Elon Musk's Gulfstream G800 arrives in Jackson Hole after a day of cross-country flying

Elon Musk's Gulfstream G800, tail N8628, was tracked flying from San Jose's Mineta International Airport to a landing near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on the evening of June 27, a 93-minute hop according to flight data. The aircraft touched down just before 5 p.m. local time after departing Silicon Valley.

Should the world's richest person have been aboard, the destination is a familiar one for the billionaire, who has previously visited the mountain resort for skiing and private gatherings. The arrival comes the same week that xAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company, suffered its second legal defeat to OpenAI in a month, per celebplanes, and as the Trump administration's Department of Justice intervened to defend xAI's unpermitted gas turbines in Mississippi, as reported by Electrek—a pair of entanglements that make a secluded retreat plausible.

The flight to Jackson was part of a busy day for Musk's newest jet: earlier on June 27, N8628 had flown from the Austin area to Shannon, Ireland, and from Los Angeles to San Jose, suggesting a multi-leg itinerary that may have involved transatlantic travel before heading to Wyoming.
