Brilio.net - Lately, social media has been abuzz with a post by Erina Gudono , Kaesang Pangarep's wife. President Jokowi's daughter-in-law shared the moment of her departure to the United States to continue her Masters studies at the University of Pennsylvania. However, it was not her departure that was in the spotlight, but the mode of transportation used.
Initially, Erina shared a photo of the cloud view from the plane window via her Instagram Stories. Erina's intention may have only been to share her joy, but astute netizens questioned the type of plane she was on.
"USA here we go," wrote Erina Gudono.

Account X @aglioeoliopasta suspects that the plane Erina was on was not an ordinary commercial plane. He suspects that the plane she was on was a special plane.
"Erina Gudono updated her story from the window of the plane which was believed to not be a commercial plane. The irony," he said.
This suspicion was reinforced by other netizens who noticed the shape of the plane window in Erina's photo. They argued that the window did not resemble the windows of commercial planes in general. Speculation arose that Erina and Kaesang might have used a private jet for their trip.
Netizens' search results point to the suspicion that the couple used a Gulfstream jet. This type of aircraft is known to be luxurious and is often used by the upper class. The jet used by Erina and Kaesang is suspected to be a Gulfstream G650 made in 2021 with the tail number N588SE.
"The private jet allegedly used by Kaesang and his wife to the United States from Indonesia is a 2021 Gulfstream G650 with tail number N588SE. The flight data matches Kaesang and Erina's presence in the US. The initial clue is from the window," wrote @ZakkiAmali.

The owner of the X account @ZakkiAmali also calculated the estimated rental price for more than two people. The price could reach IDR 8.6 billion. Not to mention the high emissions during the trip.
"GLF6 CO2 emission data per passenger: 5,220 Kg. Estimated rental cost: IDR 8.6 billion. Jet fuel cost: IDR 355 million. Hello, the president's son @kaesangb spends a lot of money, a luxurious lifestyle and high emissions on his trip to the United States!!!" he wrote.
This luxury certainly invites various reactions from netizens. Some are amazed, while others question the sensitivity of this couple amidst the heated political situation in the country. Some netizens even calculated that with the cost of renting a private jet, someone could buy a luxury house.
This moment is ironic considering that currently the public is paying great attention to political issues related to the decision of the DPR RI Baleg which is considered to be contrary to the decision of the Constitutional Court number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 concerning the nomination of regional heads. In the midst of this political tension, Erina's upload is considered insensitive by some people.

Not a few netizens are furious with Erina Gudono and Kaesang Pangarep who are not sensitive to the current political conditions. Moreover, when in the United States, they show off luxury.
"Life is really good, no wonder you won't continue selling bananas anymore," said @@howluckyfifii.
"Why not just go up to premium economy, just a little more legroom, xixixi," said @FUKUHARABC.
"Tone is very deaf, aka at least he knows the situation of his people is in trouble," said @pulupulugurl.
"It's crazy, I thought it was just a private jet between states in America. Didn't think it was actually from Indonesia. I really feel like the son of a king," said @Tellerion.
"It looks like the owner trustee at Bank of Utah. The only one who can request it is a state agency. Who is Bank of Utah protecting?" said @Midnite_Podcast.
