Twitter has suspended an account that used publicly available flight data to track Elon Musk’s private jet, despite a pledge by the social media platform’s new owner to keep it up because of his free speech principles.
Started in 2020 when Sweeney was a teenager, the account automatically posted the Gulfstream jet’s flights with a map and an estimate of the amount of jet fuel and carbon emissions it expended. The University of Central Florida student said Musk last year sent him a private message offering $US5,000 to take it down, citing security concerns. Musk later stopped communicating to Sweeney, who never deleted the account. Their exchange was first reported by tech news outlet Protocol earlier this year.“My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk,” Musk tweeted on November 6.
Not sure I would want active doxxing accounts on my if I were a POI. I’m guessing nobody else would either…

'The value of Tesla dropped dramatically this year. I think the share price is down 28 per cent since Elon Musk purchased Twitter,” she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “And he spent 44 billion purchasing Twitter; I mean, that’s a fair bit of money.” Yes it is a bait he cannot refuse . Temporary, I'd buy Tesla stock if I had any money. Who cares what that berk Sophie Elsworth says. Get her off she is a blight.
