Elon Musk is planning to build his own private airport in Texas, multiple sources told Austonia.
The local publication cited individuals who said that plans for an airport east of Austin, near Bastrop, had been confirmed although the exact location and timetable were unknown.
Musk has based several of his companies, including SpaceX and the Boring Company, in Texas, and moved his Tesla HQ from Silicon Valley to Texas in December. The airport could be used to service and develop these operations.
Musk and his companies own thousands of acres of land in central Texas, including 2,100 acres for Giga Texas, while SpaceX and the Boring Company have also been acquiring land in recent years.
