Elon Musk Refutes Claims He's Building An Airport In Texas

UPDATE: Elon Musk has refuted reports that claim he's building a private airport outside of Austin for his private jets. In a tweet to MySanAntonio, the Tesla CEO said, "Not true. Tesla is 5 mins from Austin International airport. Would be silly to build another private airport, however the existing commercial airport needs another runway, as Austin is growing fast!"

Elon Musk is reportedly bringing another huge development to Texas.

The Tesla CEO is planning on building a private airport outside of Austin, according to a report from Austonia. It's still unknown where exactly it will be located and when construction will begin, sources said. It's also still unclear how much land would be needed for Musk's private airport.

The new private airport would allow for private jet travel for Musk and his executives from nearby local companies, Tesla, SpaceX and The Boring Company. The airport, however, would need several federal approvals including environmental impacts and the FAA.

Austonia reported that Musk visits Austin on a 2015 Gulfstream G650 private jet. He's also placed an order for another private jet that's expected to be delivered next year.

In recent Elon Musk news, he was sued by Twitter after he tried to back out of the $44 billion deal to buy the social media company.
