Everyone should track him and post to Tiktok just for s*s n giggles

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You can swear on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Just say shit. You are on the internet. You can say shit, piss, fuck, asshole, and even „Du kleiner hurensohn ich ficke deine mutter”.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (4 children)

But can you shoot it down?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, just not through mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

You won't need to if he keeps cutting the FAA and other agencies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Wasn't it part of why he acquired Twitter to shut down the account? The account later moved to Mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I remember him getting really mad about his plane being tracked. Didn't know it was on Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

It was. Think he banned the account for "doxxing"

I wanna bet all the CO2 emissions he emits are as much as if he'd sell gasoline cars instead.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Now do it for the other Billionairs.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The creator also made one for Taylor Swift and a few others

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.

i figured that some did it when elon banned that account on twitter i never got around to looking for it

The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

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

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

Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Ukraine is working on anti air drones...

how to link planes to billionaires in europe? any ideas?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, the fediverse rocks!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

The best part is that if any of them get taken down, another one will pop up on another instance :D

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Why would I want to track his jet though?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago

Because it pisses him off

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

gives him anxiety, the same shit he causes on millions world wide by funding extreme right wing movements

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Probably in the hopes of seeing it blip out of existence somewhere over the Atlantic.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.
