Elon Musk's strict private jet rules have been leaked, and the billionaire's curious character is once again being questioned.
It's been a tough few financial months for the world's richest man, with Donald Trump's tariffs sparking trouble in paradise as the X owner was just one of several billionaires to be hit hard by the new rules.
The 53-year-old even hit out at the Trump adviser behind the idea, which has only seemingly only got worse with time, as the trade war with China continues.

Ever since Musk was appointed as a senior adviser to the president, Tesla sales have been slumping worldwide, to the extent where he lost around $41 billion. Perhaps they will pick up again when he is forced to leave his position as a special government employee.
Trump is undoubtedly a regular guest on Musk's private jet, but even the world's most powerful man might be subject to some of the reported rules the owner enforces.
Following a cyber attack on NetJets, a document was leaked which revealed all of the private jet etiquette Musk wants everyone to follow when onboard his favourite jet (yes, he has two), the Gulfstream G650ER.
The private jet seats just 18, which means if he wants to have all his kids (14) and their mothers (four) on board, then one unlucky soul is going to have to miss out. You get the feeling that he'd probably not invite Vivian Jenna Wilson, given that she's previously described him as a 'pathetic man child' who she hasn't spoken to since 2020.
The document (via Bloomberg) said: "Mr. Musk considers himself self-sufficient and does not need help with technology—if he does, he will ask.”
So, rule number one, do not ask if he needs help fixing the wifi.
If you like to keep your air vents going when you're on a plane, then don't bother getting on Musk's jet, he doesn't like the noise. But don't worry, the cabin will be kept at around 18 degrees celsius.
There's obviously so much to talk with the billionaire about, whether it be his plans for space or his right-wing opinions on X, but small talk is not encouraged. Musk 'wants to fly as quickly and directly' as possible and is 'not interested in conserving fuel', the document states.
Just in case you were tempted to start up a conversation, it should be noted that Musk will likely be asleep, as he likes his lights dimmed.
Given that he has taken his jet on trips that would reportedly take just 10 minutes in the car in the past, his ability to nap so efficiently must be commended. His attitude towards the planet, not so much.
A spokesperson for Net Jets said: "We recently detected and addressed a security incident involving an employee’s account. Upon detection of the incident, our cybersecurity team immediately initiated our response protocols and implemented containment measures. We found that a limited amount of data for a very small number of Owners was obtained, and we contacted each of these Owners. The activity did not affect our operations or our ability to service our customers."
