Zuckerberg’s superyacht and climate hypocrisy – steigan.no

Meta/Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acquired a $300 million superyacht. That it is an absurd and ostentatious luxury is now one thing, but what triggers the curse internationally is that Zuckerberg wants everyone to be punished for their “climate emissions”, while his ship with its four diesel engines is an abomination of rank.

Insects for you, yacht for me

Mark Zuckerberg’s new yacht has become a social media sensation thanks to a viral TikTok video capturing the stunning boat. The massive vessel, which is currently docked in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, does not skimp on luxury. The yacht stretches over 118 meters and debuted in March 2024 across the Atlantic. The boat was designed by Swedish-based Espen Øin International, according to the reports, has “an elegant, multi-layered exterior with a robust steel hull and an aluminum superstructure”.

With a gross tonnage of 5,000 gross tons, the yacht can cruise at speeds of up to 24 knots, making for an epic cruising experience for the billionaire. The boat currently ranks 45th as one of the world’s largest yachts. The beast also has a helipad in case the Meta owner changes their mind and wants to take a quick flight. With this, Mark Zuckerberg joins a group of tech billionaires who also own superyachts, including Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison and Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

With The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have positioned themselves first and foremost as “climate philanthropists” and on Facebook Zuckerberg operates “climate censorship” against those who have deviant climate ideas.

They cannot believe their own message

It is one thing that the billionaire class are hypocrites, but the “green billionaires'” own practice shows that they cannot possibly believe their own message. Their entire “climate commitment” is about this being the royal road to subsidies, tax exemptions, preferential treatment and more profit. With “climate” as a sledgehammer, they can crush popular opposition, obtain concessions and special treatment and become even richer. It is a mega-class fraud operation.
