Mark Zuckerberg faces a shocking backlash of details reported on the private megayacht: “symbol of hypocrisy”

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and the parent company Meta, once again found himself at the center of criticisms on his use of a megayacht.

According to Greek Reporter, the massive zuckerberg yacht, Launchpad, burned more than 500,000 gallons of diesel fuel in the last nine months before granting in France for the interview.

How did the technological billionaire burned so much fuel in such a short time? Simple. Over the past nine months, Zuckerberg has launched 387 feet on what was essentially a world tour, from South Asia to Europe.

In addition to that, Launchpad spent a lot of time waiting for Zuckerberg in Southern Asia before crossing the Pacific to meet him in San Francisco, a round trip of 9,600 miles who consumed 178,700 gallons of diesel fuel in one time.

Why is it a problem? Well, in simple terms, megayachts like Launchpad are among the greatest polluters on earth per capita at the moment. With ineffective engines that pump carbon dioxide and other heating gases on the planet in the atmosphere, the average megayacht contributes each year to 5,672 metric tonnes of atmosphere, according to Oxfam, according to Oxfam.

If it is not bad enough, most megayachts have their own smaller support yachts, which are used to transport passengers and supplies to and from ships. These also burn immense amounts of fuel compared to a car, creating a cascade of environmental problems.

An X user called the Zuckerberg’s massive ship “a blatant symbol of hypocrisy”, citing the climate activism of the founder of Meta as well as net juxtaposition with its continuous use of the ship.

Zuckerberg is committed to obtaining Meta’s operations and his own personal life for zero emissions in sharpness by 2030, but given the amount of fuel he burned with Launchpad, this could prove to be an incredibly large order.
