Airplanes are different, they all have GPS built in and are all tracked publicly. You can easily view any of this data for any plane. All ElonJet does is tweet it. Plus all the other celebs the dev has a Twitter account for are all still up, just Elon's that's suspended lol.
That's not a great analogy. Nobody "placed" any sort of tracking on his jet. The plane publicly broadcasts its location information out in the open. Somebody just looked at the information and tweeted it.
What I don't understand is how we know what jet he is in specifically. Couldn't he just change jets?
If it's public sale records could he not just have someone else title it, or rent a jet? Seems like there are so many more solutions for privacy here.
Not "nobody" but government. "Congress shall make no law...", oh, shi.., that's different! /s
Of course not, and that is logically consistent with my statements that state I am not a free speech absolutist.
^ This.
I'm okay if you place a GPS location tracker on any hypothetical private jet I own.
Sort of like saying if you have nothing to hide, why should you be afraid of the police? Civil liberties are just a luxury for the innocent?
Why not on your car?
This stuff is already public information. It's not like the twitter author had placed a tracker on Elons planes
If that was a requirement for driving on the road, then yes. Otherwise no.
Planes constantly broadcast their identification and location data on an open channel - you can get a radio dongle for your computer and track every plane around you for miles.
This is being done for all celebrity own jets but only Elon's gets you suspended.
That’s an unrelated question, as Elon’s car was not being tracked.
A car doesn't emit nearly as much as a leer jet. If it was just a matter of 'rich people doing rich things without influencing others', it'd be an entirely different story.
This thread has nothing to do with emissions. It's about privacy and surveillance.
Whataboutism / false equivalence. Besides, that already happens, it's just your iphone / apple tags / android / tesla / phone.
