Elon Musk's JetLanded in London, England, GB. Apx flt. time 9 Hours : 28 Mins
OMG✔️Flight Fuel Info
~ 4,731 gallons (21,481 liters).
~ 32,052 lbs (14,424 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $28,389 cost of fuel.
~ 51 tons of CO2 emissions.
Ozwobbly@elonjet out of curiosity what do the annual emissions look like?
Matt🙃@elonjet
I was curious and apparently that flight alone is >3x what an average American emits yearly.

dalue@zzarana @mattmp @elonjet You can calculate emissions for every commercial here: https://www.atmosfair.de/en/offset/flight/

JayBlue@elonjet I drive an EV, but my old farm tractor takes gasoline. I always feel a little guilty about buying 20-30 gallons of gas each year to fuel my tractor. Meanwhile, billionaires are doing this multiple times per week. Ugh...

Rui Malheiro@chromatic @JayBlue @elonjet exactly, and we, including you, are part of the group destroying this planet. Elon is flying a Jet, you may own a car and drive it when you could use a bike, we buy stuff we don't need and eat food from far away and heat/cool our houses unecessary.
„But a Jet is 10,000 times as bad.“ Yes. 🤬
But we are 100,000 as many.
And for every you and me pointing fingers at Elon & Co. there are 10 humans that could point a finger at you and me. And they should!
Picture this. 10 Humans from around the globe showing you, how we destroy their lives. Then you just turn around at somebody doing the same shit, just more of it...
@chromatic @bastian @elonjet All valid points, IMO. I believe what separates many of us from the masses, though, is that we're concerned and actively trying to manage and reduce our impact every day. I'm trying to use my limited resources to switch to electric cars, install solar power, preserve habitat, etc, and to support organizations that enable others to do the same. If the hundreds of thousands in my economic class start thinking and acting similarly, it would make a huge positive impact. It only makes it harder to convince them to make these changes when the most "successful" members of society are consuming resources at rates comparable to small cities.
@JayBlue @chromatic @elonjet true. But if you are doing what you are saying, you already make an impact and lead by example — worst case you show, that it is possible and take the fear of change away, at least a bit.

Ariaflame@ariaflame @elonjet That's the plan! Also, my tractor was built in 1949, so operating it is almost like recycling at this point. :)

Joan Mastodon@elonjet 51 Tonnen CO2. Da muss ich lange sparen, bis das kompensiert ist.
Wir können uns die Reichen nicht mehr leisten.
Fluchtkapsel@meta_physik @elonjet Er sollte wirklich mehr auf Home-Office setzen.
philippe baudelot@elonjet eat the rich
Dave Stapleton@elonjet Luton airport, probably a refueling stop. Anyone who's anyone worried about assassination attempts would never land at Luton.
@BendsMusic @elonjet just the odd dodgy curry
Joseph Tesfaye@elonjet Jeez the so called clean energy company…
Reed Hampton@elonjet petition that you add number of teslas these flights negated in CO2 emissions as a metric 😂

Napkin math incoming...
According to https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/01/14/heres-how-much-gasoline-the-average-american-consu.aspx
the avg American uses 1.8 ga per day
divide the jet fuel by 1.8 to get the number of drivers needed to offset the flight in one day.
2,628 drivers

@reed_hampton @elonjet Using the numbers I see, it would look something like this (US stats):
- Average miles driven per year: 14k
- Average MPG: 25
- Equates to 560 gallons of gas per year
- 20 lbs of CO2 per gallon, so 11,200 lbs of CO2 per year of driving a gas car
- Average consumption of a Tesla Model 3 (being generous and using the most efficient model): 3.9 miles per kWh
- 14k miles consumes 3589 kWh of electricity
- Average CO2 per kWh of US electric production is 0.855 lbs
- So average Tesla produces 3069 lbs of CO2 per year
- Putting it together, a Tesla produces 8131 lbs LESS CO2 per year than an average gas car.
- So take the flight data and divide it by 8131 lbs to determine how many Teslas Elon needs to sell to counter that flight's emissions this year.
Feel free to double check my math.
@reed_hampton @elonjet Adding to say that's 3.7 metric tons of CO2.
So in this specific example, Elon needs to sell 13.8 Teslas to negate the 51 tons of CO2 he used for this one flight.
Helmar Dürrlein@JayBlue @reed_hampton @elonjet Multiply it buy the number of flights he does per year, add the CO2 produced by his excessive lifestyle in general and the consumption of his entourage.
GlenG🌻 - Support Ukraine@elonjet Ok, so I just got it. The whole jet tracking thing is really about Musk not wanting anyone to know how wasteful and damaging his flights are to the environment because he’s trying to be the new Environmentally Friendly guy.

ZZ Bottom
Lloydian@elonjet So how many electric cars do you have to sell to offset 51 tons of CO2 emissions?
@HelmarDuerrlein @elonjet I understand your note but would argue that a mile driven with an electric car is a mile not driven with an ICE vehicle.
Esme Ciredutemps@elonjet j'ai regardé. J'ai pris le train pour éviter de cramer 120kg de CO2
Pfffff
Pfffff
Manfred Lange (he/him)@elonjet The biggest threat here is possibly the one to the environment caused by burning all that fuel ... 😂
BlueTurtle
Max@elonjet I saved 218kg co2 with my last trip with a train. 🫠
anlomedadJack, could you add the CO2 info from Elon's Jet to the top toot,
with the date?
And could you also add a distinct hashtag? Only with a distinct hashtag is it searchable in the fediverse and can potentially be used at some stage for generating CO2 stats by someone other than the bot account.
Fedisearch is different than Twotter search:
you can only search your own posts, posts by others you had boosted or faved, and hashtags.
Thank you so, so much!
@anlomedad_real
I was going to suggest the same. Using a tag like #FlightFuelInfo would also allow people to filter just that on their timelines.
Also, could you add origin, destination and distance travelled to this summary?
@elonjet @JxckS
Ah, very good addition.
But I guess, Jack won't read all his gazillion replies. We'd have to contact him through a different channel. And we should. Because this is very valuable info to raise awareness.
Would you contact Jack some other way and ask for bot code change?
Darryl Collins 🚴🏻@elonjet let's just ban private aircraft.

Aitagalaretka@elonjet can't Starlink gift a phone to poor Elon? He's going to get sick with so many travel!

Mark Holtom (aka Kingbeard)As an estimate, Elon's aviation fuel cost him $8 a gallon. Wouldn't it be great if avaition fuel was taxed so that it cost $80 a gallon (for non-commercial plane usage).
This means that his flight would have cost $283,890, which would go a long way to paying for the damage he has created with tis flight.
Elon can afford it.
nich 🇺🇦🍉🦝@elonjet please bring @putinjet here 🙏
Neil A. Evans@elonjet 51 tons of carbon emissions. Insane. #climatecriminal
8lettersuk@NeilEvansRocks @elonjet this is the main reason he's upset about the tracker. For years he's pretended to be a green entrepreneur. The media colluded with him.
@8lettersuk @elonjet private jets should absolutely be banned, I love flying, I’d love to have a GA license, but flying a private jet is insanely damaging, billionaires should be held accountable and responsible for their carbon footprint.

Elon Musk is one of the biggest energy wasters and environmental polluters of all time.
Even his smaller business ideas like the flamethrower, pollute the environment enormously with Co2.

Mazza@elonjet how about a solar powered jet plane Elon?
@elonjet haha sehr gut 👍
Brian Hawthorne@elonjet Ban private jets. Why should we let any individual dump 51 tons of CO2 into our atmosphere just so he can jet around the world? #BanPrivateJets
