@elonjet ~16tons of fuel converts to 50tons of emissions??? 😂

@rh2 @elonjet
Yes ,at first it looks like nonsense. But jet fuel consists of roughly 80 percent carbon. In the combution proces oxygen (which is about three times as heavy as carbon) is added. So you end up with a heavier weight of CO2 than the weight of the jet fuel.
