Another victory for freedom of speech
from the land of the free.

That's not likely to lead to the details of the plane and how to track it being widely spread is it
presumably it can't be easy but it does sound like the sort of thing that streisand spotter effect might result in

You can track the transponder on various websites
Taking the data for that plane and posting on twitter is a bit more effort but could potentially be automated. Depends how human readable you want it really.

They have APIs
Which allow automated queries, enabling automated posts/tweets of movement

Yes, we can't have widely-followed accounts tweeting things that might lead to criminal damage or death, can we?

Transponder data is freely available
in real time to anyone who wants it.
If you need to wait for a spotty teenager to post the information on twitter before performing unspecified nefarious acts you are an amateur.

bit more to it, he's taking the effort to track and collate individual planes
which would be a pain to do yourself. but yeah, it aint exactly hacking the pentagon

I’m having trouble connecting the ADSB tracker
to an attempted hijack of his car.
He strikes me as likely to be using a Model S, probably in black, almost certainly with a vanity plate saying ELON 1.

He could buy an airline and use any of the planes randomly as his private jet
Then to offset the carbon footprint plant a forest on Mars

He can't though
because all of his "wealth" is in "shares".
You think he might actually try and manage Twitter better to make money, especially as he owes Qatar, a Saudi Prince, a couple of investment firms and the stop-the-vote lad from Oracle a most of the money.
Rather he should just borrow their jets too.

Are you suggesting the blue tick money isn't going to propel him back to the top of the world rich list?

A greenhouse on Mars is what he should stay focussed on.
All his side projects (electric cars, tunnelling, even that brain chip crap) used to seem relevant to that main goal.
Fucking twitter and the culture wars seem to have deranged him. The guy needs to just stfu and hide for a couple of years.

Suspect he's not going anywhere interesting
The bi-monthly trip to the ex-wife's house to take the kids who are still talking to him to McDonalds is probably the highlight
