Elon Musk Explains Why People Should Not Fear Turbulence

The world’s richest man and Tesla CEO (Chief Executive Officer), Elon Musk, recently explained why air turbulence is not a big deal and why people should never be scared during a turbulent flight.

He said that one should not be afraid of turbulence because the aeroplane is not going to crash. While responding to a video showing aeroplane wings during turbulence, he explained to Twitter users that commercial airliner wings can withstand powerful forces and can bend to "insane amounts". He reportedly wrote on Twitter, “People should never fear turbulence. Commercial airliner wings can handle insane amounts of bending.”

His comment instantly grabbed the eyeballs of netizens. They appreciated Musk in their comments. A Twitter user reportedly wrote, "Musk is absolutely right here. Generally, the aircraft structure and wings can handle much more turbulence and forces than the human body can so those moving wings are not an issue.”

Air turbulence generally happens when the aeroplane flies through clashing bodies of air moving at widely different speeds. It is an irregular motion of the air resulting from vertical currents.

Meanwhile, Musk is currently under a federal investigation related to his $44 billion takeover deal for the social media giant, Twitter. According to a court filing made public on Thursday, Twitter requested that Musk's legal team produce their communications with federal authorities months ago.

Earlier this year, Musk made a hostile bid to take over Twitter at $54.20 per share. However, he backed away from the deal and blamed Twitter for breaching the agreement between them by misrepresenting the number of fake accounts on the micro-blogging site. Subsequently, Twitter said that Musk’s scepticism over fake accounts tally was a distraction to walking away from the deal. According to Twitter, Musk backed away from the deal because the stocks of Twitter tumbled.
