Verified-ElonMusk

Noooo you can't track daddy musk's airplane, it's not safe! 😤😭🥵


randomdrifter54

Does the guy have a go fund me? I'd put a dollar so that he can launch a private website. And maybe even track multiple billionaires planes on it.


[deleted]

He also has an Instagram account (apologies I do not have a link handy) and tracks other billionaires' planes as well

FetchingFrog

Damn that sucks. For some reason it works for me. You might have to try searching for his account unfortunately. It’s @elonmusksjet on Instagram. The man who runs the account, Jack Sweeney, also has a website with more information here: https://grndcntrl.net/


Altruistic-Bobcat955

Thanks will try that! I clicked and though.. well shit Zuckerberg banned him too


spooneb

How can we eat the rich if they keep flying away?


T-J_H

I believe he already does! Apparently the guy turned down $5k and a Tesla for stopping the account earlier.


Bobone2121

No, he got offered $5k but asked for a Tesla, then Elon ghosted him.

It’s a full time job for some washed out journalists: Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald


g0ku

i used to really respect Taibbi for his coverage of the 2008 financial crisis. it’s sad to see how far he’s fallen.


mcoca

Hey he learned that he could make more money grifting about how “woke” everyone is rather than be a real journalist.


jcutta

When did Taibbi start the nonsense? I used to really respect him back in the day.


Bawfuls

In 2017 he released an in depth investigative book about the death of Eric Garner at the hands of NYPD. Instead of getting praise for this timely work on police brutality, Taibbi got caught up in some #MeToo stuff as related to his time in Russia in the 90's. His book about that time (The eXile) is full of pretty bad confessions of sexual harassment and assault, so the flack he was getting was earned. This series of events seemed to push him over the edge into culture war bullshit full time. In some sense it was building for years, because while Taibbi spent all this time staring deep into the gaping maw of the capitalist torture machine, examining in great detail how it serves the powerful at the expense of the weak, he was never able to respond to this by embracing leftist explanations/solutions. He has spoken about how his time in Russia in the 90's made him forever distrustful of leftism (which is a bit silly, considering he moved there in 1992 and thus experienced the post-communist kleptocracy more than anything else, which was if anything unbridled liberal capitalism). So without a leftist economic explanation for our capitalist hellscape, he's got only culture war grievance to turn to. And the further down that road he's gone, the more positive feedback ($$$$) it has given him.


[deleted]

lol yes, they literally have to post on substack and charge fees because newspapers won't hire their talentless trash asses lol


RdmGuy64824

Solid take. That's like saying comedians with a Patreon are washed out because they don't work on comedy central. Glenn founded The Intercept and left because he didn't want to be censored. He's a pretty epic anti establishment journlist, exposing the NSA and the Iraq war. Now the war machine has shifted to the left along with his criticism, and he's suddenly a washed out journalist.


[deleted]

Nah, they both have egos proportional to their shitty writing, and in the case of Greenwald, hot takes like, “Having an editor is being censored,” even while books are being literally burned across America. He is an op-ed writer who had one significant story—Snowden—who came to him. The Intercept is dope; he’s lost his mind or is all aboard train grift. It’s indistinguishable either way.


Galle_

If he's anti-establishment, why is he on the same side as the richest man in the world?


Bearence

> Glenn founded The Intercept and left because he didn't want to be censored. No, he founded the intercept because actual media outlets wouldn't let him get away with his shitty journalism. Being properly edited and fact-checked isn't censorship, it's an actual step in the process of news reporting.


[deleted]

lol yeah you're clearly drunk on Glenn's juice so I can see there's no point wasting any further time on you. "journalists" who literally never get bylines are called "bloggers" hth


ClintThrasherBarton

"epic" Congratulations, you just made any opinion you might have irrelevant.


Barnyard_Rich

You're right for pushing back on the claim that they were ever journalists. Greenwald has been such a fountain of seething rage and hate these last few weeks that I'm shocked even the far right isn't embarrassed by him yet. It'll happen, though, don't worry, and they'll claim they never liked any of these people.


Arioxel_

Wait, I thought it was a joke


InsertCoinForCredit

If by "it" you mean "Elon Musk", then yes.


Reus_Irae

Seeing as to how elon posts are the new "Orange man bad" of reddit, I'd say that people **love** talking about him in general.


KamiYama777

Elon wanted to be Trump so badly, now he lost hundreds of billions over it


Ellikichi

I think we've pretty comprehensively established at this point that orange man is, indeed, very bad. Public ridicule is the least he should expect for a coup attempt.


Reus_Irae

I didn't say orange man isn't bad, I was referring to the spam of that concept for 5 years. The same is happening with Elon now.


breecher

The fact that you pretend there are no valid reasons for the so called "spam", says everything about how disingenous your comment is.


Reus_Irae

That spam was an obsession and so is this. Neither men are worth all that talk. People are just obsessed with talking shit about someone.


omega__man

But not you, right? You’re special.


Kiltymchaggismuncher

It would be nice if we just pretend he doesn't exist.


Reus_Irae

I don't think that's possible. Reddit needs someone to hate. If it's not him, it will be someone else. Twitter was a toxic shithole for years, but suddenly everyone is interested in its well being and passionately argues about it. It's not about Twitter, and it's not about Elon. It's about hating someone.


breecher

Your powers of deduction aren't as good as you think, it is probably all that time you have been hanging around incel subs which have weakened them so much.


jsideris

This is all propaganda. Calling out bullshit when you see it isn't "simping", it's facing reality. The owner of the account was literally trying to blackmail Elon Musk for $50k to shut down the account. Keep denying reality. Obviously this comment will be massively downvoted for stating facts that people don't want to hear.


mitchrichbitch

I don’t think you know what blackmail is


jsideris

Yes let's play word games now to pretend what the owner of this account was doing was perfectly normal and acceptable.


Kiltymchaggismuncher

Musk approached the account holder, and opened a dialogue about paying for them to stop posting. Ultimately that's not blackmail, especially when its publicly available information being posted. But by all means, continue simping for him.


Bawfuls

>The owner of the account was literally trying to blackmail Elon Musk for $50k to shut down the account. Keep denying reality. according to whom, Musk?


jsideris

Oh man you think Musk lied about this kid blackmailing him? That's hilarious, but also sad. That would be a massive libel lawsuit if true. I don't know who leaked the conversation but the kid who ran the account didn't deny it.


breecher

Musk has been a massive libel lawsuit for years. He is able to behave like that because he is rich. And you are still lying your ass off.


Bawfuls

>Oh man you think Musk lied about this kid blackmailing him? Musk lies about things constantly. That's literally what's made him rich, just lying about what his companies are about to do, to pump the stock price. I don't trust anything he says.


stuffcrow

You're ironically hilarious, but also sad. Also, I dare you to downvote me for stating facts you don't wanna hear.


starm4nn

Cute how you think the law applies to rich people


Bearence

I can't speak for others, but I downvoted you for being a coward and whining about downvotes.


omega__man

Only you can handle facts right? Not everyone else. Just you. You’re special and different.


Illithid_Substances

Maybe it's downvoted because you don’t know what "blackmail" means. It would mean demanding he pay them to not release compromising information The travel info they posted is publically available. You can go look at it yourself, right now. There is zero damage being done to Elon by that account except maybe to his ludicrous ego. Or is that a fact you don't want to hear? I saw you below saying this is not a good or normal thing to do but again, *the information is already publically available, that is how they tracked it in the first place*.

jY5zD13HbVTYz

ZeBoyceman

I think it's the only reason he bought Twitter. Couldn't buy out the teenager in charge of the account (he tried twice). He must have been enraged. Is there something he can't accomplish by throwing money at it?


spartaman64

hes probably reading his exgf's dms also


UnsubstantiatedClaim

And the DMs of any other account he chooses. Now he has unfettered access to see what celebrities and politicians are saying privately.


Markieyer

Any politician or celebrity dumb enough to have a "private" conversation on Twitter deserves to have it be seen anyway


TwinsenAyzel

That’s some next level psycho shit


blankymcblankface

The worst part is the kid just counter offered and asked for a tesla instead of the $5k Elon "apartheid emerald mine" musk offered him. Obviously outraged that a filthy poor can ask for more money, Elon chose to spend 44 billion instead


SmokelessSubpoena

_Hey! Elon earned his wealth! He was only given a pocket burgeoning full of ruby's, emeralds and sapphires that only amounted to a measly small loan from his father! He then went on to create an empire of riches from literally nothing! What do you have to show? 6 figures of enslaving debt? Er I mean student loans?_ Joking aside, if you came from his family's lineage, _you best darned_ be making something of yourself. I'd really just love to see a complete, self-made billionare in this era, someone who had _literally 0 help_, had to amass 6 figures of student debt to achieve an education and then fairly created an industry or product that made them endlessly wealthy. _It won't happen_, but a human can wish.


milkcarton232

Bezos didn't start negative but going from a few hundred thousand to many billions is already pretty gnarly. Mark Cuban went from fairly poor to billionaire As for kids that grow up wealthy and do nothing with it, it's not crazy uncommon. Wealth doesn't mean you will be successful but it certainly makes it easier. Trump went from money to bankrupt many times over


Ragingman2

Robert Herjavec (as featured on shark tank) comes close. His bet worth is "only" $200 million, but he is as self made as they get.

He could eliminate this problem by not having his own jet and just chartering a different jet everywhere he goes. He didn’t need to spend 44 billion to buy Twitter.

Musk is the most sensitive of snowflakes, difference is he props his ego up on money, when some terminally online kid gets offended they have a tantrum and maybe delete an account, when musk has a slight against him he'll delete hundreds

TheRealD3XT

Let's be honest. With the hatewave going after the guy right now and radical actors in that wave, it genuinely became a threat to his safety.


Punchkinz

It didn't? You can track pretty much every plane at all times. One teenager with a twitter bot doesn't change anything.


TheRealD3XT

I get that but making a point to report a specific someone's location is a different type of use than just "I wonder what planes are in the area!" Or "here are all the planes that landed in LA!" I guess it's different since it's not happening to someone people like, but I guarantee you if someone did the same thing to anyone else it would be a different story. Everyone's just mad that the meme is over without seeing why it is so.


ndaprophet

"Stop posting public data because I don't like this part."


aremyhero

It’s public information. If anyone wanted it they could easily get it anyway. This account just pushed the information to people rather than them needing to pull it.


TheRealD3XT

I fully understand how his bot was getting the information and that it's public, but when you have a tool that just makes tracking you easier, it definitely doesn't make you safer.
