Elon Musk has reportedly been in the process of setting up a compound of homes where he wants his 11 children and two of their three mothers to reside.
The compound that the billionaire Tesla CEO is attempting to create is located in Austin, the Texas city home to the headquarters of his electric vehicle company, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the plans.
It involves a 14,400-square-foot home and a neighboring house with six bedrooms, according to the Times. The outlet also linked Musk to another house located near the pair of properties.

Musk’s goal with the Austin compound is to have his children and two of their mothers reside in close proximity to each other, according to the Times. Neuralink’s Shivon Zilis, with whom Musk has three children, reportedly calls one of the properties home.
Musk refuted the Times' report and told Page Six on Wednesday that he doesn't "own, nor am I building a compound in Austin" and that "no grand family compound/home has been built or is expected to be built." He also said he had an "idea for a big futuristic art project in the Austin area that would be open to the public, but have had too much work to get that going."
The Tesla CEO also has five children that he shares with ex-wife Justine Musk, and three with Claire Boucher, the musician known as "Grimes." He and Boucher have been engaged in a custody battle over their children.
