Except they're not tracking the person, it's the private jet
Said individuals could take other forms of transport without being tracked

thing is elon would never be interested in this stuff if it wasn't his own personal jet.
if someone was tracking someone he didn't like, he would be making memes about it

for sure, in so many ways he's actually worse than trump and kanye when it comes to ego
still dont understand why that type of info is public though, what use could someone outside of air traffic/search and rescue would actually have for it besides malicious intent?

Aviation geeks are a huge community.
You can sign up for flight radar etc. and track almost any plane. People do it for plane spotting etc.

^ that info can be found anywhere though. You go to the carriers website and you’ll have an updated arrival time. That’s not the info these people want
The upgraded trackers are tracking specific planes, specific call signs. Mostly for unique liveries etc. but also for planes which get diverted, unique models, etc.

Why doesn't Elon buy 10 private jets, get them all to leave one after another to different locations and then no one will truly know where he's going. It's gross that he's rich enough to do that but seems like better use of his money than buying Twitter.

I’m sure he could and just under various numbered companies where no one would ever know who’s in them so I don’t really get the whole deal with tracking this one.
It’s not like you’d ever figure out who was flying them either because PJ’s always check in to private facilities like Millionair in Vancouver so outside of an employee there reporting when Elon arrived you can maintain pretty good anonymity

How the hell do you actually track someone's flight ??!! Are flight manifests/passenger names public information in real-time?
While I think it is petty of Musk to ban that college kid ... I agree that you should not be able to track someone's flight. I mean the stalking can be so effed up.

I never used twitter or got the point of it. Just a bunch of boomers trying to internet or companies doing their pr advertising. I don't know of anyone who actively would follow or use Twitter.
And yea besides war, was this the biggest burn of money ever? For 45 billion couldn't he solve world hunger like he said a while back, clone dinosaurs, make Jurassic park? Cure cancer? Just saying there's a lot more productive, fun things you can do for that much money.

Well it’s not like the newest worlds richest man is any better lol
If you want to look at misspent money that could be doing better elsewhere, he’s kind of the all-time poster boy along with his consumers

The car company was never worth 400$, and it's not worth 150$ today
Once it hits 70$ will be more reasonable, 40$ will be real value
People are buying Elon, not Tesla, and a doubled money supply helped with that temporarily for 2 years

Or maybe it was the Thailand cave thing where he called someone a pedo because they didn't want to use his idea to save the kids.

It hasn't been hidden for much longer than that, the cave thing in 2018 was the first one I remember hearing about but I don't follow the guy at all. If you look back though there's been tons of stuff over the years, it just gets more publicity now.

Musk and Jarrod kushner at the world cup finals together. https://www.google.com/search?q=musk...zIZTGp2v3EPfcM
Also musk is looking for more investors at the original share price of $54.20.
