Elon Musk's private jet uses energy equivalent to 980 average American households a year. What's your point?

the point is we need to stop all this kind of ish or we die. our species is at a crossroads.

Ah, but we won't all die. Just the poor. The majority will just live worse, much worse lifes.

The important people like Elon will be mostly fine though and isn't that what counts?

How does this logic make sense in your head? Does this suddenly not become an issue because something irrelevant is also bad? How does that make sense??
