Elon Musk is taking legal action against the operator of the ElonJet account

Most billionaires can afford and can pay for bodyguards with them so this really isn't an issue (unless they are paid extremely low and turn on you)
If you don't want your plane to be tracked, just rent and switch private jets instead of owning one.
This is just Elon getting upset and over exaggerating that he just bans anyone he doesn't like. Very immature.
What has changed from two weeks ago to now that suddenly this has become an issue? The fact that Elon Musk now perceives he was affected by it. The security threat has not changed whatsoever since the account started tweeting the location of his jet, which btw, is publicly available so any motivated individual would still be able to find it and track it.
It really feels like Elon is just going about things as he personally feels rather than applying a robust ethical and moral framework to his decisions. Not that I expected anything else, but this definitely might feel stressful and awful to this poor guy who iirc is like a 17-18 year old anyway?
But two weeks ago ‘abusive’ tracking using public info was still against the ToS.
Now the policy is clearer.
1) Is ignoring that he asked for demotion of this account before the incident after saying he wasn't going to
2) He often lies about details and reasons for his decisions. Like saying the booing was because of a fight on the show we had video for.
3) There is zero correlation presented so far to this account being related to this attack
4) The ban comes too soon after a policy change without recourse, the account could for instance only post location changes with weeks delay, etc.
TBH, Im ok with limiting tracking of location but this guy is one of the richest man in the world and very public, there is public interest in knowing where he flying those jets to (he can still rent/lease, hide in whatever organisation structure he wants).
The policy is also not clear about what do to on exceptions and will not be equally enforced. "Elon is doing a show right now with dave Chappele at the X arena". Is this a violation? What kind of gray areas can be assumed will depend on how he interprets, etc. It doesn't really matter, it's his playground now, but it's hypocritical for him and he deserves to hear shit for it.
I am aware he mentioned it was a threat to his safety two weeks ago. Demotion happening a few hours before the announcement of the attack shouldn't be relevant.
2) He often lies about details and reasons for his decisions. Like saying the booing was because of a fight on the show we had video for.
Haven't heard of this, post the video.
> 3) There is zero correlation presented so far to this account being related to this attack
This is true, it's not directly related as far as we know, but people seem to hate Elon for some odd reason and he deserves the same level of privacy your and I do.
> 4) The ban comes too soon after a policy change without recourse, the account could for instance only post location changes with weeks delay, etc.
It was always against ToS to use public data for abusive purposes, the clarification is good. But I actually agree with this point - make the change then give accounts a few days to comply.
> TBH, Im ok with limiting tracking of location but this guy is one of the richest man in the world and very public, there is public interest in knowing where he flying those jets to.
No he deserves the same level of privacy you or I do. Rich people or other people that are disliked don't stop having rights. The delay satisfied the public interest question.
Honestly, I think he’s just acting like a prototypical self-proclaimed rationalist.

This is rather hypocritical of Caraballo, who was called out just a couple of days ago while a witness in a House hearing for his own inciteful tweets, such as this one attacking Supreme Court Justices: "It is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public."
Perhaps he should take his own advice.
Just bog him down in legal stuff like this and Tesla will throw him out since he is a liability.
He is too stupid to have learned anything from this though.
Suppressing all dissent of the left and right because any single nut follows a particular cause would stop any cause from being discussed. Also Fauci did fund gain of function research and it’s reasonable to want to investigate that but that’s besides the point.
That will take a while to compile the list. And I assume you really understand what it is. So what is your exact problem with it.
Based on your answers to questions so far I am doubting you even know what it is. Someone just told you it was bad and now you want to draw attention to yourself.
Stop trying to turn this into an argument against science rather than an argument in favour of investigating ethical misconduct. It’s transparent, everyone knows you’re doing it, and it’s bot effective.
