Elon is trying to say what I’m posting isn’t public information.
ADS-B and ACARS are all over public frequency and are acquired by organizations like ADSBExchange.
This is like saying AM or FM signals aren’t public and that reciciving a frequency is private.
Aviation enthusiasts have been reciciving this information over the air for atleast a decade now. Even companies like FlightAware and FlightRadar24 rely on hobbyists to receive this data.

For anyone who wants to say otherwise my code is public and has been https://github.com/Jxck-S/plane-notify

@JxckS yup. It’s on Elon to lock down his tail number.

@zzarana @JxckS He already has, it's called LADD. But that's weak legislation and the ADS-B transponder output is public by design on 1090MHz. If the flight tracking sites decide to abide by that, that's their choice, but whilst Elon may control Twitter, if he wants to use a private jet he has to play by FAA rules.
