Elon Musk’s Private Jet Touches Down in B.C.
Elon Musk’s private jet drew attention over the weekend as it landed in Bella Bella, B.C. The billionaire entrepreneur, alongside his son, arrived on Saturday before boarding a helicopter headed toward the Bella Coola region. The flight tracker elonjet.net confirmed the jet’s movements from San Jose to Vancouver and then onward to Bella Bella.
Journey from California to Canada
The trip began Friday when Musk’s jet departed San Jose, California, and arrived in Vancouver. By Saturday, Musk and one of his sons touched down at a small airstrip near Bella Bella, a First Nations fishing community on B.C.’s central coast. From there, the pair switched to a helicopter bound for the remote Nascall Bay.

Nascall Bay, located about 50 kilometers northwest of Bella Coola, is home to an expansive property owned by media heir James Murdoch. The property includes the natural Nascall Hot Springs and is a popular private retreat. Murdoch, who serves on Tesla’s board, is also part of one of the wealthiest families in the world.
