Original Note:
The statement in the tweet is incorrect, altrough it's a fact that 15 of the largest ships together emitted as much SOx as the worlds 760 million cars in 2009. In 2023, the amount of cars has increased to 1,474 billion cars, making the comparison outdated. https://newatlas.com/shipping-pollution/11526/ hedgescompany.com/blog/2021/06/how-many-cars-are-there-in-the-world/
