@drewharwell @elonjet @taylorlorenz can you please make it available to all without the paywall?

I know that's a big ask, but for this I think it's worth it for the public (and your own) interest.

Try here. Whole thing seems to have been an excuse that blew up in his face and then prompted wrathful bans of journalists who did their job, which turned out to be somewhat embarrassing for Musk.

🌻 Welcome Back 🌻Dec 19, 2022

@Lovemypupper @pygmalion55 @drewharwell @elonjet @taylorlorenz Could be paranoid, maybe from drug use too. Psychotic break from reality. Not uncommon to read into music and internet posts

Musk made it all about himself. Not stable either. Should protect his ex-wife. She is most at risk. And child, too. Nothing to do with his whereabouts and flights. Why does he post about his child? Attack reporters?

"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 Los Angeles International Airport and 23 hours after the @ElonJet account had last located the jet’s whereabouts."

Real time Doxxing from publicly available jet information...

Elmo is a mendacious, duplicitous fraud.

Some Guy 🇺🇲🇺🇦Dec 19, 2022

@drewharwell @elonjet @taylorlorenz So when are WashPost, NYT, etc. going to stop contributing to Elon's insanity?

One might think that Elon's arbitrary banning of their journalists and attempts to dictate their news might warrant some sort of response?

@Scotter @drewharwell @elonjet @taylorlorenz Exactly. Twitter was great and all, but when it came down to feeding my news/politics addiction or allowing myself to be owned and monetized by an apartheid trust fund baby it wasn't really that difficult a choice.

So basically Grimes has a crazy stalker who had no conception whatsoever of Elon's jet or its location.

Laure Dec 19, 2022

@drewharwell why do we allow him to suck up every news cycle with another story every 72 hours or so. just to react and debunk. god we are suckers. that was Trump's playbook for years. journlists are really over their heads with this gaslighting phenom.

k_salberta Dec 19, 2022

@drewharwell @elonjet @taylorlorenz
Good job. I am getting more and more perturbed by the banning of journalists in this episode. Thank you also for posting the shared article link. This is important.

People are going to have to choose. It is not healthy to have one individual censuring the press like this, and to me the only reasonable response is for individuals to de-platform Twitter from their lives.

@ADSBexchange @drewharwell @taylorlorenz Thanks for boosting Drew.

It's going to take a little while and effort to find our favourite sources so boosting very popular sources such as ADSB exchange is very helpful.

Daniel Ayers ZL1DFA Dec 19, 2022

@ADSBexchange @drewharwell @taylorlorenz And my #Twitter account is still #suspended for including the ADSBx main website (not a link to any particular aircraft) in a tweet. Twitter say I can have my account back if I delete the tweet, and I replied that I'm not submitting to Elon's arbitrary censorship.

@drewharwell @elonjet

Remember #Musk saying he had a pathological need for the TRUTH!
-Yet incidents always come back to him as the leading subject, even if evidence doesn't add up.

His account of the sad last moments with his dying child in his arms which was disputed by his ex wife! It was HER who held the child!

Who is willing to exploit the death of his child? Not someone with the need for pathological truth but imo a pathological lying narcissist.

Running a SM company is much different than running a car company. Elon is just discovering that.
