Tesla CEO Elon Musk at the company's Cyber Rodeo event in Austin, Texas. SUZANNE CORDEIRO / AFP Elon Musk said Thursday that he's not planning to build a private airport near Austin, Texas. Local news site Austonia reported last week that an airport could help grow his companies in the region. But Musk said that's "not true" and it "would be silly" since Tesla HQ is so close to Austin's airports. Elon Musk said Thursday that he's not building a private airport outside of Austin, Texas. Local Austin news site Austonia reported last week that the Tesla and SpaceX executive was planning on building a new airfield in Bastrop outside of the city, in close proximity to his newly-purchased Boring Company property as well as the Gigafactory site, which he made Tesla's headquarters last year.
