I think he was legit shaken by the incident with the kook stalker and his son. Which is certainly understandable. People need to dial the hate way down. Way, way down. And the rule change was quite clear that linking to the jet tracking was prohibited. That all said, he's gone too far here. And it's an unwinnable fight anyway.

So what would banning a jet tracking account have to do with a stalker (for which no police report was filed)? And why ban journalists? In addition, the rule change was just to enable the banning of the jet tracking, not because it was it came from some higher sense of duty.

  > So what would banning a jet tracking account have to do with a stalker From what I can gather and infer, a couple of days ago Musk's son got off the jet and into a car, then that car was attacked by a stalker looking for Musk himself. Musk believes that the stalker got the information from the ElonJet Twitter account.

    It was days after and nowhere near the airport. And again, no police report filed. You were dooped.

        The incident happened in a car…days after. The location is for the jet… that’s the price you pay for a private jet using public air space.

        > The incident happened in a car I believe the car was followed from the jet (possibly after the car dropped off Musk, or collected Musk's son from Musk), which was at Los Angeles International Airport earlier that day. The car itself doesn't have a live tracker, so it seems less likely that someone dressed up in all black balaclava/gloves would find it otherwise - if it's even a known car at all. > days after Days after what? > that’s the price you pay for a private jet using public air space. A stalker attacking the car containing your 2-year-old son is NOT just a price to pay.

        You’re missing that the incident in question was days after the jet landed at the airport. DAYS. There was no following from earlier that day. My statement of price to pay was public jet location information using public airspace. This is the case for everyone. It was done for years and there’s no evidence it was a factor in the incident here despite many trying to find an excuse after the fact.

        Elon's jet landed in Los Angeles on the night in question. This is easy for you to verify for yourself.
        xcrunner529 4y ago
        Day. The incident is now shown to have been almost 24 hours later. I was mistaken at days but it certainly wasn’t right after.

  How do you know no police report was filed? Are they public record in LA?

    Reportedly, the LAPD said so when asked and reporters were kicked off Twitter for reporting that.

He actively promoted a conspiracy that Paul Pelosi was attacked by a gay prostitute. (While Pelosi was still in the hospital recovering from serious injuries.) Why should he expect sympathy now?
runarberg 4y ago
Has LAPD commented on these accusations? Has a complaint been filed? Usually I’m a believer in people that claim to be victims of violence but in the case of Elon, I’m gonna wait until I hear from the appropriate authorities before I believe this story.

  They geolocated the video and it wasn't even near an airport.

He was more shaken by real journalists digging into whether he made it up.
philosopher1234 4y ago
Quite the contrary. People like you need to start hating Elon too. He doesn’t get half the hate he deserves.

I think you have to give sympathy in similar situations to expect sympathy in return in that same situation. As mentioned, the Pelosi incident comes to mind.
ilyt 4y ago
Uh, no, that just proves that he will do stupid shit on a whim regardless of any ramifications.
