    All of these comments wishing death upon Elon.

    All because of a gesture that’s been misconstrued. The moral and tolerant left, they say lolol

      Sorry that 4 Chan went down but you can still fuck right off from here.

      Maybe Kiwi Farms is accepting new Edge Lords.

      You mean the guy who called the cave diver a pedo before all this?

      And who brought “freedom” to twitter?

      And now he’s running enforcement on trumps plan to turn the us into a dictatorship.

      I don’t wish death on him, but my not liking him happened before the Nazi solute.

      Even if you took the Nazi solute out, it’s fairly clear he’s not a good person

    The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset

    Wasn’t it part of why he acquired Twitter to shut down the account? The account later moved to Mastodon.

    • Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Nah, he just purchased the world’s biggest megaphone from which he could propel his ketamine fuelled opinions into the deep uncaring void of the internet.

    • rustbuckett@lemmings.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I remember him getting really mad about his plane being tracked. Didn’t know it was on Twitter.

      • Fedizen@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It was. Think he banned the account for “doxxing”

    Why would I want to track his jet though?

      Air traffic information is already publicly available. The author of the bot simply scrapes data for Elon’s Jet. You can use websites like FlightAware, Flightradar24, and PlaneLogger that provide real-time tracking of flights, including private jets. You can also search for specific aircraft or view flights in a particular area. I remember shortly after Elon bought Twitter he got the account suspended.

        and worth noting that by “publicly available” here, it’s not like it’s published on some FAA API: ADS-B is broadcast from all aircraft, and anyone can receive its data… these services run by networks for regular members of the public contributing the data from their ADS-B receivers

        Except the commercial aggregators have all started filtering the data of specific planes on request - you won’t find Elon’s or Swift’s ADSB data on popular sites/apps like FlightAware or Flightradar24. (I’m not familiar with PlaneLogger). Open source aggregators like OpenSky or ADSB Exchange will have them though, but the UIs of those sites are far less polished and have fewer features.

        source
    • arakhis_@feddit.org ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      like a global map with filters by business sector, flight reason, etc

      man this would be sick hehe

  • circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.

    source
    • pupbiru@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      ADS-B is public broadcast though… if you’re in range of the plane, you can pick up its air traffic control data (elevation, speed, heading, registration, etc)… services like flight radar 24 don’t work on FAA data: they are a huge network of regular people across the globe with ADS-B receivers contributing everything they see

      source
      • schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think the above user was referring to this: faa.gov/…/faa-moves-protect-aircraft-owners-priva…

        They are no longer making the information public which aircraft belongs to whom, so in the future you might no longer know that any given aircraft belongs to Elon Musk or any other celebrity. You can still track it, but you won’t know what aircraft to track.

      I thought they just slightly obfuscated it, but bc the importance of tail numbers for safety, they can’t do so completely. I’d love a complete explanation from someone knowledgeable.

      source
      • aramova@infosec.pub ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Just months until they apply the Steve Jobs rule to tail numbers.

        Lease a new private jet every 3 months and you don’t need plates, or tail numbers.

      The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.

      source
  • pupbiru@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    adding so it’s archived in as many places as possible:

    the reg is N628TS, and you can track it with any ADS-B service

    ADS-B is broadcast from the plane, and able to be picked up by any in-range receiver… services like flight radar 24 aggregate many receivers across the world run by ordinary people

    He already thought about that, and he’s having body doubles, other jets…

    I don’t have any source for this, but c’mon the guy is a military contractor, he works for/with the government (Not Trump or Biden), and they gonna guard him like an asset… like all governments do… the US government doesn’t have any problem with that account… It’s an Internet joke to them…

    But hey… If it gets on Elon’s fragile little ego… I’m all in for it… :D
