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.

I believe “lil X” is referring to his son, X.

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.

The solution is pretty obvious. Has no one ever seen a bank robbery movie?

He just needs 3, or 4 or 5, more jets. Each flies off in a different direction.

wait this is wild, so much for free speech 2.0

wait so you're saying doxing is on the same level as dissenting the government? one thing is broadcasting personal information about a citizen, one is protecting a citizens right to object to actions by their government. collecting public information is still doxxing. most doxxing involves only public information as it happens across the internet. edit: a downvote is not a rebuttal, sorry, try again.

Aircraft are not citizens.

I don’t think it’s crazy for Twitter to ban stuff like this. The damning part is just that it explicitly goes against the stuff Musk has repeatedly said!

It's definitely hard to figure out the logic where it's OK to ban someone for posting plane data because it might be misused for dangerous while it's bad evil censorship to ban the President while he's actively trying to overturn the results of a lawful election.

I guess people were getting bored without all the t-man drama so we've switch to Elon drama

Part of why he's now hated by a lot of people is that he's saying things like "free speech" rather than "ban all T Man all places!" It's oddly connected. I'm sure Kanye will show up in this battle of the moneymen at some point.

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.

It's only a problem if you want Twitter to survive as a platform where they at least try to uphold something akin to free speech. If you want it to become irrelevant then I guess it doesn't matter, and there is no problem. But if Elon says he wants it to be a place of free speech and he doesn't behave in a way that backs that up according to public opinion (which is highly subjective) then there will be some issues r…

Indeed I gave Twitter a second chance because of this and this makes it doubly hard to defend. I already cared little about defending the cult of personality thing.

"Doxxing" isn't illegal and never has been.

That is location dependent. NL, Spain and China (and possibly others) have anti-doxxing laws. That said: tracking a plane is not doxxing.

Just because information is publicly available doesn’t mean it’s not doxxing. It’s the act itself. Otherwise every accusation of doxxing could be denied with a single level of indirection.

His son is named X?? Isn't that the name of his first company that he abandoned? X.com . Man this story's boring. I hope Lil Nas X's jet is ok.
