Elon Musk's JetTook off from London, England, GB.
Brian Pierce MD@elonjet Would be interesting to see a bot that calculates his carbon footprint from all this travel.
Stephen Tatton@elonjet @brianpierce check his other posts they are calculated for every leg
GreggHillPAC@brianpierce @elonjet that sounds like a sensible and easy program (easy for someone)
Schrödinger's Prat@notadoctor @brianpierce @elonjet
It's done, e.g., here:
3,263 mile (2,836 NM) flight from DOH to LTN
Flight Fuel Info
~ 3,603 gallons (13,640 liters).
~ 24,150 lbs (10,954 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $22,845 cost of fuel.
~ 38 tons of CO2 emissions. https://mastodon.social/@elonjet/109540895097413018
Albert Hubble@Rhodium103 @notadoctor @brianpierce @elonjet Yea and that is from one flight, that is more than a family of 4 would "produce" normally.

SiliconJets@brianpierce @elonjet It’s very interesting you should mention this, as our account @SiliconJets attempts to calculate predicted carbon footprints not only for Elon Musk’s aircraft but for several other aircraft belonging to major Silicon Valley figures, including Bill Gates & Jeff Bezos. The bot receives ADS-B data every 20 minutes, meaning we may miss the takeoff and landing phases sometimes, but capture the majority/calculated carbon dioxide output per flight.
gunwhale@SiliconJets @brianpierce @elonjet
Great work! For Elon specifically, I'd love to see the carbon cost of his flight vs the carbon savings of Teslas.
For example: Elon's flight from Qatar to London is the equivalent of converting X number of Teslas to ICE vehicles for a year. Would obviously require lots of assumptions and estimates, but I think it could be illuminating.
@elonjet @gunwhale @brianpierce We like your style! It’s difficult, but we’re only 2 days into creating this bot. We’ll definitely add it to our backlog!

@brianpierce The @elonjet bot already calculates the carbon footprint upon landing
NanaKim@elonjet On the way back to his nest perhaps.
Husaria@elonjet had to select his new ceo
Sinjut@elonjet Haha Luton Airport. What a pleb.
John Bell 🇺🇦🇪🇺🔸🕷️🏴perhaps he just enjoys looking at plebs
random thoughts@elonjet If they stuck to that heading for more than a couple of minutes, then he probably got caught by my ADB-S receiver too.
Andrew Singleton@elonjet I will be blunt. While I defend your right to do this, as it is publicly avalible data and I do feel that musk screaming about it makes him look more suspect to the point 'maybe we SHOULD be tracking him,'
I can't help but feel a little creeped out. that said I will still defend you any day of the week.
Plus i find the 'how' kinda facinating.
Process Analyzer 🦅🌈@singletona @elonjet he flies over my house quite often. #Titusville #spacecoast I like knowing when he’s in town.
Zavier@singletona @elonjet Much creepier what Twitter tracks for every user: device info, location info, inferred identity, etc.
Brian Hawthorne@singletona @elonjet It is a social good that we are able to track the locations of giant pieces of metal hurtling through the sky. There is nothing creepy about that at all. If billionaires don’t want us to know where they are, they can stop flying huge carbon-belching jets in our skies.
@bhawthorne @singletona @elonjet Or they can "park" their jet in a company unattached to their name or just hire a jet when ever they like. It really is not hard to fly undeteced at all if you have unlimited money on your side.
MisterStars@elonjet I heard he bought the castle the Beatles all lived in
PeterI still haven't figured out how to do an assassination with this.
sxpert
Steve8282@elonjet So he’ll have time to compose his resignation letter.
Mech0T1@elonjet he's putting Prince Andrew in charge of twitter.
Valerie Curtis@elonjet Hasn’t been tweeting during this flight ✈️ his fans must be anxious 😬 big drama when he’s back
Jón@VLCMDRichie
He doesn't have internet connection on his jet? What a pleb
He doesn't have internet connection on his jet? What a pleb
@jonr Apparently not lol; maybe he’s upset about his visit with the Saudis and the poll
Simon 
@elonjet stretching the definition of London that is 😆
Cadu@elonjet poor guy can't stay put?! :/
Jason 
@elonjet He certainly gets around doesn't he. Must be great to have all that money 💰
@elonjet Dropped off Jared & refueled.

Exiled_Sinners@elonjet I hope he fucks off somewhere a long way away. Very soon.
Gerrarrdus@elonjet that's Luton not really London!
