According to Fortune, even in the face of a crisis that may require laying off 10% of Tesla’s workforce, Elon Musk is still willing to spend a massive amount to acquire a brand-new Gulfstream G700 private jet, estimated to be worth at least $78 million (over 1.8 trillion VND).
According to Austonia, a news outlet from Austin, Texas—where Tesla’s headquarters is located—the aircraft is expected to be delivered to the billionaire early next year. However, this schedule may be slightly delayed due to licensing issues for the new type of aircraft from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The G700 is the latest flagship aircraft from Gulfstream.
This new aircraft will replace another flagship jet that Musk is currently using—the 2015 Gulfstream G650. With this new aircraft, Musk can confidently show off to Jeff Bezos, especially after Bezos made headlines with his half-billion-dollar yacht, which was so large it required the dismantling of an old bridge in the Netherlands for its launch.
The G700 is Gulfstream’s latest flagship aircraft, measuring over 17 meters in length and capable of flying nearly 14,000 kilometers—a distance so great that pilots must account for the curvature of the Earth.

The jet features one of the largest cabins among private aircraft. Although it is a narrow-body aircraft with a single aisle, it still accommodates five separate living areas, including a dining room for six and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
The spacious dining room can seat six guests.
The luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report even suggested that the lavish interior of this aircraft could make you forget your favorite five-star hotel.
At the front, designers have adorned the dining area with Casablanca marble. The elegant colors and high-quality leather upholstery give the bar a sophisticated and refined appearance without compromising openness and functionality.

The sleeping area of the Gulfstream G700 is also one of the company’s pride.
However, the real standout feature is the over 3-meter-long table and the stainless steel sink, providing luxurious space along with a large refrigerator, extensive storage, an oven, and a microwave. This may be the first private jet where the owner can bring a chef onboard for in-flight service.
But that’s not all; it also boasts biological clock technology, with thousands of LED lights to simulate natural light, helping billionaires avoid jet lag on long flights.
