The wave of bans from the muskjet thing has been quite dramatic.

It'll be interesting to see if the people who've been lauding musk for his supposedly pro free speech attitudes will reckon with what's been happening in actuality, or if they'll just accept this as "freedom for me but not for thee".

I think he was legit shaken by the incident with the kook stalker and his son. Which is certainly understandable. People need to dial the hate way down. Way, way down.

And the rule change was quite clear that linking to the jet tracking was prohibited.

That all said, he's gone too far here. And it's an unwinnable fight anyway.

So what would banning a jet tracking account have to do with a stalker (for which no police report was filed)? And why ban journalists? In addition, the rule change was just to enable the banning of the jet tracking, not because it was it came from some higher sense of duty.

From what I can gather and infer, a couple of days ago Musk's son got off the jet and into a car, then that car was attacked by a stalker looking for Musk himself. Musk believes that the stalker got the information from the ElonJet Twitter account.

It was days after and nowhere near the airport. And again, no police report filed. You were dooped.

Location of the jet was shared in real-time to my understanding, checking with the link given on https://grndcntrl.net/falconlanding/

> And again, no police report filed. You were dooped.

I see a video of the supposed stalker in a balaclava. I do think Musk took the opportunity to get rid of something he already disliked, but I don't yet believe he faked the attack if that's what you're implying.

The incident happened in a car…days after. The location is for the jet… that’s the price you pay for a private jet using public air space.

I believe the car was followed from the jet (possibly after the car dropped off Musk, or collected Musk's son from Musk), which was at Los Angeles International Airport earlier that day.

The car itself doesn't have a live tracker, so it seems less likely that someone dressed up in all black balaclava/gloves would find it otherwise - if it's even a known car at all.

> days after

Days after what?

> that’s the price you pay for a private jet using public air space.

A stalker attacking the car containing your 2-year-old son is NOT just a price to pay.

You’re missing that the incident in question was days after the jet landed at the airport. DAYS. There was no following from earlier that day.

My statement of price to pay was public jet location information using public airspace. This is the case for everyone. It was done for years and there’s no evidence it was a factor in the incident here despite many trying to find an excuse after the fact.
