It may be public information but how easy is it for the common Joe to look up a specific person's flight information?

I'm genuinely curious because if it takes a few steps and knowing a couple of bits of information then maybe that is a problem. I mean, the FAA records or wherever they're getting the information doesn't have it labeled "Elon's Jet", does it?

The Twitter account likely makes it dead simple for any bloke off the street to know where it is.

How would I know "N628TS" is Elon's jet?

Well that doesn't answer the question. Figuring out who owns that particular jet, and or what it's license number is is not obvious. One more step down the line. How would a normal person know who owns "FALCON LANDING LLC". Point is, unless you read the ElonJet account, most normies would have a hard time figuring out all of this. Just because it's public information doesn't mean it's easy to find for normal people. That account is Doxxing, plain and simple. But you guys are welcome to keep defending it I guess.

It’s the downside of being a rich a-hole with a private jet:

The public owns the airspace and if you fly through it you need to register yourself.

Quit carrying water for the billionaires, they don’t need the help.
