>How exactly does knowing that Celebrity X traveled from LA to NYC yesterday "pose a risk of physical harm?" It's not just "travelled" it's "travelling". You can track the jet in realtime and if on a flight plan (which is most of the time) you can determine their destination ahead of time along with a highly accurate arrival time. Paparazzi or more nefarious actors can then wait at the private airport terminal. It's also not theoretical as Elon's ex-wife + kids were attacked using this method and Paparazzi uses it regularly. The best argument against this is that Meta banning it doesn't do much as people can still query FAA data directly.

It occurred in the neighbourhood where his ex-wife lives. https://archive.is/RWW4T https://archive.is/RWW4T (Washington Post)

We should not longer have music festivals with this argumentation (as a random example from millions). People exactly know where and what time famous are at a specific location. Sure it might not be "highly accurate timing" but lets be honest a stalker doesn’t care about a bunch of hours more or less. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1842048755169690103 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1842048755169690103 Oh no Musk revealed where he’s going to be, someone could wait for him there. It’s quite obvious that this is not about stalking as Elon loves being seen/heard and doesn't shy away from the public.

  What is it about then? Elon himself has said he's fine with people posting his flights with a delay. True to his word, there are active accounts on X doing just that: https://x.com/elonjetnextday https://x.com/elonjetnextday

    Not sure, but as you can see from the pinned post of the account you linked, Elon even livestreams himself driving. Could it be related to not wanting to give too up to date information that could be business related? I am just guessing, but maybe there is a fear that his flights could be used to derive information about Tesla/X/SpaceX incidents etc?

      Maybe but I believe it is about safety, Elon himself chooses to live in the spotlight but his family doesn't. The real-time jet tracking puts his family at risk not just him.
