. The suspension comes despite Musk last month tweeting, “My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk.” The @ElonJet account was run by Jack Sweeney, a 20-year-old Florida college student, who used publicly available flight tracking information to build a Twitter bot that tweeted every time Musk’s Gulfstream took off and landed at an airport.
He shared a screenshot of a message he received from Twitter that read: “After careful review, we determined your account broke the Twitter rules. Your account is permanently suspended.” The account’s last post showed Musk’s jet taking off from Oakland, California, on Monday and landing in Los Angeles 48 minutes later. The @ElonJet account had long been a thorn in Musk’s side and had built up more than 500,000 followers on Twitter. The account is still active on Facebook.
Should have took the 5K... you know that ain't right. What are you doing!?
bryanken022 If you can’t understand this, you are beyond help
After the stalking of his son. CNN is crap.
This bloke Musk is a danger to everyone
Where is the FREE SPEECH & INFORMATION Musk promised to promote on Twitter? No one should start anything they cannot sustain please !
Let this be a lesson that you can’t trust a word a billionaire mogul says right after he’s bought a social media platform. Obviously it wasn’t to promote free speech but to censor negative criticism about himself.
We are on free speech. Not encroaching on someone's life. But for God's sake, why would u truck someone
I think he should ban all such accounts that pry on someone's privacy
if you don't follow the company policies you will get suspended, unlike before Elon, Twitter will makeup new rules to ban your account, Trump account is a good example
You guys are supporting very dangerous behaviour. This is very shameful from
The son of China
Rightly so. No one has a right to snoop on other's privacy. Earn by merit and enjoy perks like celebrities. Being jealously criminal is not acceptable.
I think free speech does not include tracking another person's movements just for the heck of it. I support elonmusk decision to cut him off.
Really with all the problems and issues in this country, you share this story! No wonder nobody trust the media, not about truth or the people just your own F'ing agenda and beliefs!
How dare he protect his innocent child from dangerous activists..🤡
Didn’t age well
His safety and his family is first after releasing the Twitter files
Musk’s flight pattern is public knowledge. Him shutting down the kid’s account on here doesn’t mean he can’t post it on another social media or open a new account. Way to own the kid. 🤡
This is what you consider Free Speech, the endangerment of another human being Do you ever stop your nonsense. You are an absolute embarrassment to journalism. I gather they fired a lot of people at CNN, but not enough clearly.
This is old news, keep up with the times.
He protected his family from evil people to avoid an attack or kidnapping but you already know that, nothing to do with freedom of speech, but you like to deceive weak-minded people CNN, spread mediocrity and lies.
I know you have a problem with that. You fake news media. Propagandists.
lol he is also doxxing strangers he claim “attacked” his car without any actual evidence
Free speech. Not: Free tracking.
Does CNN still have a Twitter account?
Doxxing has always been a real issue. Crazy that the account was able to stay open that long.
As it should. That is called stalking. No human on earth wants their location disclosed traveling.
Why not taken $5k and close the account? now they closed it and you missed the offer 🤣
Good for Twitter! Good for Musk
for anyone who talking about protecting his family he is a billionaire and he can afford proper security measures, this Twitter policy updates has nothing to do with his family security
It's all fun and games until the pitchforks come out
Pfft. For the kid's own good, too. Left that out.
Orange Man Bad to Space Man Bad. Your leftist, woke progressive, fascistic rubbish aint working, anymore. Even the moderate left are taking the red pill.
The left is the new dictatorship
That's definitely an account that belongs to Musk's enemies from the Left
After his kid blocked by hatred stalker
The world needs Trump to defeat the leftist evil ideology
Elon Musk: 'I'm a fReE sPeEcH aBsOluTisT' Also Elon Musk:
G😎😎D should SUE for -HARASSMENT -STALKING
It's good, we got eyes in the skies for this shit
It’s doesn’t matter to the guy his account was suspended he will double down In TikTok what is more popular than the failing twitter 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
Just thin skinned ego...
Absolute power...corrupts absolutely. Pay your bills.
😂😂😂 Musk 🤡🤡🤡 free speech? 😂😂😂
Good move!. None need to know what is he doing or going to, he is a private citizen, not a government official
Free speech!!... Unless you're taking the piss out of elonmusk .... Which he so deserves.
The police/state track your license plate at nearly every intersection and overpass. Can’t track elon tho! 😭😭😭😭
Why didn't he take a vote on this? Vox populi, vox Dei, and stuff.
In fact, Twitter has apparently suspended all accounts that use ADS-B to automatically track various flights
It’s a private company now. Get over it!
I agree with Elon. Purposefully doxxing someone shouldn't be allowed. It doesn't matter if it's possible to get the information in other ways.
Aircraft location is public record by law.
It suspended all accounts that tracked planes
How hard could it be to track a plane full of shit?
Nobody has the right to endanger someone's life...especially a public figure!
So what
Stalking isn't free speech you clowns.
So it's fine to suspend accounts when it annoys Twitter leadership. This would mean that the 'Twitter files 🤡' are meaningless. Thanks Elon 👍!
That has nothing to do with free speech, that's everything to do with his own safely!! C'mon CNN
Musk ma rację, lokalizacja w czasie rzeczywistym jest czyms, co najmniej, niestosownym.
So called the “freedom of speech”
Waiting for jack's comments
What about freedom of speech elonmusk?
Is this what Elon's free speech means?
No such thing as free speech.
freedom effects us all , free to track - or free to be private..all have consequencies... i want to critisize politicians but with it comes responsability...opinions effect us all ...remember that next time your angry.
You are not afraid that he will be kidnapped or killed, you do not understand the difference between freedom of speech and the minimum to ensure the survival of his children and his family. What freedom does the position of his plane deprive you of? CNN you will go bankrupt.
Elon musk is a dictator!
he owns the company and has a right to protect his safety as msm legacy media has portrayed him as public enemy 1
And when is CNN going to claim that stalking is a part of free speech?
Na und
I would love that you discuss the 'laptop from hell', and the previous manipulation of Twitter by the woke's, liberals.
Let him have privacy. He deserves it more than most celebrities. He stands fruitfully alone in productivity.
CNN forgot to mention in the headline that they went after Lil Nas X, (he's gay) thinking it was Elon..so, the left should be okay with banning Doxxing since they went after the alphabet group
Funny!!!
It's just going onto a web site bow
Giving someones present location is called doxxing. It gets people hurt, especially if the leftist terrorists get ahold of it.
Why is this newsworthy?
Oops well I thought inciting violence is ok or did that not include tweeps that attacked private accts?
Should Elon Musk Use Stealth? One day he is bombing the Kremlin. Amen
It was a bot. Bots here are not welcome anymore.
Because once a private jet is tracked, it is no longer a private jet. God bless you. Amen
Predators suck!.
That’s a violation of one’s privacy and safety!
good idea for his security
CNN never seemed interested in Twitter when they had their agents embedded there 😎
Crazy it's like Twitter is a private company or some shit
When will you report on his findings about the 2020 election? Never, you're a part of the problem.
I don’t have a problem with this.
Oh, good, Interest—it looks like you will start reporting the Twitter Files?
Censorship
CNN was blind to Twitter files but so keen on some stalker’ Twitter account.
Doxxing people is against ToS and should be.
Elon Trump.
Good idea.
Does it matter?
So …all accounts that share live news (speeches, meetings, congressional hearings, etc) will be shut down?!
Whoo
According to my grad students, it only counts if you saw a nipple
TwitterFiles 2.0
Somebody tracked a car with baby in it and stopped it. That's why Elon Musk stopped tracking. Of course stopping tracking stalking is a good idea.
No freedom here!!
Now, Who’s your Daddy? Lol
God complex metastasising in real time
For doxxingg you clowns
The account is back up. Apparently, Musk boy makes new rules that favors him. Now the kid can track Musk boy on a 24 hr delay. What fun is that *welp*
All of Elon’s supporters: “Let me twist myself into a mental pretzel to explain to you why this is ok after previously ripping Twitter for supposedly muzzling free speech”
Do you blame him?
So much for the platform of free speech.
A lawyer who shares the same floor with Paul Hastings LLP told us that Luc was a total villain who tried to avoid the law to enrich himself by some means in his work. And if anyone dares to speak against Paul Hastings, they will target and track those individuals.
So it was never about free speech, elonmusk?
You don't need a Twitter account to track it. Anyone with basic OSINT knowledge can do it easily
That’s fair
He owns it!
Tracked his car. Not his jet.
This gets more coverage than the fact that an fbi agent had an office at Twitter and suppressed the 1st amendment fight if the sitting president. What a hack of a news channel
I don't blame him, way too many cult followers out there consuming opioids!!
CNN, u HYPOCRITE!! Lets have Facebook track Zuckerberg's plane?
This story is another pathetic one.. If one understands the real meaning of the 1st amendment. I suspect followers here do not understand much and are being used against a real man once again. Pathetic.
He's in real danger
This didn’t age well.
So much for transparency and freedom
Invasion of privacy - as tracking the plane of a private citizen clearly is - has nothing to do with free speech. I don’t get how real-time tracking if a private plane, let alone publicizing it, isn’t illegal!
No free speech.
Authoritarianism.
So
duh, had I bought Twitter I would have done that on Day One.
Well done!
Such actions if not regulated or prohibited could pose danger especially if it falls to wrong hands.
I would do the same. Some people hate him for uncovering all the lies.
you clearly just reported it was a bot account. He is eliminating bots. That alone is enough.
Stalking somebody who has been threatened, is a safety issue
This is breaking news?
Violation of privacy is unacceptable and shall be prosecuted!!!
What’s interesting is major news networks didn’t cover Twitter doing anything. They canceled people daily with nothing. They deleted accounts and blocked people and still nothing. Now all of a sudden their agenda is being attacked and they’re up to date on Musks bathroom habits
This is old. The acct is back.
But he don't have problem attacking Firing fbi-agents an cozy up Jan6 terrorists killed injury law enforcements
That's necessary after threat to be suicided
Free speech is only free speech if Elon likes it.
Seems like a legit reason for security purposes.
if only you reported this hard when the far left suspends accounts on social media
So much for freedom!
Good for him. It's about safety and the right to protect yourself!!
~ back today after a week suspension for writing that i hope what everyone hopes for putin… i always enjoy the break cuz i know i overdo everything anyway.😬
What would YOU do if it was you that was being tracked?
Right termination
Musk only likes freedom of speech for himself. In that sense, he’s like most conservatives.
Good 👍🏻
Why is this news?
Why is this news?
Seems prudent!
Tracking someone is stalking, it has nothing to do with free speech,
Not just Musk jet but Bill Gates and Jeff bezos as well! Get your facts and news right CNN!
!●■☆◇□¿
I’m sure these journalist at cnn would be glad if Elon took down people posting their destinations. I can’t believe these people think they are unbiased when truly they are trying to bring harm to anyone close to Elon or Elon himself. If you can’t win, play dirty!
Is the account that tracks Jeff Bezos’ plane suspended too?…
We’ll done. His security is at stake
Sweet cherry picking CNN
He’s all about free speech until it involves anything about him 🤣🤣🤣
This is no different than Alex jones getting crazy conspiracy theorists to stalk and terrorize the sandy hook families. All accomplished through online gateways. The dude tracking his jet is directly responsible for putting his and his family’s lives in danger
Why would he tell ppl where he is at all times.
Cam_Bom Stalking is not free speech
the real reason the cry-baby wasted 44BN.
Well good
Liberals thought the Nancy pelosi stock trading account was bad… but sharing someone’s location is fine? What?
Great!!!
That’s not free speech. That’s semi stalking
Good !!!
Lmao free speech
That is not free speech that is invasion of privacy and the guy was tracking elonmusk
How about an account that tracks the hospital staff that does trans procedures on children? Would that be okay, or are they sacred cows? CNN = 🤡🤡🤡
Do as I say…
Any interest to report Hunter’s laptop files?
His private jet, his private social media service - it’s logical!
Good!
What a baby. If it's about safety suspend all of them. But the one tracking Bezos for example by the same user is still up. But sure he's all about free speech 🤨🙄
So all of a sudden the media cares who is getting banned from twitter 🤣
this is hypocrite he keeps saying freedom of speech but when it comes to talk about his life, suspend, suspend, suspend account... Lol elonmusk spell hypocrite?
What a stupid notion.. obviously that’s a security risk. The news is false information peddling fascists conglomerate that spreads panic and skewed narratives.
Tracking someone, can be Stalking someone… Who wants that.. Look up in the Websters Dictionary, to see if “Tracking ,someone,”is the same as “Free Speech”…
This seems like a really good thing to do. Legacy media's (including CNN) campaign of criticism against him has increased the threats he has received.
Wow! Musk doesn't like to be tracked and how much gas he had used on private jets.
They should suspend cnn next for misinformation and fake news
You’ll report on this but not the Twitter Files? Lol.
Smart move
Just curious - would anyone in these comments want to be tracked and have it posted online? Exactly!
So in the article states the kid made a 'bot' account to track the aircraft could that be the reason account was banned...since they are cracking down on Bot accounts?...js
Freedom of speech! Unless you’re being mean about elonmusk The account that posted the video of him being booed was also suspended.
So much for championing free speech
Free speech, he said, trust him
It's always a freedom to them until it affects them therefore becoming a security issue!
That’s Right! what does stalking have to do with FreeSpeech?
It's about time!
Oh, I guess when it's his behind on a sling, 'freedom of speech' can take a back seat.
cNN has become a backward media/news company. They used to be respectable, now people even watch WIONews
He opened the Twitter files so everyone knows how influenced your politics and science is. But you are not interested in the Facts, you do your propaganda, submitted to a guy from the FBI like at Twitter, facebook, google, etc...? Prepare for dictatorship under cover of humanism.
What !!! From the great 'freedom of speech' defender !! It's the MAGA zombies-conservatives that will find it hard to justify !!
Stocking on someone seems ok to the leftists?
If you are unhappy with Twitter why dont you just scram.
Talk about freedom.
Thank God you are vigilant
the real reason he bought it
He defends free speech everybody, the free speech of nazis... But tracking his jet is too much, a society cannot be free speech absolutist after all.
Why would someone want to track someone's plane, 🤔 odd very odd.
'Twitter is a private company, they can do whatever they want. If you aren't happy go make your own social media platform.' - every leftist everywhere when right wing folk complained about unfair treatment. All i can say is: Lol. Lmao even. Vaporware salesman strikes again.
He's hiding the location of his secret lair in some uncharted island.
Shocking!
🙌Do you want views/subscribe/like/monetize your youtube video? 👉 I'm Here to Help you:
It is his website now. I would block my enemies too. Also I would block all people with different opinion. Just like rainbow flag people do.
Can’t blame him. Now that the left has some sort of agenda against him; it’s only a matter of time before some deranged soyboy shows up outside his house in the bushes, alá Kavanaugh guy.
Sharing public information is protected by free speech, but not according to Elon
Free speech, yes, of course ! But deliberately tracking down somebody has NOTHING to do with free speech. On contrary, the tracked one MUST understand that as a direct threat to own life or health. In EU, tracking somebody is called 'stalking' and highly illegal.
Using the flightradar24 or something can receive the A-DSB signal you can also track some private jet.
freedom of speech according to elon
So y'all saying he bought twitter to just remove this one account that has been tracking his flight all this long damn that's some statement making
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Zелон Vаск
Worth the billions to shit can a stalker tool
Il a raison ….
What happened to his commitment to free speech? 🤷
That's why he bought Twitter
Yikes it’s getting real now! Why would any sane person want to publicly disclose Musks location other than to harm or harass & that’s over the line ไบร์ทตู TwitchRecap
But elonmusk promised bot is ok according free speech.
Any man from the United State or united kingdom should add me up at Snapchat shakka_fernader for Meetup or facetime video call an so bored
Tracking of location and making it public is dangerous to life and privacy of a person. It’s an offence in many countries. The accounts is rightly suspended.
How is tracking someone’s whereabouts free speech? It’s a security issue.
Does Twitter have a tracking function? I'm new to this kind of technology. Thank you
You still can Track elonmusk ✈️ in mastodon MastodonSocial mastodonmigration elon ElonMuskSquareAss
Free speech isn’t doxxing people.
I'm a freelance QA Engineer. And I've been working for the past 3 years. Want your website and (iOS/Android) application tested by a professional also do you need test cases to be written. Then check out my gig for extremely low rates
Good. Tracking aviator flight paths for someone facing death threats seems like a viable reason. Being conservative is not a viable reason 😉
For savety reasons.
Nothing like stability & reliably to encourage advertisers to stay on the platform.
So much to free speech elonmusk
The Twitter “IS” ELon Musk , Daaa🤷🏼♂️😉
Free Speech for everyone!
Musk didn't buy Twitter for 'free speech'. That was always and obvious lie.
