It is pretty common for private planes to be removed from Flight Radar and other websites - the FAA allows owners to request this and publishes a list for companies to consume.. it was likely gone from there for a long time. But the data is still broadcast as the plane flies and some sources don't filter them out such as ADSB Exchange (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/)

This is so similar to a "snafu" that Travis County, Texas (Austin), committed for several years: certain VIP citizens (e.g. elected officials) could have their property records removed from public tax databases (for privacy), but then published the list of people requesting this removal (with the address in cleartext).

OOps.

I mean, that's one hell of an about face from his November 6th tweet.
