Twitter has shut down the account.A Twitter account that tracked flights of Elon Musk's private jet has been suspended from the platform - despite the billionaire owner speaking of his "commitment to free speech".
Mr Sweeney attracted attention with his Twitter account that tracks the movements of the Tesla CEO's plane and even rejected Mr Musk's offer of $7,300 to shut down @ElonJet, which had hundreds of thousands of followers.Mr Musk had gone public saying he would not touch the account after buying Twitter in a $44 billion deal as part of his commitment to free speech on the platform.
Mr Musk's jet "flew from LA to Austin last night after my account was suspended on Twitter," he said in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
that what an asshole move looks like, you should pay him 44 billion...
Anyone would think that Twitter was any more than a social media platform.
hmm interesting and btw his company hit a new two year low $tsla
All jet tracking info is publicly availaible on aircraft tracking sites. You have a jet, it is tracked, unless it's military.
It is stalking, not free speech, twisted story.
Only?
The ridiculous $7,500 fake claim is something a tabloid might fall for, but SBS?
It’s fair enough with the democrats having a target on his head now he is exposing all of their corruption, lies and cover ups.
This is the first time that SBS makes an article about twitter moderation policies.
SBS hides the fact that there are war crimes against captured soldiers not just by Russia but Ukraine. Amnesty does. Alzaj. reported on it. looks as you are supposed to be anti racist you censorship news about Azov batallion and other Nazis influential in Ukraine gov. Hypocrites
And we are upset, or what about that?
Missing a few zeroes at the end there, I think. PoveroElon
SBS news is biased and does not present the perspective of people in the Donbass who have been bombed attacked by Ukranian gov. Hypocrisy
This must be the 'free speech absolutism' we were promised.
You’re pathetic. Anything on the media suppressing news to sway elections? Asking for a friend.
Honestly, seems reasonable for someone with the kind of security concerns that Elon would have
Not a horse?
Mr free speech did it anyway.
Ahh, chump change. Surely Ewrong could spare a few million or so :)
Probably all he can spare
would've done it for $20k and then just made a new account with a VPN
They should think themselves lucky he didn’t offer them a pony…
