The tour below follows reported transactions and descriptions; it does not establish where Musk lives today or offer public access to private homes.
Bel-Air: the 20,248-square-foot mansion
In 2012, the Los Angeles Times reported that Musk paid $17 million for a Bel-Air mansion built in 1990. The paper described a 20,248-square-foot home on 1.7 acres, remodeled with entertaining in mind.
Its reported features included seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms, a two-story library, a theater, a library/study, a wine cellar and a gym. Outdoors, the property had a tennis court, swimming pool and expansive motor court. These are details from the newspaper’s contemporary account, not an independently verified interior inspection.
Bel-Air: four homes sold in 2020
In December 2020, four Bel-Air properties associated with Musk sold to developer Ardie Tavangarian for a reported combined $62 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. Three homes shared a cul-de-sac; a fourth sat downhill.

The largest home in the group
The largest was a 9,309-square-foot modern mansion on 1.5 acres, with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, decks, patios and a swimming pool. The Times described the other two homes in the cul-de-sac group as a smaller Colonial-style house and a single-story residence.
Listings and completed sales are different events
Early 2020 Zillow listings raised questions about whether Musk had personally placed the homes on the market. The Times covered that uncertainty in May; its December report documented the completed sales. The listings should not be treated as the transactions themselves.
Rank #2
The sales followed Musk’s May 2020 post, reproduced by the Times: “I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house.” The four-home transaction is a reported sale, not proof of his present housing arrangements.
The former Gene Wilder house: preservation and a reported return
Musk bought Gene Wilder’s former Bel-Air home in 2013 for a reported $6.75 million, the Los Angeles Times reported in May 2020, when the property was listed for sale. Musk said it could not be demolished or stripped of its character: “It cannot be torn down or lose any its soul.”
Rank #3
The Times later reported that the house sold for $7 million in 2020 to a limited liability company tied to Wilder’s nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman and his wife. Architectural Digest subsequently reported that a trust linked to Musk bought it back in January 2025 for $7.6 million, citing The Wall Street Journal. That later account is attributed reporting; the sources cited here do not provide primary property records.
Texas and reported residences: what is and is not established
Accounts of Musk’s later homes are less settled than the Los Angeles sale reports. They include his own dated statements, publications’ accounts of reported residences, and a denial of a claimed Austin compound. None of these establishes his current residence.
Boca Chica and the Boxabl Casita
Homes & Gardens reproduced a June 9, 2021 post in which Musk said his primary home was a roughly $50,000 house in Boca Chica/Starbase that he rented from SpaceX, and that the only house he owned was an events house in the Bay Area. The publication also quoted a Full Send interview in which Musk said he did not actually stay in the Boxabl Casita, describing it as a place where a friend could stay. These are attributed statements from 2021 and the interview, not current occupancy verification. See Homes & Gardens’ account.
Austin-area reporting and Musk’s denial
Architectural Digest recounts that The New York Times described Austin-area properties and a possible family compound in 2024, as well as a report that Musk moved into a West Lake Hills mansion in 2022. Architectural Digest also reports Musk’s denial to Page Six: “I don’t own nor am I building a compound in Austin,” and “No grand family home has been built or is expected to be built.” These accounts leave the compound claim contested rather than confirmed. Architectural Digest’s overview is available here.
What this property history can—and cannot—tell you
The reported record documents significant Los Angeles properties and notable sale events, but it is not a current home inventory. A purchase, sale, rental statement or reported move refers to a specific property and time; it should not be read as proof of present ownership or occupancy. The sources also do not establish current valuations or that any of these private homes can be visited by the public.
