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.
