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
how to link planes to billionaires in europe? any ideas?
I just follow exposés by his baby momma’s, it’s not as up-to-date but it’s good enough for me
Wasn’t it part of why he acquired Twitter to shut down the account? The account later moved to Mastodon.
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”
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.
Now do it for the other Billionairs.
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.
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.
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.
like a global map with filters by business sector, flight reason, etc
man this would be sick hehe
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
Wow, imagine being so out of touch you defend a billionaire
Where’s the defending?
Why would I want to track his jet though?
gives him anxiety, the same shit he causes on millions world wide by funding extreme right wing movements
Because it pisses him off
Probably in the hopes of seeing it blip out of existence somewhere over the Atlantic.
Everyone should track him and post to Tiktok just for s*s n giggles
You can swear on the internet.
Just say shit. You are on the internet. You can say shit, piss, fuck, asshole, and even „Du kleiner hurensohn ich ficke deine mutter”.
Don’t worry. They’re working in it:
Some hero needs to be at the right airport before they manage it
Yes, those airports need throngs of people to defend those billionaires before they can slither away to safety. So many protectors.
To be honest I can’t think of non evil people that ride private jets. If somebody wanted to do violence against billionaires they could probably take down any corporate sized jet.
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.
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.
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
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.
The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.
But can you shoot it down?
Just trick him into saying Crude oil is bad
hmmm new game idea
You won’t need to if he keeps cutting the FAA and other agencies
I don’t think I’m seeing the value here. Why would you want to track him?
Luigi.
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
He already thought about that, and he’s having body doubles, other jets…
I don’t have any source for this, but c’mon the guy is a military contractor, he works for/with the government (Not Trump or Biden), and they gonna guard him like an asset… like all governments do… the US government doesn’t have any problem with that account… It’s an Internet joke to them…
But hey… If it gets on Elon’s fragile little ego… I’m all in for it… :D
body doubles
Like Puttie his master
They literally made his private security US Marshalls
i figured that some did it when elon banned that account on twitter i never got around to looking for it
