SpaceX CEO Elon Musk speaks at a press conference at SpaceX headquarters where he announced the Japanese billionaire chosen by the company to fly around the moon, on September 17, 2018 in Hawthorne, California. If the project is successful Yusaka Maezawa would become the first private citizen to fly around the moon.

As of writing, the tech CEO is still facing various issues because of his billion-dollar Twitter purchase.

These include the massive layoffs, as well as his free-speech approach for the social media platform.

But, it seems like the billionaire still has some time to buy a new private jet that would replace his current G650ER jet.

Elon Musk Orders New Private Jet?

These stickers were reportedly ordered by Elon for his new private jet; a Gulfstream G700.

"Old Elongated Muskrat is buying a new G700 because he's tired of that guy on Twitter tracking the flights of his 650. My manager was f***ing giddy making these for him," said the staff, who is still not identified.

Elon, as well as Gulfstream, an aerospace corporation, didn't comment on the alleged private jet purchase.

Aside from his current G650R, Musk also owns two Gulfstream G550s. These jets are registered to the Falcon Landing LLC which is tied to SpaceX.

Gulfstream G700's Price and Other Details

If Elon Musk's alleged Gulfstream G700 purchase is true, then the billionaire will likely spend around $78 million just to buy one unit. 

Well, this price is reasonable since this jet model offers advanced features, such as the all-new high-thrust Rolls Royce engines. 

The luxurious Gulfstream G700 is also integrated with the award-winning Symmetry Flight Deck. 

When it comes to speed, this private jet can be as fast as the speed of sound (specifically Mach 0.925). It also has a maximum range of 13,890 km. 

One of its most-boasted features is the cabin, which Gulfstream claims to be the most spacious one in the industry. 

While the private jet purchase is not yet confirmed, other speculations about the billionaire are still appearing. 

These include his talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which Elon Musk denied. 

Rumors about Amber Heard hiding from Elon Musk also appeared after the actress deactivated her Twitter account.
