Everyone should track him and post to Tiktok just for s*s n giggles
i figured that some did it when elon banned that account on twitter i never got around to looking for it
But can you shoot it down?
Just trick him into saying Crude oil is bad
You won’t need to if he keeps cutting the FAA and other agencies
hmmm new game idea
The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset
Player 2!
Wasn’t it part of why he acquired Twitter to shut down the account? The account later moved to Mastodon.
Nah, he just purchased the world’s biggest megaphone from which he could propel his ketamine fuelled opinions into the deep uncaring void of the internet.
I remember him getting really mad about his plane being tracked. Didn’t know it was on Twitter.
It was. Think he banned the account for “doxxing”
Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?
Ukraine is working on anti air drones…
Came here to ask the same question, any SAM would do really :)
i wonder what would happen if someone was to point a laser at coincidently same direction as where the plane is
Fuck all most likely. You’d have to have an extremely steady hand and do it as the plane was landing. But the pupil of a pilots eyeball is an extremely small target.
Oh, i thought it would do something more. At least I have had an assumption it would mess with some sensor or cause somekind of alarm
Wow, imagine being so out of touch you defend a billionaire
Where’s the defending?
In unrelated news, the graphics for the Switch 2 are fucking incredible - look at this shit! This is wild!
yes a radar tracking guided missile. lock on to musks jet with AA-missile.

Every successful flight with him on board is a missed opportunity for those pilots to do the world a favor. They’ve made their choice.
If you choose to work for a Nazi billionaire you get what you get. I can’t imagine all the things they’ve seen and heard.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ.
Breaking News: ByteMe on Lemmy leaks that the world’s richest man is using hostages and slave labor to fly him around on his private jet.
While previously assumed that the personnel are freely employed, it has been inferred that this is not the case.
We can only be left to send our thoughts and prayers to those family members left behind.
As to the identity of this brave whistleblower, we may never know.
For their family’s sake, hopefully the pilots were smart enough to include hazard pay in their contracts
Do you think you’re a good person? 👀
No.
Good
Buddy, if a revolution is coming, there’s going to be more than a few hurt fee fees to make it work.
What about the pilots tho
I mean what about them? They’re facilitating his crime spree against the public.
“My friend is trying to convince me that any contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when the space station was destroyed.”
NGL I would love to see Nintendo give Luigi Mario a rocket launcher.
Why would I want to track his jet though?
Because it pisses him off
Probably in the hopes of seeing it blip out of existence somewhere over the Atlantic.
adding so it’s archived in as many places as possible:
the reg is N628TS, and you can track it with any ADS-B service
ADS-B is broadcast from the plane, and able to be picked up by any in-range receiver… services like flight radar 24 aggregate many receivers across the world run by ordinary people
how to link planes to billionaires in europe? any ideas?
Now do it for the other Billionairs.
The creator also made one for Taylor Swift and a few others
Tim Cook, Larry Ellison, a plane owned by Google, and a few megachurch guys among others, if I recall correctly
Air traffic information is already publicly available. The author of the bot simply scrapes data for Elon’s Jet. You can use websites like FlightAware, Flightradar24, and PlaneLogger that provide real-time tracking of flights, including private jets. You can also search for specific aircraft or view flights in a particular area. I remember shortly after Elon bought Twitter he got the account suspended.
Except the commercial aggregators have all started filtering the data of specific planes on request - you won’t find Elon’s or Swift’s ADSB data on popular sites/apps like FlightAware or Flightradar24. (I’m not familiar with PlaneLogger). Open source aggregators like OpenSky or ADSB Exchange will have them though, but the UIs of those sites are far less polished and have fewer features.
and worth noting that by “publicly available” here, it’s not like it’s published on some FAA API: ADS-B is broadcast from all aircraft, and anyone can receive its data… these services run by networks for regular members of the public contributing the data from their ADS-B receivers
So you’re telling me it’s only a matter of time before Skum orders his pilots to go dark and cease broadcasting, and then they’re going to hit a jet liner full of families trying to escape his corporate hell.
like a global map with filters by business sector, flight reason, etc
man this would be sick hehe
The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.
ADS-B is public broadcast though… if you’re in range of the plane, you can pick up its air traffic control data (elevation, speed, heading, registration, etc)… services like flight radar 24 don’t work on FAA data: they are a huge network of regular people across the globe with ADS-B receivers contributing everything they see
I think the above user was referring to this: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-moves-protect-aircraft-owners-private-information
They are no longer making the information public which aircraft belongs to whom, so in the future you might no longer know that any given aircraft belongs to Elon Musk or any other celebrity. You can still track it, but you won’t know what aircraft to track.
Sure… Until he takes his private jet out of the United States of America and has to register the information with a non USA equivalent of the FAA
Yes, exactly this ^
While I can appreciate the ADS-B bit, it seems clear that the change to public registration would still negatively affect tracking.
ahhh right! i see! yup that’d ruin everything 😭 you’d have to make some correlations to find the registration then
Just sit next to the airport with a telescope on days you know he will be there. He would have to change IDs every flight to avoid this.
The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.
I thought they just slightly obfuscated it, but bc the importance of tail numbers for safety, they can’t do so completely. I’d love a complete explanation from someone knowledgeable.
Just months until they apply the Steve Jobs rule to tail numbers.
Lease a new private jet every 3 months and you don’t need plates, or tail numbers.
Hell yeah, the fediverse rocks!
The best part is that if any of them get taken down, another one will pop up on another instance :D
