According to numerous sources cited by Austonia, Elon Musk intends to construct his own exclusive airport in Texas. Although the precise location and timeline remained uncertain, the local newspaper reported sources who claimed that plans for an airport east of Austin, close to Bastrop, had been confirmed.
SpaceX and the Boring Company, two of Musk’s businesses, are situated in Texas, and in December, the Tesla headquarters relocated there from Silicon Valley. These operations could be developed and supported by the airport.
In central Texas, Musk and his businesses hold thousands of acres of land, including 2,100 acres for Giga Texas. In recent years, SpaceX and the Boring Company have also been buying land.
The size of the airport is unknown, despite the fact that the neighbouring Austin Executive Airport covers 585 acres.
Elon Musk boasted in a speech following the opening of Giga Texas that it was only a 10-minute drive from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
As the business speeds up production at his gigafactory there, which he recently referred to as a “big money furnace,” Musk is spending more time in Texas.
Musk, who flies a Gulfstream G650ER, was reportedly preparing to upgrade to the G700, which has a base price of $78 million, according to Austonia last month.
The FAA must approve the construction of a private airport and the project must meet the organization’s environmental requirements.
Although Bastrop council and its economic development organisation informed Insider they were not yet aware of any plans, local laws might also apply.
