Elon posted just now saying the reason for this was someone was stalking his child last night thinking it was him and blocked the car.
- jacquesm 4y agoVery believable. Of course spouting a load of nonsense about former Twitter employees to the point that they have to evacuate their home is perfectly ok by that same token.
- coffeeblack 4y agoThey did not.

- catiopatio 4y ago“Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, and his family were forced from their home … according to a person familiar with Roth’s situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity” Forgive me if I don’t give the Washington Post’s vague reporting and anonymous sources much credence. There are zero details here, and no claim of independent verification other than repeating the hearsay of an anonymous “person familiar” — not even a direct source. How has this story been verified? If it was verified, how were they “forced”? Under what circumstances, specifically? This isn’t reporting, it’s outrage farming.
- Centigonal 4y agoyou're throwing cold water on this claim, but not Musk's tweet. How is one more believable than the other? You're coming off as biased.
- tene80i 4y agoThe article makes clear more details are not given for safety reasons, which is appropriate given harassment has occurred. You can dismiss mainstream press if you like, but the point is it’s not a HN commenter being hysterical or equivalent to subreddit speculation: this is reported news.
- tedunangst 4y agoHow has the story about the guy on the car hood been verified?
- ruszki 4y agoAccording to you then, you either believe in Musk way more than in Washington Post, or you must think that reasoning of Musk is also such a fabrication. Neither seems to me a well reasoned position with the current information available.
- prvc 4y ago>Of course spouting a load of nonsense about former Twitter employees to the point that they have to evacuate their home "Evacuating" one's home != "having" to evacuate one's home
- ketralnis 4y agoOh cool so he'll immediately start acting on all of the other stalkers everywhere too, right? Obviously
- drexlspivey 4y agoThe same dude who was the elonjet account has accounts for many other celebrities planes, Bezos, Drake etc. They were all taken down
- kivle 4y agoAbout 4 hours after the news story broke though. It seemed more like damage control than anything.
- justin66 4y agoI think we can all agree that celebrity stalking via plane tracking apps ought to have been prioritized above all the other safety issues Twitter is still fumbling around on ineffectually.
- 8note 4y agoHow many children can the one guy be following at a time? How does he get between all these different places at the same time? Is there an elonsjetsjet Twitter account to track elonsjets movements?
- rideontime 4y agoNot at the same time, only hours later (but still before the policy was scribbled).
- greenthrow 4y agoWhat does that have at all to do with posting the already publicly available location of his jet? Seems like a pretty obvious attempt to play on people's emotions and shut down any kind of rational thinking to cover up for Elon just banning people that annoy him.
