Elon Musk makes surprise touchdown in small B.C. town
A small B.C town is buzzing after the world's richest man made an unexpected touchdown this past weekend. Elon Musk, the CEO of X and Tesla and a former White House adviser, landed in Bella Bella on B.C.'s Central Coast on Saturday in a small private aircraft before being flown out by helicopter. He returned to the airstrip on Monday and flew out. Local Seán Carter says the fishing community of about 1,500 people in the Great Bear Rainforest, 470 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, is used to seeing the rich and famous — including members of the Royal Family — pass through to take advantage of the recreational opportunities in the area, but Musk is at another level. "It's not every day the richest man comes through," he said. "That's gonna be a tough one to top." Carter says the common belief is Musk was passing through on his way to a property off the coast owned by James Murdoch, the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. The Globe and Mail reported in 2017 that the younger Murdoch had purchased a property for recreational use off the B.C. coast due to his love of the area. He is also a board member of Tesla, where Musk serves as CEO. CBC News has reached out to Tesla for comment. Musk a Canadian citizen An online service which tracks a private jet belonging to Musk shows the craft landed in Vancouver late Friday night and left Monday afternoon. Those times align with photos provided to CBC News, which show Musk arriving in Bella Coola on Saturday and leaving on Monday. Musk, who was born in South Africa, is a Canadian citizen through his mother, Maye Musk, who was born in Regina. As a teenager, he moved to Canada, where he says he lived and worked in Saskatchewan and Vancouver before studying at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. Earlier this year, he was the subject of a petition calling on the Canadian government to revoke his citizenship due to his role in Trump's White House, as the U.S. president was ramping up rhetoric about using a trade war to make Canada a state. In B.C., Premier David Eby excluded Tesla products from its electric vehicle charger rebate program in response to U.S. tariffs, stating, "It's just for Tesla and it's because of Elon Musk." Multiple Canadian municipalities and government agencies have also been re-evaluating their relationship with X, citing Musk's politics. Meanwhile, many rural communities have signed on to use Musk's satellite internet Starlink service to help provide connectivity in remote areas. Musk has shared differing views on Canada over the years. In 2023, he posted a picture of himself wearing an I Love Canada T-shirt and later that year posted a message stating, "I'm proudly half-Canadian." But in February 2025, in response to the petition to revoke his citizenship, he posted "Canada is not a real country," which he later deleted. Emily Lowan, who is running for the leadership of the B.C. Green Party, shared photos of Musk's arrival in Bella Bella to her social media accounts, writing, "yet another reason to tax billionaires out of existence." In a statement to CBC News, she said the ability of billionaires to build private havens in B.C. while using private jets that fuel the climate crisis is a "stark warning" to governments of the need for action. Carter said there was plenty of debate about Musk over the weekend, but politics aside, having him pass through has been the "talk of the town" in Bella Bella. "No matter what your opinions are of the guy, it was something to follow," he said. And, he said, even though he arrived and left in a private jet, Musk wasn't able to get special treatment at the small-town airport. "It was quite busy, so the plane had to land on one side and the helicopter on the other, so he had to get out and walk a long way," he said. "I'm sure he was hoping to kind of come in and out kind of secretly, but there's definitely no secrets here."

Japanese-French Twin Chefs Bring Kappo Dining to Austin this Fall
Austin Proper Hotel has announced it will open Kappo Kappo, a 25-seat tasting counter that blends Japanese kappo dining with French culinary techniques later this year. The restaurant will be led by twin brothers Haru and Gohei Kishi, who ran the now-closed Proper Sandos by Kishi pop-up in the same space. Designed by Kelly Wearstler and Proper Hotels, the downtown restaurant will feature charred cypress, stone, and warm millwork in a nod to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. At the heart of the concept is kappo, a Japanese style of dining that translates to 'cut and cook.' Guests sit at a counter while chefs prepare and serve each course in real time, a format that emphasizes seasonality, precision, and intimacy. Kappo Kappo's 11-course menu will spotlight wagyu from both Texas and Japan, seafood sourced directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, and produce from local farms. Optional beverage pairings will include sake, wine, beer, and cocktails. The intention was to source all food locally, but the chefs say this isn't possible for certain ingredients, considering the quality they're aiming for. The twin brothers in the kitchen Proper Sandos. Proper Sandos by Kishi 'Seafood from Japan is different — it's more flavorful because the waters around the islands are so nutrient-rich,' Gohei says. 'Rain carries minerals down from the mountains into the sea, and that environment gives the fish an incredible taste.' This is the sort of deep insight into the process that Kappo Kappo will offer diners. The brothers also plan to incorporate omiyage, the Japanese tradition of sending diners home with a small parting gift meant to extend the hospitality of the restaurant. For those unfamiliar with the term, kappo may sound a lot like omakase, but the brothers note that it differs in one key way: intimacy. Rather than leaving everything completely in the chef's hands, guests are invited into the process, able to watch, learn, and interact with chefs as each dish comes together. 'The storytelling component is important,' Haru says. 'When there's meaning behind a dish, it has more impact — it's not just flavor, it's memory.' Born in France to Japanese parents, the brothers say that Kappo Kappo is a natural expression of their upbringing. Gohei pursued a career in Japanese cuisine, while Haru trained in French traditions, including time with Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay. Between them, they bring decades of international experience across Paris, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, Dubai, and Madrid. Outside of the brief Proper Sandos pop-up, this is the first time the two are cooking side-by-side, professionally at least. While Kappo Kappo will mostly focus on Japanese food, the French element will mainly manifest on the menu in the form of classic techniques. The inspiration for Kappo Kappo emanates from the Kishi brothers' childhoods. 'When we were kids, our parents had a ritual called 'on est bien,' which in French means 'we are good' or 'we feel good,'' Haru says. 'For us, it was about having really good food, really good drinks, and being together in a joyful place. That feeling is what we're bringing forward here.'
