New York<\/a> Times claimed that Musk had acquired properties worth a combined $35 million in Austin with the goal of bringing several of his children\u2014and some of their mothers\u2014together in neighboring residences.<\/p>\nAccording to the report, Musk believed having his younger children living close to one another would make it easier for them to develop relationships while also allowing him to divide his time among them.<\/p>\n
Musk denied the report about the compound after it emerged. However, subsequent reporting from the Wall Street Journal once again linked the billionaire to the Austin setup, alleging that his longtime money manager, Jared Birchall, had been involved in acquiring property for the project.<\/p>\n
That report also claimed that Zilis and her four children with Musk were living in the gated community, while Musk spent time there periodically.<\/p>\n
Zilis revealed the breakup in an emotional post shared on X on Oct. 2, claiming that the end of their relationship came suddenly and just days after she and Musk had exchanged loving messages.Google MapsThe 40-year-old, who serves as a director at Musk’s brain-technology company Neuralink, also shared a screenshot of a text exchange that appeared to show just how quickly their relationship changed.YouTube<\/p>\n
Zilis’ own comments earlier this year offered some insight into the family’s living arrangements. While testifying during Musk’s legal battle with OpenAI, she said that she and Musk lived together while traveling and spent family time together in Austin.<\/p>\n
There has been no indication that Zilis plans to leave the Austin community in the wake of their breakup, nor has she publicly addressed whether the split will result in any change to her or her children’s living situation.<\/p>\n
The future of the reported compound itself has long been murky.<\/p>\n
Musk’s former partner Grimes, with whom he shares three children, was also reportedly asked to relocate to the setup but declined. <\/p>\n
Ashley St. Clair, who has said Musk fathered her son Romulus, similarly claimed that the billionaire encouraged her to spend time in Austin.<\/p>\n
Musk’s own housing situation has been similarly complicated over the years.<\/p>\n
Despite her heartbreak, Zilis made clear that she still cares deeply for Musk and hopes they can maintain an amicable relationship as they raise their four young children.Twitter There has been no indication that Zilis plans to leave the Austin community in the wake of their breakup, nor has she publicly addressed whether the split will result in any change to her or her children’s living situation.Chesnot\/Getty Images<\/p>\n
In 2020, the billionaire announced plans to sell off most of his physical possessions and said that he intended to “own no house.” <\/p>\n
The following year, he said his primary residence was a relatively modest property near SpaceX’s Texas operations, which he rented from the company.<\/p>\n
Reports since then, however, have linked him to a much larger collection of properties in Austin.<\/p>\n
Whatever happens with Zilis’ housing arrangement, her breakup announcement suggests that she hopes to preserve a close family relationship with Musk despite the sudden end to their romance.<\/p>\n
Zilis described the home life she and their children created with Musk as a source of stability and happiness for the tech mogul amid his demanding professional life.<\/p>\n
She also emphasized that, despite the pain of the split, their four children remain the most important result of their years together.<\/p>\n
For now, whether the breakup means Zilis will also bid farewell to Musk’s reported Austin compound remains unclear.<\/p>\n
