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
My guess is the story is completely made up or staged.
No way

I don't think that's relevant past the point where Musk is on the record as saying that because he's such a champion of free speech he's not going to ban the account.
This is the root of it all for me. I’m not against banning the account for doxxing Musk, as it would be fair to ban in other similar cases. That won’t stop me saying he’s a hypocrite for doing so. Does he feel so strongly about accounts doxxing “the libs?”

Sweeney's personal account has also been suspended: https://twitter.com/jxcksweeney Some additional info: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/14/elonjet... > On Wednesday evening, the account was briefly restored, with Twitter outlining new rules seemingly designed to prevent Sweeney from posting the real-time locations of planes used by Musk and other public figures as long as he included a slight dela…
> 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?
Especially since it is claimed the @elonjet account hadn't tweeted for 48 hours before the incident - difficult indeed to claim causation.

Why not? He is CEO, he owns the jets. If he wants to take a 1 hour meeting in person in another state that is his call. If people have a problem with the carbon footprint they should be promoting all around higher energy use taxes. Not using a strawman against someone they hate.
Certainly it's his perogative and he's free to do what he wants. If I had as many businesses as he does, I would think a teleconference would be a more efficient use of my time, rather than the time spent physically traveling somewhere.

This is complete idiocy. Celebrities and billionaires don't get special speech rights. There are very good reasons all aircraft are tracked publicly. If Elmo's plane ever goes down or gets hijacked he might appreciate why. According to Twitter's new "policy" any person who takes a picture of someone in front of the Eiffel tower or any recognizable place can be accused of doxxing and banned.
> This is complete idiocy. I think calling someone an idiot is against HN policy...but, what do I know, I am obviously an idiot. That said. OK, well, let's publish everyone's travel plans. Name, flight, seat, from/to, etc. Make the system 100% open to for anyone to see who is travelling, where and when. You know, so folks profiting from breaking into homes while people are travelling can be more efficient in their sc…
This is the definition of concern trolling on Elon's part, and you're carrying water for his bad faith arguments in favor of restricting the republishing of information that is free and open to the public by design. I don't think you even really understand the implications of what you're saying.

I wonder how does Elon expect any journalist to follow these rules? Big chunk of information from press is reporting on public figures location and sometimes this include reporting in real time.
"Content that shares location information related to a public engagement or event, such as a concert or political event, is also permitted."
