Musk's Jet-Setting Lifestyle: Shortest Trip Lasted For 6 Minutes, He Made 134 Flights In 2022

Jack Sweeney, the student tracking billionaire Elon Musk's private jet on Twitter, shared that Musk's jet made 134 flights in total in 2022, with the shortest being six minutes long and the longest lasting for 12 hours and 20 minutes. 

Sweeney has compiled the figures for the billionaire's Gulfstream G650ER, whose call sign is N628TS. 

According to the data, the longest distance was from Mykonos, Greece to Austin, Texas, on July 18. The shortest flight was about six minutes, with the jet remaining at Long Beach Airport. The movement may have been the aircraft being repositioned, according to Insider.

Musk's foreign trips included Brazil, France, Italy, Greece, Norway, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Qatar. While his U.S. destinations included Los Angeles, Austin, Brownsville, San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland.

Data shows that 134 flights emitted 1,895 tons of carbon dioxide, and 557,711 kg of jet fuel was used. 

Last year, in December, Musk threatened to take legal action against Sweeney for posting his location. Elon Musk said his son X's vehicle was followed by a "crazy stalker" who jumped on the car's hood. 

He said the car carrying X in Los Angeles was followed by a stalker who thought the vehicle contained Musk himself, following Sweeney's report on his whereabouts. 

Twitter later suspended Sweeney's account, who then came up under a new username on the social media site. 

Sweeney had previously said that he was ready to stop tracking Musk's private jet on one condition. 

"If he let me fly with him on his jet, record it and talk about it — and maybe not even pay me the $50,000 [previously asked for] — I would take it down," Sweeney said of the Twitter account dedicated to tracking Musk's aircraft.

Musk had previously offered $5,000 in exchange for Sweeney's tracking account being deleted. The Tesla CEO reportedly told Sweeney in a DM conversation, "I don't love the idea of being shot by a nutcase."
