‘Party at E’s house’: Why Elon Musk’s neighbours have had enough
- Elon Musk acquired multiple properties in West Lake Hills, Texas, and transformed the area into a secured compound featuring 16-foot fences, surveillance cameras, and security personnel.
- Neighbors, led by Paul Hemmer, filed complaints due to the estate’s excessive security measures and increased traffic, prompting a unanimous April 2025 planning commission ruling against Musk’s variances.
- Hemmer described the estate as 'Fort Knox' and protested ongoing harassment, fence height violations, and a security operation disrupting the quiet neighborhood.
- City officials found the fence 10 feet taller than permitted and identified violations of six ordinances, while Musk argued the measures responded to security threats.
- The case is set for a decision by the West Lake Hills municipal government in mid-May 2025, which could significantly impact the future of the estate amid ongoing conflicts between privacy concerns and local zoning rules.
