Elon Musk's Private Jet Travel Rules Included in Hacked Documents

A guide to serving Elon Musk was leaked as part of a cyberattack on private jet company NetJets Inc. that describes him as a “nice, laid-back” person whom crew members must avoid speaking to unless spoken to first.

According to Bloomberg, crew are to refrain from engaging in small talk with the billionaire unless he initiates it. The guide also notes that Musk “does not enjoy unexpected WiFi outages” and “likes to take a nap, even on day trips.”

Crew members were also reminded that Musk is “not interested in conserving fuel,” but rather “wants to fly as quickly and direct” as possible.

The guide, apparently written in November 2024, also states that Musk likes the cabin at 65 degrees, the lights dim, and the passenger air vents switched off as he “does not like noise.” The crew are also advised to avoid offering Musk tech support: According to the document, “Mr. Musk considers himself self-sufficient and does not need help with technology—if he does, he will ask.”

3. I was just thinking about that and came to the conclusion

that he is literally "like a rolling stone". He rolls around from woman to woman (4) dropping babies (now up to 14), but other than accumulating "money" (on paper), doesn't seem to possess much of anything else (he "rents" a house in TX from SpaceX) except the clothes on his back.

But during maintenance periods, he probably uses a NetJets account. Also, it’s far more secure as his airplane can be tracked through ADS-B, while NetJets is anonymous in regard to a passenger manifest.

4. Also per his instructions, at 20,000', he'd like to take a leisurely stroll outside of the cabin.

Remember, he doesn't like to be spoken to so crew members should quietly help him exit as quickly and quietly as possible. Preferably while sleeping.

8. What, no "mile high" stuff. That surprises me, considering the crowds he travels with. How many wives and kids?

Love the direct contradiction in that sentence. News flash Muskrat you useless-stain-of-shit-who-doesn't-even-qualify-to-be-called-animal-let-alone-human ... no "nice, laid-back" person considers crew members so far beneath them that they demand silence from them unless spoken to first. That describes an authoritarian asshole who thinks he's better than everyone else - the polar opposite of nice let alone laid-back!

12. I'm surprised, that all sounds pretty reasonable (except 65F is a bit on the cool side)

I wouldn't mind imposing those rules on everyone around me, 24-7...

Maybe he just considers *everything* as his property, or something.
