Like broadcasting his mother's funeral on live television? Ban the BBC!

Obviously there are times when the rich and famous know that their location is public. At those times they generally have good security.

One is a public setting, the other is inside a private airplane.

Flying in public airspace, using public ATC, and broadcasting its location, speed, and altitude publicly via radio.

Even Air Force One shows up on ADSBexchange when it's in the air. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfdf8

Agreed, but posting passenger manifest that isn’t available wasn’t a good idea.

No one was posting passenger manifests of Elon's jets.

Again, the account didn't post passenger manifests. It posted publicly available ADS-B data, automatically. You can review the source, if you like: https://github.com/Jxck-S/plane-notify

The data comes from https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af. You'll see no passenger list there.

This is where we expect another truth drop … from Elon.

Because, it happened.

A truth drop?

Are you ok? Your replies are really weird behaviour.

Musk is lying. The data broadcast by his ADS-B system is publicly available.

Ironically this information is broadcast for safety, but it is deanonymised because he is specifically using a private ICAO.
