IT House reported on May 9 that Twitter account ElonJet released a flight map of Musk taking off from San Jose, California, and landing in San Francisco in a jet plane. The 49.8-kilometer journey, which only took 9 minutes to fly, was accused by many netizens of being a wasted trip that ran counter to Musk's environmental goals.
One Twitter user said musk marketed Tesla as an eco-friendly company while flying a short distance in a private jet, causing more pollution than a car would cause in a year.
Flying in a private jet isn't a bad thing, but the impact of flying in a private jet as an environmental champion will certainly be magnified by the shorter and closer flight times of corporate leaders who fly in private jets.
Because using Tesla to travel a short distance of 49.8 kilometers will reduce the environmental impact, but it will waste time on travel, and time is especially valuable for billionaire Musk. Flying there will be harm to the environment, and netizens will also think that Musk may not be as environmentally friendly as claimed.
IT Home learned that before Musk bought Twitter, the Twitter account ElonJet was dissatisfied with Musk because the account tracked Musk's private jet movements and automatically posted to Twitter, Musk had hoped to deactivate the account by paying the account owner Sweeney $5,000, but asked in his Twitter DM with Musk: "Is it possible to raise it to fifty thousand dollars?" And maybe get me a car, or even a Model 3. ”
But Musk responded: "It is not appropriate to pay to close the account." Sweeney said that if Musk did not want to pay, he would delete his account in exchange for an internship at Tesla, but Musk did not reply again and blocked him.
