US EditionA Memphis Community Tells Elon Musk to Stop Polluting Their Neighborhood
- The West Lake Hills City Council will hold a session on May 14 to debate Elon Musk's violations of local zoning rules at his Texas mansion.
- Musk purchased a $6 million, six-bedroom mansion in 2022 and built a 16-foot fence without permits, breaching six city ordinances and sparking neighbor complaints.
- Neighbors, led by Paul Hemmer, complain about Musk's security presence, employee traffic, and surveillance disrupting the quiet cul-de-sac and violating community norms.
- Commissioner Jim Pledger stated, "We'd incentivize people to break the rules," as the planning commission unanimously denied variances for Musk's unauthorized construction.
- Musk risks having to remove or modify the fence and gate to comply with city rules, and he could contest the council's decision or sue the town if denied relief.
