  • Musk putting the homes up for sale followed an active weekend on Twitter by the Tesla CEO aimed at the company's stock and standing shelter-in-place orders

Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has put two of his Los Angeles mansions up for sale days after saying on social media he planned on selling most of his possessions.

Musk’s two homes were posted Monday on property website Zillow and are both located in the upscale Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles. The larger of the two was listed for sale at $30 million, while the second was listed for sale at $9.5 million.

Musk’s larger mansion was built in 1990 and has been "extensively remodeled." The lavish seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom home comes with a wine cellar, theater, tennis court, multi-story library, a five-car garage, and much more. The estate overlooks the Bel-Air Country Club.

The smaller home is a ranch-style home that had previously belonged to the late film star Gene Wilder. It is located along the Bel-Air Country Club’s gold course’s 13th and 14th holes and comes with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private pool, and a guest cottage.

Musk tweeted on Friday that anyone who buys the second home cannot change it in any way because of “its soul.”

Before putting the homes up on Zillow, Musk had tweeted that Tesla’s stock prices had gotten too high.

It was in response to Tesla’s latest financial report, which showed the company closed the first financial quarter on a profit and caused the stock value to rise. However, Musk’s tweet led to an almost immediate downturn as Tesla shares dropped 12% by 12 p.m. on Friday and ended the day down 10.3% from where it started.

Musk followed those tweets with more posts appearing to take aim at the shelter-in-place orders imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic. He demanded people have their “FREEDOM” returned and posted lyrics from the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
