That not every plane used by musk technically applied, or is able to apply, for a PIA kinda misses the main point. Sweeney )the jet tracker) has proudly claimed himself that he has cracked the PIA and will continue to post musk's location to matter anyone's privacy wishes.

You can't "well akshually," out of the privacy concern here.

I think it's more than fair for him to publish the information... that said, it's also okay for Elon to ban doing such things on Twitter.

It comes down to ease of access, motivation and intent... In the end, Elon doesn't want third parties to disclose the location details of other people. I'm not sure if this would include posting a selfie at a disclosed location with a celebrity in the background.

In the end, I think the message is pretty clear, "don't f*ck with Elon's family."
