Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

The Washington Post
“A confrontation between a member of Elon Musk’s security team and an alleged stalker that Musk blamed on a Twitter account that tracked his jet took place at a gas station 26 miles from LAX and 23 hours after the @[email protected] account had last located the jet”
“The timing and location of the confrontation cast doubt on Musk’s assertion that the account had posted real-time ‘assassination coordinates’ that threatened his family and led to the confrontation.“
It does seem like this is a stalker and he is disturbed. The connection to the flight tracking accounts is unsubstantiated.
@juddlegum Absolutely. E got paranoid from the event, though. And that's sort of understandable that he changed his risk posture because of it, even though his response was obviously unacceptable. (E doesn't have the frame of mind to run a site like Twitter.)
@juddlegum @Robotbeat I don’t recall any such concern when Libs of TikTok hounded Keffals halfway across the world. Indeed, I recall Musk being sympathetic to the “cause”.
@TomWills @juddlegum Exactly. People are deaf to stochastic terrorism of people that aren't in their tribe. I hope this gives E pause to self-reflect, but I don't expect it.
