Except they're not tracking the person, it's the private jet

Said individuals could take other forms of transport without being tracked

unit 12-17-2022 08:50 AM

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

twitchyzero 12-17-2022 10:35 AM

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.

One example: If I am supposed to pick someone up from the airport on an incoming flight, and there was a delay while in the air (bad weather, diverted to alternate airport, circling because runway is too busy, etc.) and they don't have wifi to communicate this delay to me, I will see the updated estimated arrival time so I can better time when to leave for the airport.

Hondaracer 12-17-2022 11:12 AM

^ 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.

Hondaracer 12-17-2022 11:47 AM

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.

He was tracking his private plane not the person.

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. :pokerface:

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.

unit 12-17-2022 12:07 PM

if you don't use it then why do you think its just boomers and corporations? you'd be wrong there..

Hondaracer 12-17-2022 12:08 PM

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

You don't own the libs by doing things they want, like helping others. You burn your car company to the ground by fighting with trolls online.

donk. 12-17-2022 03:44 PM

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

TBF, he hid his lunacy pretty well until about a year ago.

I may be wrong, but it seemed to happen before our eyes on that first Joe Rogan appearance. 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.

SkinnyPupp 12-17-2022 09:27 PM

Here he goes again


Reposting this again for no particular reason


underscore 12-17-2022 10:21 PM

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.

SkinnyPupp 12-18-2022 02:09 PM

Trying to get the FTC to step in?

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.

SkinnyPupp 12-18-2022 03:11 PM

Please stay Elon! This is too entertaining, everyone go vote no!


He then posted


He really is about to shut down twitter LOL

donk. 12-18-2022 03:30 PM

Why do I feel like he is going to make Dogecoin the head of twitter if he steps down

twitchyzero 12-18-2022 03:59 PM

definitely the thailand diver pedo comment then it all went downhill from there
