That account doesn't even track Musk's jet, it just uses the data any civilian aircraft has to transmit regularly while in flight. That data is easily available on the internet.

Exactly. Elon bans an account for posting publicly available inconvienient facts. Twitter is dead.

The true irony is: publishing flight records is protected under the first amendment, according to a US supreme court decision made back in 1979.

When you are no boring average Joe with three credit cars that all are overdue, but a wealthy man that is 190 bn coins heavy, you have a very different and far more more serious reason to be concered about situational updates on your family's exact locations and movements and positions being made all too easily available to a wide public. Its not as if kidnapping or assassination are just words and have never been seen done in reality. And being wealthy to such degrees as Musk is wealthy, are a very strong incentive for criminals to attack him, blackmailing him.

I am no fan of Musk, and I cannot stand this guy, though respecting some of his business success: success proves him right (and failures prove him wrong, of course). But Musk simply protects his family here. If I were in his place, I would have done the same.

That's nonsense. Data like that is easily available, there's quite a number of people whose private aircraft are being tracked like this, and it's been done for years, if not decades.
