But again, the info is publicly available, there is a mechanism to obscure it, and he is not availing himself of it.
Separately, the nutcase who intercepted his car did so miles away from any airport and there’s no evidence or police report to suggest that the flight details were what allowed this to happen.
I’ll also throw out there that he has a security detail for his family, which makes sense if you’re (one of) the richest people in the world, regardless of whether someone tweets your jet’s location. He’s actually far better equipped to deal with stalkers than the typical public figure. Doesn’t make it okay, of course, but look at what happened to Paul pelosi - the spouse of the 3rd in line to succeed the presidency gets his head smashed in - where’s the outrage over how their location was found?
- tracker1 4y agoSo if someone can afford a security detail, it's okay to stalk and attempt to harm them? As to publicly available information... if it's so readily available, what is the point of (re)publishing live data if not to cause harm?
- _djo_ 4y agoSweeney enhanced the information with estimates of carbon emissions.
- tracker1 4y agoThen there's no need for it to be real time then.
- _djo_ 4y agoIt's not permitted at all, real time or otherwise.
- tracker1 4y agoIt's been stated that it would be allowed with a reasonable delay (iirc 24h). The point stands though... if the intent is anything other than harm, it doesn't need to be real time. If the intent is to show carbon use, than a monthly report would be more than enough.
- _djo_ 4y agoThe talk about a delay was walked back soon after. I’m guessing it was an idea by Irwin and then rejected by Musk. This is already public information, as it is for all other aircraft. Delaying the Twitter feed by 24 hours makes no sense.
- tracker1 4y agoPublishing it to twitter real time makes no sense...

- tracker1 4y agoWorth noting that in many places voter registration and property owner, even vehicle registration details are also public information. That doesn't make it okay to push your address out to Twitter either.
- klyrs 4y ago> but look at what happened to Paul pelosi - the spouse of the 3rd in line to succeed the presidency gets his head smashed in - where’s the outrage over how their location was found? Musk only had jokes for that one. For all the hue and cry about Twitter's "partisanship" there really is no principle here, it's only about who holds the gavel.
