Musk clashes with neighbors in exclusive Austin suburb

Elon Musk’s purchase of a $6 million home in 2022 in West Lake Hills, Texas, has sparked backlash from residents after his team installed an unauthorized fence, metal gate, and cameras. Retired Tesla owner Paul Hemmer, who lives nearby and serves as the homeowners’ president, described the security measures as excessive, likening them to Fort Knox. The installation has upset neighbors, who fear increased surveillance and potential legal consequences for the billionaire, whose security team even reportedly filed a false report accusing him of nudity in public.
