Can't wait for Musk to go against the FAA for requiring this info be publicly announced and not restricted time wise. He also probably won't affect any account(s) that publish this information so long as it doesn't affect him personally. You know, free speech as approved by Musk and all.

This a pretty reductive take. Based on my observations so far,I don't think EM is as unprincipled as this suggests.

Twitter already suspended someone who posted a video of Elon being booed, is it that much of a stretch?

Anyone paying attention to his tweets can tell this is obvious fake front that he tries to maintain (one that actually works on a lot of folks). On some level it's probably technically true part of the time, counting long flights in his private jet as "working", etc.

Of course-- anyone with eyes can see that VC hustle culture is a grift.

To be fair, I do think there are people who work hard, especially founders. There are also vocal pretenders like Musk. My guess is that the folks who do work really hard are probably the least likely to go around broadcasting that fact. That was my experience, at least.

I was never VC-backed but I did a couple runs (combination of bootstrapped and angel investment) and I worked like crazy all the time. I never really thought about the amount of work I did until after (I was too busy worried about failing). I never discussed the amount of work I did with anyone, especially not publicly, because I never felt like it was anything to brag about (I still feel this way). This post is probably my first public mention of it TBH. :)

> If something might be harmful to my kids, I would ignore what I said earlier and protect my kids first. That's fine but he should at least admit he has been a hypocrite and stop attacking Twitters moderation policies.

Oh I see. You want him to admit out loud. In your world, people are not allowed to update their opinion quietly? I bet even you don't follow that rule.

Yes, but he's not in charge of the largest megaphone on the planet, which Elon Musk has used to previously advertise his stance on the subject. To see him publicly retract that and re-state his new position rather than to have to infer it from his actions would help.

'Quietly updating your opinion' is a right reserved to those that quietly held it in the first place.

No, you're right, it is probably much worse. But time will tell, let's be patient.

I created a website that tracks his plane: www.wheresmusk.com.

Might be beneficial to add flight history and number of times visited over the last 10 years.

I made the website super quickly. I plan to add a lot of functionality.

Don't know. If someone threatened my little kid I'd probably sh*t on moral doxxing reservations, too.

His children are only tools for him. He only cares about them as long as they provide him value.

>Show me on the doll where the Elon touched you.

No really, what makes you believe this?

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. Streisand strikes again

Same here, Mastodon was the one I was waiting for.

Any "nut job activists" can go straight to the same source @elonjets used; https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af . This information is absolutely trivial to find and monitor.

Only if you know about it. How many people actually know about it?

You can get the information in three search queries.

"How can I track someone's plane?

"What is Elon's plane registration number?"

"Website that tracks plane flights by registration numbers"
