Elon Musk was caught carrying a mysterious woman on a private jet, a Gulfstream G650ER, when they landed at the Los Angeles airport. It was later revealed that the woman was an Australian actress, Natasha Bassett.
As the richest man in the world, it is natural for the bosses of SpaceX and Tesla to have private planes. The Gulfstream G650ER he bought was a luxury aircraft with a price in the range of USD 70 million .
Other rich people like Jeff Bezos also use that type of aircraft. Musk himself reportedly has two planes, but the G650ER is his favorite as his main means of transportation when traveling far.
Quoted by us from The Sun, Elon Musk reportedly has owned the plane since 2016. He traveled from Texas to Isreal, Northern Ireland to California to California to Thailand using the plane.
Equipped with a Rolls Royce BR752 engine, the Gulfstream G650ER Elon Musk has had its interior modified so that there is a more spacious bed. There is a passenger compartment with 4 seats that have a window each.
Behind it there is another room with 5 chairs, usually used for meals or meetings. The cabin has 16 panoramic windows. Each chair has a 32 inch television, power outlet and WiFi facility. It can also be lowered into a bed.
Recently, a student named Jack Sweeney made headlines because he managed the Twitter account @ElonJet. As the name suggests, the account tracks the movement of Elon Musk's private jet using public air traffic data.
According to a Protocol report, Sweeney received a Twitter DM from Musk last fall. In the message, Musk asked Sweeney to delete @ElonJet's Twitter account.
The two kept sending messages, and Musk also had time to ask Sweeney how much money he got from the account. When Sweeney replied that he only earned less than USD 20 per month, Musk then offered USD 5,000 to Sweeney to delete the account.
"I don't want to be shot by crazy people," Musk said. Sweeney then asked Musk to increase his offer to USD 50,000. The 19 -year -old said the money would help him pay for college and buy a car.
Musk then replied that he would consider it. But until now, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla has not contacted Sweeney again.
Although what Sweeney did was not illegal, Musk has every right to be concerned about his privacy and safety. Recently, the 50-year-old man speculated that people who stalked his whereabouts were starting to become a security issue.
