As far as I’m aware, journalists were only referencing ElonJet, which, as OP established, is only re-publishing already public information.
Despite this, even if you want to somehow argue that it’s against the rules, I reject that claim as well. Twitter’s policies[1] explicitly allow “location information related to commercial property or places of business, where this information is publicly available,” and all of “Elon’s” jets are owned by commercial entities.
Edit: citations showing “his” jets are owned by an LLC:

IIRC, the rules were changed the day the account was banned, which means that the people who were banned never actually agreed to them, merely to a standard rules agreement that has a clause "we can change our rules at any moment and you can do jack-shit about that."
