    That seems wasteful, of any flight really.

    It’d be cool if jets doing that could partner with freight companies and move cargo if needing to reposition.

      Every private jet flight is wasteful. But, Elon Musk’s wealth fluctuates by up to $5 billion every single day. Even if he spent $5m a day on his jet, it would be an amount he wouldn’t even notice. He could literally buy a brand new private jet every single day and not notice the cost.
