it truly is bizarre how many fanboys came here to post irrelevant and incorrect information to defend Musk doing a big 180 on a supposed deeply held principle of his because he got personally upset about someone making him look childish.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Musk has now included a tweet seemingly trying to dox the stalker, including their license plate. How can he immediately turn from "people shouldn't post publicly available information that can be abusable" to posting someone's abusable public information?
Link to the tweet? I can't find it.
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
How is tracking a jet allowing a stalker to stalk a car?
The slight of hand here is to conflate the car and the plane and the dates. This allows his followers to push a “it was for his child’s safety!” argument, in which yet again Elon Musk uses his children as a prop to avoid critical examination of his new story. Which, as you and others point out, falls apart due to the timing of the last tweet and the purported incident.

Because he's a terrible person who doesn't really care for anyone or anything other than himself and his giant pile of gold.

So to be clear, this info is already public but a lack of web scraping ability prevents the low end stalkers from stalking without the twitter account.

And if you don't have the registration that one more search. All of this information is public and that goes for pretty much all aircraft.
If the bar is 'low end stalkers that don't have internet' then yes, it will make a difference.

My guess is the story is completely made up or staged.
I'm assuming it's a logistical issue more than a financial one, or else more people would do it. (or private jetters can't abide to not have their own aircraft, always available and set up the way they like it)

> Musk’s son, X Æ A-12 I heard that he gave his child a strange name, but... that is just something else. On topic: I don't see how a flight location could be shown to cause that event. If I told you that I was arriving somewhere at LAX at around 0900 could you find me?
Are you flying in on your own private jet and are you among the richest most well-known people in the world?
