>But tracking a flight like this on a regular basis to this intrusive a level strikes me as downright creepy and personally invasive.

Yeah, people are saying "it's public info about a public figure", but I'm pretty sure that we could imagine all sorts of creepy-yet-legal digital gang-stalking that one can do, similar to how doxxing is legal but nearly-universally frowned upon. Not to say that the account should have been banned, but I don't see this as just harmless fun like others seem to.

Sometimes I feel like these public figures should be tracked even more - like who has been on Epstein's flight / island and should get a hard drive check.

In theory the various intelligence services and the FAA have this information, but it's not acted on.

He took the company private to promote his politics. There have been lies about free speech for as long as there has been speech. Can we stop clutching our pearls over this reactionary being, gasp, dishonest?

What does this have to do with what I said? If someone had punched Elon on the street and I had said "hey maybe that's not cool", would you be posting this same reply? Must bad, therefore the gloves are off?

Ok I’ll reframe. The speech doesn’t have to cause harm under new moderation rules, it’s all this guy’s toy. Nobody is punching Musk not even with a fire extinguisher

And the private company perma-banned the guy.

Funny because the legacy content moderation did take harm into account and the new rules line is whether a rich dude takes offense.
