And... It's suspended again just now.

Twitter is officially a dumpster fire.

For at least 10 years.

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

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.

maybe they followed the car from the airport?

Are cars reporting real-time location to some online services? Good that cars dont do it unlike private jets! That would be terrible for privacy... /s

Yeah what kind of car maker would pioneer something like that?

They didn't crawl onto the hood of lil X's plane. Big difference.

Given that it's suspended again - if I create an account that tweets where Elon's jet was yesterday, would that be ok?

Legal action being taken against the person who pulled public flight information and published already public information?

The sad part is I’m sure Elon can bury this guy in fees even if the lawsuit is ultimately ruled as entirely without merit.

No they didn't. Or if they did they banned it again after their new figleaf rules were enacted. You can't make this up, what a mess.

They banned it again about 8 minutes ago. I was scrolling through the linked thread when it got suspended and the tweets disappeared.

This might be why: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944

Meanwhile all the Elon Musk jet stories are disappearing fast from the front page. The main one with over 1k comments and points survived only 6 hours.

I explained that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33992824 . In principle we would turn off the user flags and software penalties, but the thread quality is so wretched that I see no upside. I'm shocked, and I don't shock easily after 10 years of this.

How is discussing something related to tech destructive?

Your home location is also public info. Publishing it on twitter is still doxxing and always has been.
