Have you ever changed your mind about something?

Elon doesnt like this info being shared on twitter. He never has and I wouldn't either even though this can be seen on tracking websites. He just doesn't want it on twitter. He begged the previous twitter owners to ban it so it's not like it's "now suddenly an issue for him".
So free speech is only ok until you change your mind? Either he is a free speech absolutist or he is not.

He is absolutely ok with all the lies trump spread about the election but share freely available information and you get suspended.

He thinks his personal privacy is more important than the American democratic process? I suppose that's typical billionaire thought process.

How's it suddenly a problem? Musk even promised he'd let the kid carry on. It's funny how what he decides is the current issue is automatically what his lemmings baaaa along with.

Elon probably thought it was a problem before he owned Twitter, but couldn't do anything about it. Also even if it has suddenly become an issue, this is just due to The Cathedral - i.e. left-wing MSM - whipping their lemmings for a few months now with their wholly negative coverage.

The kid had a tiny account that picked up something like 50 000 followers *after* QElon's won't-ban-ElonJet tweet, but do tell me more about amplification, Chris.
Amplification is amplification. Tell me what is more likely - 50 000 people tracking Elon's jet on Flightracker or 50 000 reading ONE tweet about Elon's flight?

How about all those people across multiple platforms all following his jet around now? He seems to have made the issue worse rather than better. Par for the course for him right now.

Can't quantify and I don't play the conservative, 'likely', 'might', 'possibly', 'could' hypothetical game.

In the actual here-and-now there are way, way more browser users than twitter users, and all you need to track his Gulfstream is a browser.

Can't find anything now, I'm sure I read it somewhere though. Maybe I'm thinking of that money offer.

But the point is he has always had an issue with it so it's not something new.

"left" new boogeyman confirmed

Not like somebody might just ransom a billionaire's kid obviously,nope. THOSE DAMN DEMOCRATS ARE THE ROOT OF EVIL. It's cute though,Elon says 1 thing and you reds get instant erections and retweet furiously

Hitler must have been a "democrat"

you can let your russian handlers know you are playing your
Makes a good point, Musk wanted twitter to be about journalism, flight tracking plays a crucial part in that including flight tracking in real time.

Lol yeah maybe if you are writing for some celebrity tabloid.

Amazing how evasive you become when flaws in your thinking are pointed out!

I check-mated you because you don't like the answer. Gotcha!

Your number of browsers is as usual a complete red-herring. The correct population size is how many are on the various flight tracking websites and are following Elon's flight...
