What about all of the death threats that politicians and election workers in Georgia received because of Trump pushing election lies on platforms like Twitter? Georgia's Secretary of State and his family received death threats. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/11/politics/georgia-raffensperger-family-death-threats-election/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/11/politics/georgia-raffensperge... Some election workers had to leave their homes because of death threats https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-threats-georgia-exclusiv-idCAKBN2IP0VZ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-threats-geor... But Trump's account was reinstated so I guess only Elon's personal safety matters.

1) Your comment is a red herring; it's not related to what I said 2) I'm simply providing an explanation which Elon Musk has openly been saying, the account was threatening his safety (I made no claim about fairness or anything else) 3) Trump was not doing real-time tracking of specific private individuals and publishing them online I'm not claiming any banning is justified btw, but I'm providing an insight.

  The comment wasn't directed at you personally but the premise that "it might just be for security". If it's "just security" then it's clear that he only cares about his own security. How about this for a better apples to apples comparison? The same guy behind ElonJet also has accounts that track the private jets of Bill Gates, Mark Cuban, Jeff Bezos, and Drake. There are people out there that literally believe that Bill Gates is trying to depopulate the world through vaccines (going so far as claiming that he was apart of a conspiracy that resulted in COVID). Probably a lot crazies that would do something crazy to him. https://twitter.com/GatesJets https://twitter.com/GatesJets And yet this account is not suspended as of right now.

    > And yet this account is not suspended as of right now. It is now. In fact all of the plane trackers are gone.
