Elon Musk is in conflict with Austin residents: Neighbors want to tear down the billionaire's fence!

Elon Musk in dispute with neighbors: Why would a billionaire tear down a high fence around his house?

American billionaire, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk has once again come into the spotlight of the American public. This time, he got into a dispute with the residents of Austin because of the large fence around his newly purchased house. This is reported by The New York Times.

As it turned out, Elon Musk bought a new property in one of the most prestigious areas of Austin, a neighborhood with expensive houses. This $ 6 million house initially did not attract any attention from local residents. However, the situation changed when the new owner of the house began construction work.

It is reported that after Musk bought the house, large-scale work began on the construction of a five-meter-high fence and a huge steel gate around it. Residents of the neighborhood were concerned about this situation and began to complain about the deterioration of the streetscape and the environment.

The problem is that according to the internal rules of the city of Austin, it is strictly forbidden to build fences higher than two meters. However, Musk violated this rule and began construction work without obtaining a permit. Even after the billionaire completed the construction, he applied to the city government to legalize his fence.

However, the Austin city government rejected Musk's request. It was noted that if this request were granted, it could serve as an excuse for many other influential people to circumvent the rules.

Musk's failure to comply with these rules angered local residents. They appealed to the city council and demanded that the fence be immediately demolished.

Not only that, Elon Musk made another appeal, asking not to disclose information about his house in state real estate databases. Musk attributed this request to his alleged status as a federal civil servant and said that he was ready to provide this information only in cases of necessity.

The city government has also rejected this demand, stressing that Musk will not allow any exceptions related to his status.

A special meeting of the Austin City Council is scheduled for the coming days. At this meeting, local residents and city officials will discuss Elon Musk's actions and consider measures such as tearing down the illegal fence or imposing a fine.

It is not yet known how Musk will solve this problem, but one thing is certain: the residents of Austin and the city government are taking this situation seriously. It is once again emphasized that compliance with laws and regulations should be equal for everyone. Even if you are the richest person in the world, this does not give you special privileges, local residents say. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
