Elon Musk's Gulfstream lands at Moffett the same day SpaceX sells $25 billion in bonds

Elon Musk's Gulfstream G550, tail N272BG, was tracked departing San Francisco International at 9:36 AM local on June 24 and arriving at Moffett Federal Airfield 22 minutes later, a short hop across the bay. The aircraft had been in the Bay Area since at least June 22, per recent flight records.

If Elon Musk was aboard, he would land the same day his company SpaceX sold $25 billion in investment-grade bonds to refinance debt tied to X and xAI, per Bloomberg. The offering, which saw $89 billion in orders, reduces annual interest payments from $1.8 billion to $1.5 billion. The move follows SpaceX's acquisition of xAI in February 2026 and its historic $75 billion IPO earlier this month.

The timing also coincides with Reid Hoffman's public remarks this week calling xAI a "complete train wreck" in an interview with Fortune, and with the Pentagon's Project Maven now using xAI's Grok for targeting — a development that keeps Musk's aircraft shuttling between legal battles, data center disputes, and the corridors of Silicon Valley power.
