The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All of these comments wishing death upon Elon.
All because of a gesture that’s been misconstrued. The moral and tolerant left, they say lolol
Sorry that 4 Chan went down but you can still fuck right off from here.
Maybe Kiwi Farms is accepting new Edge Lords.
Given the breadth and depth of evidence of him being a horrible person and holding favorable views towards fascism/nazism, calling it misconstrued is misrepresenting reality. He knows what he did.
Unlike other commenters, I don’t think you’re necessarily a Nazi, but you are, at the very minimum, missing crucial information to make a proper judgment here.
That vern unsworth debacle from 2017 was pretty fun to read lol
Vern tells Elon to shove his submarine up his behind and then Elon calls him a pedo boy. A tit for tat moment, in which the defamation lawsuit was dismissed.
His daughter is saying one thing and Elon is saying another, so all we have is word of mouth. Naturally, people will believe the daughter because of their disdain for Elon, however, how can one be tricked into consenting to that procedure? Elon takes the L here.
Elon telling Germany to embrace their past and learn from it? Especially at the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz? Not a good look.
Elon had said that the awkward gesture he made was not a Nazi salute, that his heart goes out to everyone.
So… Everyone is running with the Nazi salute. Do we give him the benefit of the doubt and believe it was his intended gesture? Or do we perceive it as a Nazi salute and condemn him?
Everyone has chosen the latter. I can see why people can see that with 2 out of the three articles you’ve provided.
But there is a lot of irony in these posts that seem to want to fight fascism with fascism.
For example, people are calling Trump’s deportation measures fascist, and in the same breath, wanting to deport Trump supporters instead.
People calling it fascist for their anti Trump (or fascist) speech to be limited, but deeming Trump supporters having no right to talk.
But in all seriousness, I just find it all entertaining. The back and forth and the ironic rhetoric of backyard politicians.
Before you ask me for a source, just peruse Reddit or this platform.
I do appreciate your rebuttal and providing sources rather than snide comments.
“all because”? Let’s not forget about him destroying the country and robbing all our futures blind. Stop typing and just find the man so you can suck whatever’s left of his dick in person, Nazi
His Hitler salute is probably the least damaging thing he’s done ever since he became president.
Hahahaha MISCONSTRUED fuck off you nazi apologist bastard. Why don’t you tolerate my foot in your ass
The only good nazi is a dead nazi, that goes for you as well.
More death threats. That’s nice lol oooooooo
Haha yeah.
You can’t tolerate the intolerant
You mean the guy who called the cave diver a pedo before all this?
And who brought “freedom” to twitter?
And now he’s running enforcement on trumps plan to turn the us into a dictatorship.
I don’t wish death on him (I don’t think he deserves that) but my not liking him happened before the Nazi solute.
Even if you took the Nazi solute out, it’s fairly clear he’s not a good person and that Tesla is possibly just a way for him to get rich and get attention these days. He might have cared originally, but I feel any illusion of caring is gone, and he is basically Trump 2.
He’d happily remove all workers rights if he was in power, and to get back at his ex wives, possibly eliminate women’s rights
Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?
Ukraine is working on anti air drones…
Came here to ask the same question, any SAM would do really :)
i wonder what would happen if someone was to point a laser at coincidently same direction as where the plane is
Fuck all most likely. You’d have to have an extremely steady hand and do it as the plane was landing. But the pupil of a pilots eyeball is an extremely small target.
Now do it for the other Billionairs.
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
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
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.
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.
Theoretically mastodon can show up on Lemmy. Soooooo . . .
Everyone should track him and post to Tiktok just for s*s n giggles
Just say shit. You are on the internet. You can say shit, piss, fuck, asshole, and even „Du kleiner hurensohn ich ficke deine mutter”.
You can swear on the internet.
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 don’t think I’m seeing the value here. Why would you want to track him?
Luigi.
In unrelated news, the graphics for the Switch 2 are fucking incredible - look at this shit! This is wild!
NGL I would love to see Nintendo give Luigi Mario a rocket launcher.
yes a radar tracking guided missile. lock on to musks jet with AA-missile.
What about the pilots tho
I mean what about them? They’re facilitating his crime spree against the public.
“My friend is trying to convince me that any contractors working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when the space station was destroyed.”
If you choose to work for a Nazi billionaire you get what you get. I can’t imagine all the things they’ve seen and heard.
Do you think you’re a good person? 👀
No.
Good
Buddy, if a revolution is coming, there’s going to be more than a few hurt fee fees to make it work.
Maybe it wasn’t their choice.
Jesus Tapdancing Christ.
Breaking News: ByteMe on Lemmy leaks that the world’s richest man is using hostages and slave labor to fly him around on his private jet.
While previously assumed that the personnel are freely employed, it has been inferred that this is not the case.
We can only be left to send our thoughts and prayers to those family members left behind.
As to the identity of this brave whistleblower, we may never know.
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
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
how to link planes to billionaires in europe? any ideas?
