PG has been a Musk fanboy defending his every crazy action on Twitter. Even now his first instinct was to assume that there was some foul play. Anyway he saying it’s bad is a change for sure.

  He's confidently stating now that there was a "coordinated campaign" to continue posting the jet tracker link (e.g. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af). From the chrysalis emerges the caterpillar.

      pg's been like this for a long time though. He's basically a poorer version of elon.

Check out the follow up, he immediately pivots to accusing the journalists of a “coordinated campaign”.

  I read it that way at first too, but I think he’s saying that’s why he originally suspected the bans were due to an algorithm gone awry. And that’s a reasonable worry — it was possible that a particular url was causing the accounts to be banned, e.g. if Musk added ElonJet to some kind of internal ban list, that’d do it. pg’s still on the side of journalism.

    No, he's claiming the journalists "coordinated" a campaign to share external links to the jet tracker. Some of them admit that they did (not "coordinated" -- alternate sites of this public data has been very widely shared), but others are at a loss and claim they did no such thing. One had reported on an LAPD statement -- that despite the imminent harm Elon claimed, they hadn't gotten a crime report and actually had to reach out to Elon's people -- and shortly after got suspended. Elon is constantly leveraging the "for the children" cover for his petulance.

      After re-reading the tweet, I’m honestly not sure anymore. What a strange situation.
