Elon Musk continues his California firesale: Tesla chief offloads another three more properties in single Bel Air cul-de-sac for $40.9million - as he continues his exodus to Texas in protest at Golden State lockdowns

Elon Musk has sold three more homes in Los Angeles' ritzy Bel Air neighborhood, following through with his vow earlier this year to 'own no house'. 

The three neighboring properties on an exclusive cul-de-sac, which sold for a combined $40.9 million, all closed between December 21 and 22, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The identity of the buyer wasn't immediately clear, although in July DailyMail.com reported that a letter of intent to buy two of the properties was signed by Arya Chalon, LLC, a new entity led by prolific mega-mansion developer and designer Ardie Tavangarian.

After Musk tweeted in May that he planned to sell off his earthly possessions, the Tesla billionaire quickly listed a total of seven California mansions for sale, six of them closely adjacent in exclusive Bel Air.

In the same Bel Air neighborhood, Musk also listed three other homes for sale this year. 

He sold one of them, the former home of late Willy Wonka actor Gene Wilder, to Wilder's own nephew for $7 million in an off-market deal.

Musk had purchased the Wilder house in November 2013 for $6.75 million and turned the property into a private school.

During his May 1 Twitter rant, Musk said he would only sell the home with certain conditions. 'Just one stipulation on sale: I own Gene Wilder's old house. It cannot be torn down or lose any its soul,' Musk said.  

The second home Musk listed on May 4 was this residence. It was listed for $9.5million and used to be owned by late Willy Wonka actor Gene Wilder, who died in 2016

Earlier this year, Musk also sold his largest Bel Air property to Chinese billionaire 'William' Ding Lei for $29 million in cash.

The sale price was $12 million more than he paid for the property less than eight years ago, back in late 2012.

The 16,000 square-foot mansion has seven bedrooms and 11 baths, and offers sweeping views out over LA, to the Pacific and Catalina Island. 

The home also has a swimming pool with inset spa, several alfresco dining patios, and four-car garage. 

Musk's sixth Bel Air mansion was listed for sale at $62.5 million in May, but the listing was removed last month. It was not immediately clear if the home had sold.  

The billionaire also listed a seventh California mansion for sale in Hillsborough, near his Fremont plant.

In May, Musk assured his followers that the selling of his possessions was not financially motivated. 

'Don't need the cash. Devoting myself to Mars and Earth. Possession just weigh you down,' Musk tweeted. 

Aside from listing his properties, Musk has frequently complained about the lockdown restrictions in California. 

The billionaire reopened his Fremont, California, plant in defiance of county orders. 

He later revealed that he had gotten a Texas drivers' license and planned to relocate to the state.
