Musk bans live location sharing, says he’ll sue creator of plane-tracking bot
- barbazoo 4y agoMusk must know that this is public information in the first place, he can't not know that ADS-B exists.
- encryptluks2 4y agoHe doesn't care. He's hoping the threat of a lawsuit is scary enough. The guy should start a fund raiser. Maybe they could preempt this by suing Musk first and get a nice liberal judge. The advantage Musk would have by suing first is finding a corrupt Trump-appointed district.
- strangattractor 4y agoMusk has gone full Trump - shame is no longer in his vocabulary.
- quantified 4y agoLook how many people are talking about him. Like Trump, he's won.
- ogn3rd 4y agoWon what? Ahole of the year?
- barbazoo 4y agoquantified is implying, and he's not totally wrong, that Musk gets enjoyment out of being in the spotlight, regardless the reason. Probably some truth to it, surely seems that way.
- rektide 4y agothe best highest form of psychopathy has become kind of apparent: those who convince themselves they and they alone stand between salvation of this planet & oblivion/ruin. no matter what people say or think, you can wrap the warm blanket of self-delusion around yourself & be convinced your ultimate cause is all that matters. this is near-kin to the wonderful Disco Elysium character attribute, Inland Empire. no external sources are required, you have a diverse & flourishing internal world you can always turn to supply yourself.
- quantified 4y agoYou got it. "What an a-hole" only scores even more points.
- fsociety 4y agoTrump won in the short-term and long-term will have lost big. It’s not a strategy one should employ.
- encryptluks2 4y agoSome say he's the biggest sore loser in American history.
- quantified 4y agoAnd... let's see what's in store for Elon. He's at least seems to be a bit smarter to start with, but he's like the biggest glue manufacturer on earth beginning to get high on his own supply.
- ratg13 4y agoHe does, they banned ADSBExchange and others for just having an account.
- strangattractor 4y agoDeep pocketed rich guy threatening a cannot afford a law suit average guy.
- lost_tourist 4y agoAll that guy has to do is show up in court without a lawyer and say he's protected under settled law and court cases. I assume the ACLU or similar will back him if he asks for their help. It's almost certain any judge this comes before will toss it out based on the 1st amendment and precedent.
- lost_tourist 4y agoThis is some more of that free speech absolutism we've been hearing about. Flight paths that are public are protected by freedom of speech up to and including a court decision. Yet it's fine to have tons of white supremacy tweets and loaded threats and slanderous tweets about people without any issues.
- bell-cot 4y agoExcuse me...are you expecting sober and logically consistent behavior from Elan Musk???
- bdcrazy 4y agoHe is likely hoping the courts change course if he brings up safety and terrorism. He may not be wrong as the Supreme Court has changed longstanding decisions on larger topics recently.
- lost_tourist 4y agoYou have a point. The current SCOTUS majority is only paying attention to stare decisis/precedent when it's convenient for their agenda
