This is ridiculous. 1. The jet’s location is publicly available by law. 2. No one knows who’s in “Elons jet”. If Elon wants to travel private without anyone

This is ridiculous.
1. The jet’s location is publicly available by law.
2. No one knows who’s in “Elons jet”.
If Elon wants to travel private without anyone knowing he is he can simply charter a jet. This is what most celebrities do.
- darawk 4y agoI'm not defending his choice to ban it. The person I was responding to made the claim that the journalists were banned without even having posted the banned information. If that's true, that's bad in a different way than the choice to ban the information in the first place. My position is that I don't like his decision to ban this information, but I understand it. If, however, he is using this as an excuse to capriciously ban his enemies, that is something I don't like a lot more.

- dylan604 4y agoDoes AOC own her own jet? If not, you're just trying really hard to make two things that are not the same, the same in your mind. The rest of us are looking at each other with raised eyebrows intimating "what's this about?"
- memish 4y ago"If the same thing was happening" It's a hypothetical. Swap the word "Elon" with "AOC".
- fredophile 4y agoThere are multiple issues here and people can be upset about some while not being upset about all of them. Musk specifically Saif he would not ban the account that reports on his jets location. He then changed his mind and the account was banned. Journalists reported the ban and were themselves banned for their reporting. Personally, while I think banning the jet location account is hypocritical I don't have a serious problem with it. I do have a problem with banning journalists reporting on the ban.
- roddds 4y agoDoes AOC own a private jet?
- colordrops 4y agoThe "other side" wasn't ranting about not banning any speech that wasn't illegal. Also, AOC doesn't have a private jet.
- ilyt 4y agoSure, they just... did it silently.
- bigmattystyles 4y agoYou know, I’m sick of people saying AOC is the far left version of Elon, or more often, the left’s Marjorie Taylor Greene. Bullshit. AOC is more left of center than most in Congress but if you follow her, she’s mostly earnest (especially for a pol) and she does the work. Even when I disagree with her, I find her to be considerate and intellectually honest. She’s not the left’s Elon, MTG or Boebert, she’s far, far better.

- bigmattystyles 4y agoPlease, Elon’s companies rely on so much establishment money in the US, the establishment’s control over its population in China, etc.. He’s as establishment as it gets. Just has a veneer of anti-establishment that, checks notes, leans right / authoritarian.
- mcv 4y agoI don't think there's anything moderate about him anymore.
- ALittleLight 4y agoIsn't it pretty natural to find politicians closer to you on the political spectrum more appealing than politicians further from you?
- blitzar 4y ago"The Media" regularly report on the exact real time location of AOC.
- WeylandYutani 4y agoIf AOC flew a private jet to Cuba I'm sure Republicans would tweet about it.
- ErikVandeWater 4y ago> 2. No one knows who’s in “Elons jet”. There's very good ways to guess who's in Elon's Jet.
