The many actions of the world's richest man Elon Musk have always been closely watched, and recently his secret purchase of three luxury homes in Austin, Texas has sparked a lot of discussion. This matter not only involves the situation of the property itself, but is also closely related to various factors such as Musk's family planning, business considerations, and local environment. The relevant details and underlying reasons are worth exploring in depth.

1、 Elon Musk's Property Purchase Overview

（1） Real estate purchase situation

According to news on October 30th, Elon Musk was recently revealed to have secretly purchased three luxury homes in Austin, Texas. According to informed sources, this purchase is mainly for his children and their mothers. Among these three properties, two are adjacent, and the third one is only a ten minute walk from the first two. The layout is relatively concentrated and seems to have the intention of creating a family courtyard.

（2） Real estate specific information

One of the luxury homes covers an area of 14400 square feet (approximately 1337.8 square meters), presenting a unique style similar to a Tuscan (Italian countryside style) villa. The other one is a six bedroom mansion, purchased with the assistance of Musk. The total value of these two properties is about 35 million US dollars, which seems insignificant compared to Musk's strong assets with a book value of 272 billion US dollars.

The third mansion is speculated to be Musk's personal residence.

2、 The family and business factors behind purchasing real estate

（1） Family Planning Intent

Insiders say that Musk has been committed to creating the concept of a 'big family'. He recently revealed to people around him that he hopes his dozen or so children and two of his mothers can live together, forming a family courtyard like living model, in order to create a family atmosphere and achieve the vision of family reunion.

However, the reality is that among Musk's children, Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis has moved into one of the properties with her three children. But musician Grimes, as the mother of three other children, is competing with Musk for custody of the children. Moreover, Musk's first wife Justine Musk and her five children do not seem to have moved into these properties, and the family's occupancy situation is quite complicated.

（2） Connection with business

The plan for this family courtyard is not solely based on personal family considerations, but is closely related to the "survival anxiety" of Musk's business empire. Musk has his own obsession with birth rates and human reproduction, which may have influenced his decisions to create specific living environments for families to some extent, and may also have some inherent connection with his long-term business development plans.

3、 Musk's political support behavior and related impacts

Musk is not only busy in the business field, but also actively involved in political affairs. He runs almost six companies, but still finds time to support Trump and the Republican Party. It is reported that he even distributes $1 million daily to those who sign petitions supporting the First and Second Amendments, and directly donates $132 million to support Trump, demonstrating his political support.

4、 Reasons and related information for choosing to buy a house in Austin

（1） Geographical location factors of the company

The primary reason why Musk chose to buy a house in Austin is that many of his companies are located in or near Austin. In fact, Musk has become one of Austin's largest employers. Austin is known as the "Silicon Mountain" due to its expanding technology industry, and in the eyes of some Californians, it is seen as a city that wants to become Silicon Valley. The development trend of the technology industry is good, which makes Austin extremely convenient for Musk in terms of geographical location.

（2） Purchase price and special requirements

Although the average house price in Austin is about $526000, Musk clearly doesn't care about these price factors. According to insiders, Musk has offered some homeowners 20% to 70% higher than the market price, and his high bids are remarkable. Moreover, some homeowners are even required to sign a confidentiality agreement in order to view the quotation, making the purchasing process quite unique.

5、 Zeng Youjian Family Courtyard Plan and Current Situation

Insiders also revealed that Musk had planned to build a family compound on hundreds of acres of land near Tesla headquarters in the outskirts of Austin, which he and his company own. However, after an investigation by the federal government, this plan seems to have been halted. Previously, there were reports that federal prosecutors were investigating whether Tesla used company funds for a secret project described as the "CEO Residence," which may have been one of the reasons for the plan being halted.

6、 Real estate occupancy and community situation

It is currently unclear which specific family members will ultimately live in these newly purchased properties. So far, only Hivon Zilis has been found living there. Neighbors said they can determine when Musk will visit because security measures will be significantly strengthened at that time. According to reports, the community where Musk purchased the property is densely populated and lacks access control facilities, and the community environment and occupancy situation exhibit certain characteristics.

The purchase of property by Musk in Austin involves various factors and circumstances, with intertwined considerations of family, business, politics, and other factors. The future use of these properties and the development of related situations still need further observation.
