Billionaire Elon Musk continues to prove he knows no bounds when he decided to treat himself to a new upscale private jet, the $78 million Gulfstream G700, or just over $100 million Canadian, revealed Ostenia news site.

With delivery scheduled for early 2023, the aircraft is expected to have the “largest cabin in history” with a capacity of 19 people.
However, the delivery of the aircraft may be delayed due to the final certification of this new aircraft, which has not yet been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to “Fortune” magazine, the plane is large enough to accommodate five separate living areas, including a six-seater dining room and a bedroom with bathroom. It also has its own wifi system.
The plane also features diurnal lighting that recreates sunrise and sunset to adapt passengers to changes in time zones.
The G700 also has a range of 7,500 nautical miles without refueling, which means it can travel from New York to Tokyo without stopping.
Thus, this new device will replace the 2015 Gulfstream G650 currently owned by the founder of Tesla and SpaceX.
And Elon Musk won’t be the only one shopping for an aircraft since Gulfstream posted 81 orders during the last quarter of 2021, a record for the manufacturer.
