This feels like tweeting something like "hanging out with at " is now a bannable offense? Am I missing something?

It's a hastily-written rule designed to ban Things Musk Doesn't Like while allowing things he does. See also the exception: > In addition, you may not share private media, such as images or videos of private individuals, without their consent. However, we recognise that there are instances where users may share images or videos of private individuals, who are not public figures, as part of a newsworthy event or to fu…

So is Hunter Biden’s private media now banned again? Maybe not, as long as “Twitter” decides it is newsworthy (but in such a way that Elon’s media or location is not)? My head is spinning.

Devils Advocate: why would that be a bad thing?

Because there is actual war going on? Information about Russian government aircrafts or Putin's oligarchs private jets leaving country can be important in real time. Musk banned those too.

That's just him taking care of his friends.

The fell back to using Facebook earlier today facepalm

They didn't "fall back" to Facebook. ElonJet has been on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and Truth Social this entire time. And as of 7 hours ago Mastodon.social as well. [1] [1] https://grndcntrl.net/links/

I’ve never cared about his jets before, but… well, I’m following now.

He should make up his mind about this 'free speech' thing and then stick to whatever decision he comes up with for at least a couple of months. This is beyond silly.

Yeah... if he really cared about anyone else's personal safety other than his own, he wouldn't have fired the twitter safety team, and then not said anything about a former twitter executive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/12/musk-tw...

Elon mostly cares about Elon and the rest of the world are cardboard NPCs to him as far as I'm interpreting all of his actions for the last two months.

Elon posted some info[0] that gives it some context: "Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood. Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family." Make that what you will. [0]: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944

Lol how does it make sense to connect the public data plane tracker with someone following a car

Yes except for the part where it's a car not a plane and some random LA road not an airport. Except for these things it's a perfect match, grateful for this context. Although this "Elon Musk realizes he is not alone on planet" arc is quite interesting.
