The controversial supereyate with which Zuckerberg has turned the world into his playground
The 40 crisis is not a myth. Some studies point out that It is the most unhappy age rangeand each one takes it in their own way. The millionaires They also suffer that crisis, but in their own way: Mark Zuckerberg bought A 300 million dollars. And each one with his money does what he wants, but the problem is that he has been circling for nine months, burning two million Diesel litersand just arrived at the famous shipyard in France. And they are raining criticism, of course. Launchpad. A really bought a luxury yacht: He bought two. One is less important, since it is “support” for the principal, baptized as launchpad. It is a yacht of 119 meters in length, more than a football field, by 17 meters wide. It has four engines that grant a speed of 44 km/hy, autonomy is more than 3,000 nautical miles (equivalent to about 5,550 kilometers). It has 13 cabins, capacity for 49 crew people with own cabins and comforts such as a game room, infinite pool, gym, spa and helipad. The maintenance cost is about 30 million dollars annually and, for energy and air conditioning, it uses Solar panels. Echo Friendly Enemy. When Zuckerberg bought the yacht, he did it with the intention of giving him life, of course. These last nine months, ha navigated By Tahiti, Norway, Mallorca, Greece and Malta. In total, about 20,000 kilometers in which it has consumed about two million liters of diesel (it is said soon). In this period, esteem which has issued more than 5,300 tons of CO₂ to the atmosphere. For simplifying: se Calculate That, in an hour at cruise speed, the launchpad produces both CO₂ and if we toured 160,000 kilometers in a standard car. In an hour, it emits around 40 tons of co₂, equivalent to the emissions of 630 cars in the same period of time. Incidents. Of course, this does not go unnoticed by environmentalists, since Zuckerberg’s whim adds to others habitual trips of celebrities and millionaires in private vehicles that emit large amounts of carbon dioxide in a context in which many countries have embarked on a decarbonization process. In fact, it is common in millionaires: boast ecological awareness when their actions tell another story. But criticisms of ‘zuck’ not only come from the greenest, but also for certain acts such as Turn off the AIS transponders When I sailed near Mallorca to avoid being detected (and have more privacy), being a practice that infringes both international and Spanish maritime regulations. And controversies go further. In Norway, he wanted to do heliequí (climbing the top of a mountain by helicopter and descending skiing), but as by environmental measures strict permits are needed and a whim is not a reason for weight, Zuckerberg found an ingenious solution: He would not need permits if the helicopter landed directly on his yacht, without touching ground, while he descended skiing. The ciotat. This has fueled the criticism They point to one disconnection Between the Pro -Meta Meta discourse and the personal practices of its headquarters. Now, we must not forget that the own Goal is building some of the larger data centers on the planetsomething that is not precisely aligned with the decarbonization objectives. As much as it is, and how we read in Jeux Videonow the ostentatious yacht It has arrived to the French shipyard of the Ciotat, on the Costa Azul. It is a shipyard that is no stranger to the luxurious ships of the billionaires, since the great fortunes go to him for his exclusive and discreet service. The KoruJeff Bezos’s yacht has also gone through the Ciotat. The contradiction. Far from being in an anecdote, the arrival of the Launchpad has revived the debate on the impact and privileges of billionaires in the Public, economic and environmental spaceespecially in a European context in which these actions are seen as a growing symbol of the inequality and privileges of a minority. From the ciotat, of course, it has always been defended That this activity maintaining luxury yachts generates direct and indirect jobs. We will see if that is enough to sustain that culture of privilege in full climate challenge and inequality.
