Naps, cold cabins and fast travel…: 'Stolen' documents reveal 'laid-back' Elon Musk's specific travel needs

Hackers have reportedly leaked Elon Musk’s travel preferences. In stolen documents from Berkshire Hathaway-owned NetJets, hackers have revealed unknown details about the travel preferences of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO that combine high-speed efficiency with laid-back comfort, a report claims. The leaked memo, which is a part of a guide for serving the high-profile client, reveals that Musk insists on flying as fast and directly as possible. As per the memo, he even dismisses fuel conservation and has strict instructions for crew members to avoid small talk unless he initiates it. It further notes that, much like any regular traveler, he expects uninterrupted WiFi and values the ability to take naps during flights.


‘Lights dim and cabin pressure at 65 degrees…’: More details about Musk’s travel preferences leaked


According to a service plan from November 2024 (seen by Bloomberg), Musk likes the cabin at 65 degrees and the lights dim. He also prefers the passenger air vents switched off, as he “does not like the noise” they make, the memo notes.

Despite NetJets declining to confirm the document’s authenticity, the Bloomberg report cited three individuals familiar with the situation who suggested that the company’s flight attendants receive “passenger service plans” similar to Musk’s, which brief them on a traveler's preferences during a flight.

The document specifies that crew members shouldn’t offer any technological help. “Mr. Musk considers himself self-sufficient and does not need help with technology — if he does, he will ask.”

It's important to note that NetJets is currently investigating a breach in which a hacker obtained “limited” information from “a very small number of owners,” the report continues.

The company, which offers shared private aircraft ownership—with some clients being referred to as owners—reported that the attacker successfully “phished” an employee to capture their work account credentials and subsequently used that access to extract additional data from NetJets’ systems last month, the report added.

Previously, Musk banned an account from his social media platform X (earlier Twitter) for tracking his flights.
