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.
What about the pilots tho
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.
What about the pilots tho
I mean what about them? They’re facilitating his crime spree against the public.
Now do it for the other Billionairs.
The creator also made one for Taylor Swift and a few others
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
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
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
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”
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
@elonjet@mastodon.social for those who wish to subscribe.
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.
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
Yes; I thought there had been enough news stories about this that this was common knowledge?
Theoretically mastodon can show up on Lemmy. Soooooo . . .
I don’t think I’m seeing the value here. Why would you want to track him?
Luigi.
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.
