2. Said picture of a car was location-traced by someone involved with Bellingcat to be extremely far away from any nearby airports; Musk suggests that someone was tailgating the car in question from the airport if I recall, but this would be absurd and not really possible given the distance. If the incident happened to begin with, it was most likely unrelated to ElonJet. He's blatantly using an incident with his child to ban an account he personally doesn't like.
To be clear, it's his full right to do this, but there's some irony in how the guy bloviating about free speech absolutism for weeks on end changes tune to "only the speech I like" the second he finds an excuse to do so.
Also going after journalists reporting on this is pathetic, not to mention shows a blatant disregard for freedom of the press, and as history has shown us time and time again, getting a journalist to shut up tends to just make them more vocal because of the Streisand Effect. More people than ever know about ElonJet than before he banned it and his repeated attempts to prevent people from linking to Mastodon.social and other big Mastodon instances because that's where the ElonJet guy went have only caused more reporting on it.
