It's still perfectly understandable if time is of the essence to you, hence you need to jet around quickly in a plane for a 30 minute flight to travel from Fremont to LA (obvious bias here because I fly often between cities).
What's profoundly wasteful is that Musk travels on a full-fledged Gulfstream 650 for such a short distance - and often traveling within hours of each other on that mega jet.
- crote 4y agoIf time is of the essence, you'd just make a Zoom call. This type of corporate air travel is almost entirely status signaling.
- fakedang 4y agoSorry, but there are some functions for which you definitely need to be present. Countless deals are time bound and would not have happened were it not for both parties to be present in the zone. From anecdotal experience, we work with a number of government agencies and corporate partners for some projects, and it's often much easier to get a yes in person than through a BS Zoom call.
