unlikely to move into the compound: transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson, who detailed in an NBC News interview this summer how she has experienced alleged abuse from Musk.

Musk's obsession with spreading his own genes has led to some bizarre situations. Journalists report that he has offered his sperm to friends and acquaintances, including former vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan, who declined the offer. In July, the NYT also reported that Musk voluntarily provided his sperm to SpaceX employees for the purpose of creating a Martian colony.

Elon Musk frequently discusses the importance of fertility and his concerns about its decline. Likely, having more than a dozen children won't deter him. The billionaire's strange views have prompted NYT journalists to draw comparisons to dangerous examples from the past. Jamelle Bouie compares Musk to David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians, who met a tragic end in the early 1990s.
