His children are only tools for him. He only cares about them as long as they provide him value.
What an awful thing to claim. Do you have any sources to support this?
Well he joined the rest of the haters so he's allowed to type such horrid things because apparently the internet morale council allowed it..
Re: Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account
#773The thing he actually doesn't want everyone to realise is that he is a dumbass billionaire who goes on costly trips all the time. As soon as the world sees him as the kiddo who happens to have whims and does whatever he want with the mass of money he has (he bought twitter just for fun?), his aura will be over.
It's not about providing info that he flies a lot, but about sharing his live location without consent. Imagine someone kept posting a tweet about your every trip - when you left, when and where you will arrive. Twitter TOS are one thing, but I'm quite sure such things break EU's GDPR laws as well.
A lot of public figures are under scrutiny like this.
You ask others to imagine what it’s like to have location shared without consent. But, you’re ignoring all the shit Elon does as well as all the ways he voluntarily forced himself into the public eye.
Elon wants the luxury of saying and doing anything he wants without accountability. This is a tiny way for the public to push back. No sympathy.

It’s public information… it’s also not his location, it’s the location of his jet

His live location is not being shared. The live location of his plane is.
This info is public in the EU as well, it's mandatory to broadcast it.

He was kinda forced to buy twitter in the end. He made a bid, but then the marketed turned red, and then didn’t want to buy it anymore. Now he is stuck with a company which generates less earnings than the interest costs from the buyout credits. That’s also why he is even firing the kitchen staff and selling their kitchen appliances. He is so desperate for money to keep this company from bankrup. Which is also probab…
That’s like saying “I just bought a house for $4.20 million because I think 420 is a funny number, but now I’m suing the seller because I just realized I can’t afford the mortgage payments because my stock portfolio declined in value after the purchase”
That’s life. No one should have sympathy from Elon for making bad financial decisions. He’s smarter than that.

I don't care about costly trips. I mean, he has billions and works a lot. Spending a million here and million there is pretty frugal compared to some other people who need to prove their worth by upping each other on who has the largest yacht in the world.
What I do care about, though, is hypocrisy.

Instead they merely sell it to advertising companies.

From the sounds of it its a bit more than just posting public flight data. He had people at airports tracking the plane as it was changing its flight code to prevent tracking. That goes beyond using public information and enters into stalking teritory, even if only in a fairy minor way. Not defending the ban, but the context is a bit more complex than posting something off of a public site onto twitter.
Not just that, but the owner of the account offered to take it down for a price. Feels like extortion.
But he didn’t take the money, meaning that at least his intent wasn’t to extort.
Edit: looked this up apparently Elon offered him 5k which he rejected and asked 50k instead. So I guess neither have the moral high ground.
