For the rich, they can subscribe to private addressing. They can get a hex code every month which is not directly linkable to their tail number. The FAA provides the mapping and the aircraft operator updates the system on the plane. The FAA still knows who you are but you can't just look it up any more. The second part is that you're required to always use a company style callsign. If you're not part of a company(NetJets, etc) you can use one from a company like FltPlan.com, now Garmin, who issues Dot Com(DCMxxx) callsigns this way your Flight ID never needs to be your tail number.

There is no security though and unless you hack the FAA there's nothing illegal about figuring out what plane is using which hex code. There's a number of ways to do it...

You mention private addressing allows you to change your hex code every month - did ElonJet lose tracking on a monthly basis? I don't recall anyone ever mentioning it, but I never followed the account.

If Elon was offering the guy money to stop tracking him, I assume he was at least taking the basic steps of changing his hex code and not doxing himself with the tail number. If he was doing those things, it suggests someone is in a position to identify the plane quickly and reliably when a new hex code is issued (which requires stalking, unless they have direct access to a database). ElonJet as a concept always struck me as a weird "why do you care" project, but it seems a bit more off and obsessive if he had to deanonymise the plane regularly to keep it going.

I love it. Banned just long enough for them to shriek, reveal their backchannels, show their asses and prove their hypocrisy in sheer panic, and now un-banned again so they have no (legitimate) reason to complain. Not that they ever did (private platform, make your own, etc.), but now it'll be even more useless pissing in the wind since they're not even banned.

IMO, a better execution would’ve been to banhammer every journalist that praised general Twitter banning against their ideological (mostly conservative) opponents/Trump/The New York Post over rUsSiAN diSiNFoRmaTiON (read: Hunter Biden degeneracy that made his father look bad when blumpfth had to be stopped BAMN).

Then, when they start seething and dilating, produce the receipts. Publicly call them out on their remarks/tweets that they’ve forgotten about. By that time, they look like absolute hypocrites and have zero leg to stand on when they claim the way they’re being treated is an abomination and Very Dangerous To Our Democracy™. Rub salt in the wound by putting out a general statement with their tweets and roasting them as the hypocrites they are, and how they have no business getting angry at behavior they reacted to with glee and elation.

Lastly, while the bans on said journoscum shouldn’t be permanent, they should be significantly longer than a week (or, in this case, a single fucking day). Maybe a year? Or even better, the exact length of time that Trump was banned from the platform. The purpose would be to maximize them getting a taste of their own medicine, while also satisfying the boldened text in @moocow’s post.

Holy shit, this lunatic is posting on an account made for his dogs!

They are irreparably fucking broken, busted, shitter-shattered and insane.

Remember: they are only said to be timed out for seven days! Seven days! They are the most embarrassing manchildren in the world!

Sorry, but what the actual fuck even is this??

All this does is make it clear that he needs to stay banned.

So, PIA can change monthly, but it doesn't look like the main ElonJet(N628TS) is presently using it. It's showing up with its original hex code A835AF with tracking as of yesterday.

There's a tremendous community of autistic lovely planespotters who do this stuff and it's not just for Elon. They have Facebook communities where they share findings and GitHub repositories where the data is archived. So, you can see in this list: https://github.com/sdr-enthusiasts/plane-alert-db/blob/main/plane-alert-pia.csv that there is an entry for N628TS, but it doesn't look like it's been updated in 8 months.

My guess is 1. It's expensive to change monthly when using PIA codes. Maybe $500 for the update and all the paperwork and logbook entries for a big jet and it would have to be done somewhere with the staff who can do it. 2. Someone realized with the autistic community as long as they fly to big airports they're very likely to be spotted anyway.

Honestly, it's because the free money train has dried up. All these stocks had insane valuations over the past couple of years due to all the printing and now they're reverting to the mean.

The whole stock market shit itself due to a war going on and Biden fucking with regulations for oil drilling. Even Macron has tried begging Biden to ease up things on drilling so energy prices could go down.

Yeah TSLA isn't going down because of Twitter retardations. It's going down because the entire world economy is on the biggest, most insane overvalued hype bubble it has ever been and the entire system is about to make 2008 look like a mild joke.

TSLA is just getting down to it's actual value. Even Elon knew that it was waaay fucking overvalued before AND EVEN SAID SO. We all knew that. It was always a boutique automaker with a few subsidiary things like powerwall. It was all puffed up by activist investors.

Look at tesla, then look at ford, gm, or crystler. Which one stands out as overvalued for it's volume?

Yep, quite true. There are even some who speculate Elon used the drama around Twitter and other stunts of his to sneakily sell shares without causing too much of a price drop so he doesn't just burst the bubble at once.

The entire thing is over valued as all hell. It's gonna make for some real nice fireworks once it crashes.

I'm waiting for it to come down to a price that's more understandable. Tesla is a SOLID company, but I couldn't justify adding it to my portfolio at fucking $600 a share. Waiting for sub $100 stabilization.

It's the autopilot software that will be the most disruptive if they get it right, that's why their value was never based on volume. Ford and GM don't have anything in that domain that's compelling. Tesla has had two stock splits, 5 for 1 and 3 for 1, so the share price is really more like $2250. They opened up their charging network to other cars, and they will let other companies use their autopilot for a price when the time comes. Whether they manage it? Time will tell. The press coverage around Tesla right now smells like 2017 coverage, they just have a different angle to attack the company from.

Here's a random autist posting a drive from the latest iteration of Autopilot Beta:

The Retards on the Internet(tm) consider posting "publicly available information" to be "doxing" any time the farms does it so I believe the answer to the argument is "Yes it is doxing and publicly available information."

That's why boomer analysts keep willing interest rate cuts in the new year. Keep juicing that retirement, inflation be damned.
