Well then…
As a #SovereignCitizen, I will not comply with FAA drone laws 😏
Bonus points: Y’all can use an app called Rattlegram to convert a sting of text into audio that can be played over amateur radio. And if you encrypt the text beforehand using encryption tools such as Secure Space Encryptor (known as Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS), or Open PGP (both are open source), before pasting the ciphertext into Rattlegram (also open source), you have encrypted off-grid communications.
This is #Murica! The president can ignore laws. So can we. 😎
Luckily the FAA has no power in europe
These two are the least of out worries now.
Imagine this law in like 1999
And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.
Putin loves this simple hack
Oh no that would be so sad. Please no.
Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.
I undertands Musk’s, but why do we hate taylor swift now?
There 👏 are 👏 no 👏 good 👏 billionaires 👏
It’s mostly about how she uses flights. It’s a waste of energy and a big contributor to pollution when they are taking a whole ass jet for about 5 people to go 30 miles.
Though, personally, I am not really sure if that’s Swift’s call. It’s likely her managers/producers.
Don’t they also charter their planes when they aren’t being used?
I hope a traffic controller guides Elon’s jet into the tarmac.
even better, accidentally into trumps airforce one.
I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.
She’s more like Elon than any of us will ever be
many people tried to astroturfed she dint come from money,. she literally came from an upper middle class upbringing bordering wealthy. her family moved her to tennessee so she looks “poorer” than she is to her fans.
No. Ethical. Billionaires.
Every day she wakes up and chooses not to solve homelessness in Tennessee.
She still has the carbon footprint of a small country.
She may not be as bad but she’s still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers. Her greed and abuse of the system will always be closer to Elon than any of us
the joke about her being extremely vexatiously litigious around her music too.
Appropriate
This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don’t care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.
If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?
Huh… Recent context has really ruined jokes like this…
You have to go at it the other way, now:
As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don’t have money, then what will trickle down to me?
Wait no that’s still not funny at all.
How about drones? If you don’t want all of your information avaible online and don’t want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.
Elon now can more easily buy his specialK, lol
all that premium cocaine from columbia.
It’s also for middle class people flying around in single-engine bug smashers
Maybe they’re rich people saying fuck y’all, but TBH we’ve been able to keep website registration info private for years, and privacy is such a big thing now, sure why not.
Precisely.
I’m no fan of random billionaires, but I’m a huge fan of privacy.
Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public. At a certain point, the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
If they want privacy, they can reregister their planes to an LLC. Having Congress pass this loophole was just Musk’s way of flexing his power over the legislative body.

Sounds like what somebody would say to carefully lay the groundwork for abolishing online anonymity. Computers can cause large scale damage to the public, and they’re cheap!
the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
Why? This “right to know” is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).
And you could probably get it with a subpeona or FOIA request if you really need it. This just stops random people from snooping.
Anyone who isn’t rich in America can go fuck yourself is what they’ve been saying for a while in words and actions
millionaires are way above middle class, middle class is usually around depending on area, is 50k-100k.year. millionaires are way above that. they usually buy multimillionaire(5+million) dollar homes, and often sometimes have multiples. actors,c elebrities are hundred millionaires, they are very wealthy individuals, billionaires are just obscene.
You’re missing their point, they’re saying from the point of view of those in power millionaires are middle class.
Although there are some that distinguish a “managerial class” that is in-between the middle class and the billionaires : people like CEOs and such, with net worth in the tens of millions but who are not those who benefit the most from the system and are culturally distinct. I think it’s a useful concept personally, as their interests aren’t necessarily the same as the owner class but they still have a lot of political power.
Oddly, millionaires aren’t really the middle class. House’s in California routinely cost more than a million dollars. And a lot of people probably have a million dollars of retirement in one form or another. (Pensions have a value that very often tops a million). The middle class you are describing (athletes and pop stars) probably are more like 100 million or something. We just don’t have a good name for that.
Petite bourgeoisie is what they are called. Wealthy people without an aristocratic title, not part of the ruling class and who still use their own labor to create wealth.
What the “middle class” can afford has changed quite a bit in the last few decades. Owning a home is arguably “upper class” at this point. The median US income was only $80k in 2023. Pentions are also getting increasingly rare. What used to be considered middle class is now struggling to get by. Middle class is defined by the income of the middle third of the population, not by a particular lifestyle.
This is a good thing for us normal humans. More privacy is always a good thing. Let it spread further…

I mean do we have any reason to expect it to travel further? The system made a few billionares feel uncomfortable, now they don’t feel uncomfortable, the law isn’t going to expand.
If a face tracking or car tracking system were to go live. Billionares would find a way to exempt themselves from it, but make sure it was live for everyone else. The reason there aren’t exceptions made for this rule, are because there’s not a whole lot of poor private plane owners.
This isn’t restricted to billionaires. It will benefit others as well.
Yes this isn’t limited to billionaires. It protects everyone who owns private jets…
can you explain where I’m missing here? unless I’m majorly missing something, is there a benefit for people who don’t own, or regularly travel in private planes?
Honestly, I think this will be a bigger boon to folks like Elevated Access than to the billionaires of the world. Makes it a little harder for some chud who doesn’t like what they’re doing to show up at a pilot’s home with a rifle.
Glad to hear there is a good thing to come out of this
