Elon posted just now saying the reason for this was someone was stalking his child last night thinking it was him and blocked the car.

Very believable.

Of course spouting a load of nonsense about former Twitter employees to the point that they have to evacuate their home is perfectly ok by that same token.

They did not.

"Evacuating" one's home != "having" to evacuate one's home

Oh cool so he'll immediately start acting on all of the other stalkers everywhere too, right? Obviously

The same dude who was the elonjet account has accounts for many other celebrities planes, Bezos, Drake etc. They were all taken down

About 4 hours after the news story broke though. It seemed more like damage control than anything.

I think we can all agree that celebrity stalking via plane tracking apps ought to have been prioritized above all the other safety issues Twitter is still fumbling around on ineffectually.

Not at the same time, only hours later (but still before the policy was scribbled).

How many children can the one guy be following at a time? How does he get between all these different places at the same time?

Is there an elonsjetsjet Twitter account to track elonsjets movements?

What does that have at all to do with posting the already publicly available location of his jet? Seems like a pretty obvious attempt to play on people's emotions and shut down any kind of rational thinking to cover up for Elon just banning people that annoy him.
