Stunning aerial photos offer a detailed look at Elon Musk’s sprawling $85million compound in Los Angeles – including two homes that are now on the market after the Tesla CEO vowed to sell his physical assets.
Musk spent the past seven years building a mini real estate empire in the celebrity enclave of Bel Air by snapping up six properties in walking distance from each other.
The homes, which range in value from $3.2million to $30million, are located on two adjacent streets – at one point prompting rumors that Musk planned to build a connective tunnel system beneath them.
But now, Musk is making moves to disband the property cluster.
The eccentric entrepreneur, who according to Forbes is worth more than $38billion, indicated that he planned to put the homes on the market in a bizarre Twitter rant on Friday, writing: ‘I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no home.’
In the same rant Musk declared that Tesla’s stock price was ‘too high’ – causing the companies shares to plummet almost 11 percent and erasing around $13million from its market value, including nearly $3million from the CEO’s stake.
On Monday it was revealed that Musk had put two of the Bel Air homes up for sale for a combined $39.5million.

The first home for sale is Musk’s lower Bel Air estate that overlooks the Bel Air Country Club.
The residence, which was purchased by Musk in 2012 for $17million, has been listed for $30million on Zillow.
The 16,251-square-foot mansion boasts six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a two-story library, swimming pool, and a tennis court.
It also features a gym, pool, a wine cellar, fruit orchard and a five-car garage.
The second home has been listed for $9.5million and used to be owned by the late Willy Wonka actor, Gene Wilder, who died in 2016.
It features five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, an oval pool and a private guest cottage.
In November 2013, Musk purchased the three-quarter-acre Bel Air home for $6.75million. Musk has since turned the property into a private school.
In one of his Friday tweets, Musk said he would sell the home with certain conditions.
‘Just one stipulation on sale: I own Gene Wilder’s old house. It cannot be torn down or lose any its soul,’ Musk said.

In total, he has spent more than $100million for seven properties since 2012, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Musk bought two homes in 2015: a ranch house for $4.3million and $20million mansion.
