    There is a difference between keeping tabs on someone & stalking/harassment.
    I don’t like the Elon jet tracker stuff, I’m more a fan of privacy.

      It’s not stalking though, if he wanted privacy he could fly on a normal commercial plane like everyone else.

      I don’t like it either, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the irony of people who make billions violating our privacy complaining about their privacy being violated with their own tools.

        Not to mention a nice reminder that Elon’s petty fiefdom has its limits.

      do you think billionaires/ruling care about YOUR privacy? cause they don’t. These people enact rules and regulations on us like cattle and then live differently as the world burns. A jet tracker is by far the least we can do to keep tabs on these people who would kill us for pennies (and have) and as mentioned it’s all public info anyway, like it matters though.

      You can track most flights on flightradar24. It’s public information. When I see an interesting plane fly past I look it up on Flight Radar. It’s usually on there unless it’s a small crop dusting plane.

      Elon isn’t a private citizen. He’s a public figure.

      Rules are different. Elon puts himself in the spotlight repeatedly. He doesn’t live a private life. Many of his billionaire cohorts do.

        Even if you are a private citizen, it doesn’t matter. Informations on everyone’s private jets are public information, no matter how “public” of a citizen the owner of the jet is.
