Elon Musk houses for sale after pre-baby ‘own no houses’ rant on social media
ELON Musk has put two of his lavish Californian mansions on the market just days after his bizarre Twitter rant about selling off his physical possessions.
The eccentric entrepreneur vowed 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 Twitter rant Musk declared that Tesla’s stock price was “too high” which caused his companies’ shares to plummet almost 11 per cent and erasing around $13million from its market value.
Then on Monday it was revealed that Musk had put two of the Bel Air homes up for sale for a combined $39.5million.
Stunning aerial photos offer a detailed look at the two homes that are now on the market.
Musk spent the past seven years building what can only be described as a mini real estate empire in the celebrity enclave of Bel Air by snapping up six properties within walking distance from each other.
The first home for sale is Musk’s lower Bel Air estate overlooking the Bel Air Country Club which he bought in 2012 for $17million but 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 includes a gym, pool, a wine cellar, fruit orchard and a five-car garage.
The second home, which has been listed for $9.5million, used to be owned by the late Willy Wonka actor, Gene Wilder, who died in 2016.
It has 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.
In one of his Friday tweets, Musk said he would sell the home, but said: “Just one stipulation on sale: I own Gene Wilder’s old house.
“It cannot be torn down or lose any its soul,.”
He also said: “’Don’t need the cash. Devoting myself to Mars and Earth. Possession just weigh you down.”
Despite his Friday Twitter rant, Tesla shares were up 4.5 percent on Monday.
When asked by The Wall Street Journal if the tweets were a joke, Musk replied: “No.”
