Musk Forecloses on Gene Wilder's Former Home

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is foreclosing on a Los Angeles home sold to filmmaker Jordan Walker-Pearlman and his wife, Elizabeth Hunter, in 2020. The house, previously owned by Walker-Pearlman's uncle, actor Gene Wilder, was sold for $7 million, with Musk providing a $6.7 million loan. The couple, impacted by last year's writers' and actors' strikes, fell behind on payments, prompting Musk's representatives to file a notice of default in July. Despite the situation, Walker-Pearlman expressed gratitude towards Musk, noting there is no ill-will, and the couple has listed the house for $12.95 million. Musk had emphasized that the property's original character must be preserved. This foreclosure follows Musk's broader real estate divestment, including the sale of his last residential property in Hillsborough, California.
