Echoing David Sacks, he's now tweeting that the journalists in question were tweeting 'assassination coordinates.'

Starting to think there might be some national security issues with one guy being the nominal linchpin of the US space program, satellite internet, and global public messaging infrastructure.

But aren't the coordinates of his plane public anyways? And wouldn't shutting down ElonJet account be enough, why all these journalists' accounts as well?

Yeah, it was public ADS-B data. A lot of the suspended journalists never even posted his location, they just posted about the situation or the supposed stalker incident.

From what I've read, this is untrue. He has requested a privacy ICAO (https://nbaa.org/aircraft-operations/security/privacy/privac...), and as such the ownership was not public.

The data published was not just ADS-B data, but ADS-B data + content intended to violate the specific privacy ICAO.

I'm not defending Musks actions, simply providing additional context.
