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

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

The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.

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
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"
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
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
@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.

Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?

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.

I don't think I'm seeing the value here. Why would you want to track him?
Luigi.
Theoretically mastodon can show up on Lemmy. Soooooo . . .
Yes; I thought there had been enough news stories about this that this was common knowledge?
