Elon Musk made a surprise appearance at Boeing Co.’s military aircraft facility in San Antonio, Texas, just before 3 p.m. on Dec. 18. The billionaire tasked by U.S. President Donald Trump to streamline government operations visited the site to inspect the next version of Air Force One. However, the jet is years behind schedule and over budget, leading to growing concerns for Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg. The delay has added significant financial pressure and complexity to the program. Musk’s visit underscores the ongoing struggles with meeting deadlines and managing costs on this iconic presidential jet.
