As a currently homeless, disabled person living in a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan, yes, I wonder who has that kind of money. And you know what else I see all over the deserts and national parks I now call home? Starlink. Everyone has StarlinK. That is expensive enough, but the rigs they sit on top of are huge and money as well.

I am all good with my situation, but I know many people who have it worse than me with not even a car to live in, so when I see opulence like this for the novelty of it I wonder where human compassion has gone.

And to make like these things are doing anything for the environment is just green washing. I have solar power that cost me $700 in total that powers everything I need. My sleeping bag is my heater and my reflective tarps are my AC. I am sure my carbon foot print in minuscule compare to anyone who could afford a Jupe.
