A recent breach of Berkshire Hathaway-owned private jet company NetJets has exposed a detailed guide for flight attendants serving Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. The controversial magnate’s private jet lifestyle is revealed in the documents, with insight into Musk’s orders escorting the crew from one jet to another. He’s mostly unconcerned by fuel consumption as he pursues maximum speed and comfort.
Given Musk’s schedule and commitment to maximizing efficiency, it stands to reason that he would want the fastest and most direct flights possible. He’s known for being a no-frills traveler. Fuel saving doesn’t factor into his decisions about which planes to fly. Per the leaked guide, Musk’s ideal cabin temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit because he likes it nice and chilly. This tasteful option provides a cozy atmosphere ideal for sleeping and storing away.
To that point, Musk has expressed a preference for subdued cabin lighting. In fact, this preference is linked to his intense aversion to noise and interruption while flying. He further instructs that the passenger vents be cut off in the documents, eliminating any remaining unintended noise.
Musk’s extreme habit of taking private plane day trips for naps has been well documented. This simple habit underscores his desire to reset. As the head of one of the world’s most innovative companies—whose daily schedule would overwhelm most of us—he has big ideas and even larger aspirations. The guide reveals that unexpected WiFi outages are another source of annoyance for him, indicating his reliance on connectivity during flights.
The information disclosed in the breach provides a unique glimpse into the personal preferences of one of the most influential figures in technology and business.
“He also prefers to keep the cabin at 65 degrees, the lights dim and the passenger vents off because he does not like the noise.” – NetJets Flight Attendant Guide
Despite leading a company that champions sustainability through electric vehicles, Musk’s travel habits on private jets highlight a divergence from these principles when it comes to personal comfort and convenience. As Tesla chief under Musk’s leadership, the company doubles down on green energy ethos. According to leaked documents, these values apparently don’t extend to his choice of air travel.
