I've never come across the term 'heavy VF' before - can somebody clue me in?
Mea culpa! I've edited my comment to fix this.

I think you have to ask yourself which of the following is more likely: 1. @elonjet suddenly started to engage in some extremist/TOS-breaking behaviour 2. Elon Musk changed his mind Given that #2 has happened a few times already, I think that's a pretty reasonable assumption.
I dont think he changed his mind, its just clear what his goal in buying Twitter was from the get go - the "free speech absolutionism" is the PR speak for getting more conservative/right leaning people onto Twitter, and that goal is solely for Elon went hard right after TSLA was excluded from ESG Index (which happened under Biden), and Elons net worth is tied into TSLA stock pretty hard. In controlling Twitter, he ho…
I meant "changed his mind" on this whether this specific account would be allowed on Twitter (He had previously said he was allowing it)

I think Musk's behavior (and the behavior of a lot of public figures, really) makes more sense if you assume that he's not saying things to express ideas, but instead regards words as noises that you make with your mouth that cause other people to do or think things; if they stop having the intended effect, you have to change the noises. It's not hypocrisy, it's the natural outgrowth of seeing other people as a colle…
I find this armchair psychology a bit repulsive--the assumption that one has successfully dissected another and knows the base ingredients that make them tick. If you think about it, to think you know people (figures, if you like) inside out and that their behavior is simplistic and reptilian, is nearly as repugnant in itself as seeing speech as a mere series of levers and pulleys.

I don’t mean to be a antagonistic but as the owner of twitter why would we expect he not have the right and ability to ban anyone he likes? When it was publicly held there was some accountability to the shareholders as part of the public. Now he can literally carry a sink around wherever he wants
No one is questioning his right to ban people. People are pointing it out because it exposed both hour thin skinned he is and what hypocritical BS his “free speech” utterances are.
User falsely claims, without evidence, conspiracy theory of Musk personally banning Twitter accounts.

#449Where else can N628TS be tracked? It looks like some of the most widely used flight trackers do not provide this data.
Honestly, why would anyone really care where his jet goes unless you are him, his crew, or ATC?
The only reason folks would be obsessed with this is for nefarious reasons or just out of a blatant disrespect for the privacy of another person. Only negative reasons.

It’s not free speech if it affects someones safety. Elon is a gated figure and people knowing where he is at all times definitely would not increase safety and could prevent violence
