Elon Musk has been posing as essentially homeless since 2020, when he publicly pledged that he would henceforth “own no house” and began offloading his various properties. As recently as April 2022, the billionaire Tesla founder claimed in an interview that he was couch surfing and didn’t “even own a place right now.”
But a Business Insider review of court records in his custody dispute with his former girlfriend Grimes reveals that by that time, Musk had made a quiet U-turn in his nomadic sojourn and purchased a home in Austin.
In redacted court filings from December, Musk said he purchased the home in February 2022 and that he still lives there.
“In February 2022 I bought the home on [redacted] where [redacted] and I still live,” the complaint says, adding that Grimes and their children lived with him in the house from April to August 2023. The filing says Musk purchased the home after the address of a house he had been renting became public knowledge and “was no longer private and secure for my family.”
Musk understandably withheld the address of the new property he bought, so all we know about the house from his public filings is that he purchased it in February 2022 and lived there as of December 2023. But Grimes’ attorneys were less discreet in their filings, revealing an Austin location described as Musk’s “self-reported residential address.”
The house at that address was purchased by an LLC in February 2022 — the same month that Musk says he purchased the house — according to the deed for the property. The LLC was created shortly before the house was purchased and is overseen by a wealth-management company, according to records on file with the Texas Secretary of State. Musk and the manager of the LLC did not respond to a request for comment.
