BURST
The world’s richest man flew into Bella Bella on Saturday before hopping in a helicopter believed to be bound for a private resort complex owned by media heir James Murdoch near Bella Coola.
Elon Musk’s private jet arrived in Vancouver on Friday, according to the account elonjet.net on social media platform Bluesky, after departing San Jose, California earlier in the day.
On Saturday, Musk and one of his sons landed by plane at a small airport just north of Bella Bella, a small First Nations fishing community on B.C.’s central coast. They then boarded a helicopter likely en route to Nascall Bay where Murdoch — who is also a board member of Tesla — owns a large property that includes the Nascall Hot Springs. Nascall Bay is 50km northwest of Bella Coola.
A photo of Musk disembarking a helicopter on Monday with his son in Bella Bella was provided to the CBC, which reported the event .
While Musk’s net worth of US$413 billion makes him the richest man in the world, Murdoch and his family check in on the list at No. 90 with a net worth of US$24 billion.
According to elonjet.net, Musk’s private jet left Vancouver on Monday afternoon.
While Musk is well-known to be South African, he also holds Canadian citizenship through his mother, Regina-born Maye Musk, and spent time in both Saskatchewan and Vancouver as a youth.
Vancouver-born musician Grimes has three children with Musk.
