To be fair, I suppose the poverty line is a matter of personal judgment.
Mr Must squeaks by having only four jets. Three Gulfstream and one Dassault. Through a holding company, of course. All for pressing valid business purposes, no doubt,
And the multiplicity itself is for valid privacy reasons, of course.
In 2020, a 19-year-old college student named Jack Sweeney built a Twitter bot that tracked Elon Musk’s private jet using publicly available flight data and posted its location in real time. Musk noticed. He sent Sweeney a direct message offering $5,000 to take the account down, citing security concerns. Sweeney countered with $50,000, or a Tesla Model 3. Musk went quiet. Two years later, Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter. Among his first acts as owner: banning the account, suspending all 30 of Sweeney’s associated profiles, threatening a lawsuit, and temporarily suspending the journalists who reported on the ban. The @ElonJet saga is the defining story of celebrity private jet culture in the modern era, and it all started with a single Gulfstream tail number: N628TS.
A person can have a lot of life difficulties living below the poverty line.
