legal asked us to ban it again after they learned elon's goal. which was to shadownban-2.0 the account when needed to delay news of certain travel. he came up with the idea when we pointed out other smaller accounts started to post the info and we were considering flagging them as bot last week.

Assuming this is true, and elonjet can post to multiple places... might make a good way to detect which travels are notable.

Elon posted just now saying the reason for this was someone was stalking his child last night thinking it was him and blocked the car.

Very believable. Of course spouting a load of nonsense about former Twitter employees to the point that they have to evacuate their home is perfectly ok by that same token.

No post body was provided.

We constantly hear about how the most mundane criticism on social media is inflicting harm, and words are violence and stochastic terrorism, and ChatGPT needs baby guardrails, but when there are literal death threats ( https://twitter.com/dataracer117/status/1519167734910619649 ) and physical proximity to kids ( https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603190155107794944 ) the very same people are suddenly dismissing any…

This is so disingenuous. The location of Elon's Private Jet is publicly available info just like any aircraft operating in the US. It also has nothing to do with the alleged stalker attack on his car.

Is he going to sue the FAA? His live might not be easy, but if he really wants Twitter to be a bastion of free speech, reposting very easy to find public information is probably not where the line is crossed.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the people who think of the most mundane things being said by ChatGPT are harmful are not the same ones siding with elonjet/sweeny here.

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

He should ban twitter because there's public information on it.

And I think Lil Nas X can handle his own.

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.

Well so long as it's no longer the government asking him to censor things that aren't illegal and ban people they don't like, it's a private company so I don't see what the problem is.

What did the government ask him to censor previously?

What does that have at all to do with posting the already publicly available location of his jet? Seems like a pretty obvious attempt to play on people's emotions and shut down any kind of rational thinking to cover up for Elon just banning people that annoy him.

I'm not sure whether the government asked Musk to censor anything previously.
