Elon Musk’s Texas ‘Fortress’ Angers Upscale Neighbors Over Code Violations

Neighbors complain of round-the-clock noise, a towering fence exceeding legal height limits, and an intrusive watch by Musk’s private guards. The eccentric billionaire, who has 13 children, purchased multiple adjacent properties and allegedly began remodeling without the necessary permits. Attempts to rectify the situation now collide with local officials’ resolve not to grant “special exceptions.”
