Elon Musk will own the world's largest business jet Gulfstream G700 worth $78 million

Against the background of the whole epic with the purchase of Twitter and the firing of employees, the approaching purchase of the Gulfstream G700 aircraft by Elon Musk was overlooked.

Here's What We Know

The American billionaire, who is the richest man in the world, has placed an order for a G700 business jet. The cost is $78 million. It will probably replace the current Gulfstream G650ER aircraft with a "mileage" of more than 240,000 km.

Elon Musk is expected to have the business jet at his disposal in early 2023. However, delivery may be delayed by 3-6 months due to the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be checking the software.
