He would never run for office in South Africa, where he has no remaining serious ties, no support base, and no popularity amongst the general population.

I can’t edit that, but it already says he might’ve used PIA in the past. Perhaps his aircraft have used PIA codes in the past, but they're not using them now.
425.
by _djo_ 4y ago
No idea. All we can show is that it frequently and recently uses its original ICAO code for US flights, and so isn’t making use of PIA to obfuscate those in the way intended.
426.
by _djo_ 4y ago
Difficult to prove a negative, but we can show that his aircraft have used non-PIA public codes for US flights recently. That makes it highly unlikely that PIA was used on other flights in between. It also doesn’t explain why Musk’s Twitter

The 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.
428.
by _djo_ 4y ago
You're right about international flights and I should have specified that, but you can view the aircraft's recent US-only flights and see that it also used its permanent ICAO code.

It's not permitted at all, real time or otherwise.

by _djo_ 4y ago
As I said, he may have at some point but clearly no longer is. PIA only provides the anonymised codes, it's up to the aircraft owner to use them by recoding their transponder and as is clear from the evidence Musk's aircraft are u

Then why did you not do that? ElonJet's last mention of N628TS before the attack was to report it landing at LAX the day before.[0] Nothing on the day of the claimed attack. [0] https://www.facebook.com/ElonJet/pos

Nope. Some were banned for linking to the LAPD statement, some for just asking him follow up questions.
435.
by _djo_ 4y ago
Yep, absolutely correct.
436.
by _djo_ 4y ago
That is true, but you can look up recent flights of N628TS taking place only in the US and see it using its regular code there too.

Bellingcat have geolocated the imagery of the alleged stalking incident, showing it took place nowhere near an airport. It was also on a day when ElonJet wasn't operating. Nor is there any way of knowing whether Musk or his family are

These are the ones owned by Falcon Landing LLC, the company he set up for his aircraft. It's also the list tracked by Sweeney / ElonJet. https://grndcntrl.net/falconlanding/

I care about billionaires shutting down a means of transparency over their actions and about his erratic and irrational application of policies on Twitter that suit his mood, and what the consequences of both might be. It's not just ab

Seeing as though this is what has caused Musk to go even further off the deep end, banning journalists, causing more people to leave Twitter, and getting more unwelcome attention from regulators, I'd say it's directly related to h

Musk is lying. This is what an aircraft in the PIA programme looks like. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a0fe01 Note the 'PIA' flag and lack of additional information that would normally be pulled from the re

As the one making the assertion of illegality in terms of the GDPR, the onus is on you to provide a substantive justification for it. Not me.

by _djo_ 4y ago
Again, please provide any substantive evidence for that claim. Private aircraft are neither private cars nor private phones and have he ever been treated equivalently under EU law. You’re reasoning through false analogies.
450.
by _djo_ 4y ago
Private cars have always been treated differently to private aircraft in US, UK, and EU law. So, no, it’s not analogous. Nobody would even contemplate a public registry of car owners, for instance, but all of those countries maintain one fo
