Why not extended to every vehicle on the planet including classified army ones.

I guess they are called private jets for a reason.

Like this Boeing C-17A Globemaster that flew around the bay area today at 03:21Z? https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae1461&lat=38.237&lon=-...

Military planes fly with transponders on when they're sharing airspace with civilian aviation.

Thanks for sharing, then someone should get a fighter jet instead.

This page says nothing about what they hope to accomplish by doing this

Are they communists? Unsatisfied Tesla owners? Former twitter employees? I want to know the backstory of this aspiring supervillain.

For me, on safari, ~70% of the viewable page was google advertisements. That’s usually a good sign that they’re trying to make money.

Why is having a website designed to make money an AdSense ToS violation?
Re:Information and Links on Elon Musk's “Falcon Landing LLC”... by ops on Friday December 16, 2022 @11:45AM (#34016730)
There are limits (in their ToS) to the amount of ads you can have on a page, and this was way beyond that limit.

I’ve made this mistake myself :)

“Fixing it” here just means removing some of the ads. I suspect he’ll actually make more money after removing most of the ads.

Thanks.

I suppose the "more money" is that you would expect more conversions as people spend longer on the site and less time clicking away from the ads?

Correct

I don’t know. This obsession with Musk’s whereabouts strikes me as a little dicey. I get it — there are safety rules. And Musk could charter a jet. But I don’t think making the guy a martyr is a good look.

It would be much easier to have sympathy if he wasn’t the one creating the situation himself.

Maybe because I’m the older brother, but I’ve never been a big fan of the “I’m not touching you” game.

Making your movements 1:1 with a particular, trackable (for good reason!) aircraft isn't martyrdom.

He can fly coach like the rest of us if he actually cares.

You don't think there could be a starry-eyed kid tracking Elon's jet because when he grows up he wants to be just like him? I have a relative that listened to aircraft radio when planes flew over his house. He became a pilot. But kids today don't have radios. They have cellphones.

How does this make Musk a martyr? Any attempt on his life solely based on ADS-B data would require apparatuses that will get law enforcement involved long before it becomes a tangible risk.
