Elon Musk’s Twitter Censored @ElonJet
A sad truth for people who can afford their own planes is flight records are public, by law. One enterprising Twitter user set up a robot called @ElonJet that tweeted the comings and goings of Musk’s private plane. Understandably, Musk didn’t like this, but he defended @ElonJet’s right to tweet as an example of his commitment to free speech on Twitter. Then he changed his mind.
Reportedly, Twitter reportedly “shadowbanned” the @ElonJet account under Musk’s direction, meaning the platforming severely limited the visibility of the account. Then Twitter, banned, unbanned, and banned the @ElonJet account again. The company rewrote its policy on doxxing in a way that seemed specifically targeted at the account, after which the billionaire self-righteously defended his actions. Musk then took legal action against the college student who runs the @ElonJet account.
