Why did they need the jet? Was it to swiftly fly startup founders around the world conveniently when they needed to attend something?

for the same reason Neumann's name appeared ~170 times in the IPO filing and the corporate structure looks like Losts Dharma iniative

it's the only way to get a company that subleases real estate to look like something that is worth 40 billion dollars

Rumor is Neumann had to step down because he flew the Great Circle route.
