How many Elon Musk's would we have to deport?

Counting just private jet flight about 200 Elons (5kt CO2/y). Some people are even higher, and large yachts are worse than business jets I'd assume.

But I'd say that people tend to actually overestimate the share of super-rich; ten thousand normal US citizens emit more than a single billionaire, and there's not that many billionaires.
