Neighbors’ complaints bring the tech titan’s mansion to the attention of West Lake Hills City Council, which OKs changes and variances to city

AUSTIN, Texas — After various disputes with neighbors, Elon Musk has gotten his way in West Lake Hills. According to KVUE's media partners at the Austin American-Statesman, the affluent Austin suburb approved four variances after code-violating improvements the billionaire made to his $6.24 million mansion led to protests from nearby residents.

Musk was approved to keep the fencing and gates at his home in a vote by the West Lake Hills City Council on Wednesday, following backlash from neighbors who pointed out city ordinance violations. But Musk will have to change the enclosures and ensure they're in compliance with local rules.
