  From your link: >"Sweeney, a first-year student at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, says he uses publicly available transponder data from Musk’s private plane to track its location. That data, which includes the plane’s altitude, latitude, longitude, and heading are then fed into an algorithm he created. The @ElonJet bot then takes that information and Tweets out when Musk takes off and lands." I hope that this individual makes his bot code publicly available so that others can just keep putting up @elonjet clones on Twitter and elsewhere. This could so easily be put up again somewhere else outside of Twitter. I think a Kickstarter campaign for a site called something like "Free Speech Jet" would likely be very successful just on principle alone.

  > Musk addressed the issue in early November, saying he would ban the @ElonJet account due to free speech principles. >“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 said in the Tweet. Looks like the author / editorial team at Gizmodo missed a negation there?
