The guy was masked, wearing gloves, and in a rental car. It seems like there was some intent to do something worth hiding. Yeah, he is nuts but it's hard to ignore that detail. What are the chances that someone prepares like that and just happens to run into someone this high profile at a gas station?

I'd say it's a stretch to say the guy just happened to run into them.

It's also a stretch to say this had anything to do with Elon Jet.

I suggest reading the claims from the guy in the article in the OP as well. After doing so, I came to a conclusion that is much closer to yours than that of the headline.

The guy claims that Grimes sends him coded messages through instagram, that Elon tracks his location at all times and blocks his Uber Eats deliveries, and says that he was also in the area (which he was aware was where Grimes lived) for some business with Grimes. If this isn't indicative of stalking, then idk what is.

But it indeed seems to be unconnected to ElonJet tracker website.

I imagine you could replace "of Jet Account Helping His Stalker" with most anything he's said and you'd have an accurate headline.

Looks like Musk has released enough information to help "stalkers" locate Grimes location. Seems kind of counter productive.

This is the second most awful lie in which he has used his family as a meatshield.
