Maybe he's wrong, maybe not; either way, the hyperventilating hysteria among the left is amusing to watch. And whatever we think of publishing the plane's movements, what public good is served by doing that? Perhaps we should accept that Musk is neither a god nor a supervillain, and it's early in his ownership. Boundaries are being determined. Meanwhile, the same left engaged in this faux outrage wants FB to maintain its ban on Trump.

Musk seems to be in the mold of other attention-seeking celebrities who embrace the perpetual drama of reality TV and social media. If you say or do something provocative, you stoke outrage from your critics and a backlash against that outrage from your supporters. Then, while people are still arguing about what you did, you do another provocative thing and start the cycle all over again. It's cynical and divisive, but it keeps you in the spotlight.

Ken, you're correct that conservatives have two options: Own the libs out of spite or cleave to conservative principles by applying free-speech standards equally. Thanks for endorsing Option 2.

And still - he’s better than the lying Jack Dorsey.

If Twitter/FB/Google we’re to spontaneously combust tomorrow - the world would be a better place. These modern day Towers of Babel have made humanity more stupid, mean and close minded. They are an abomination.

I feel those journalists should be canceled for 70 days vs one week

Let them sample what weve undergone in 3 years alone

Then see changes come

Strongly disagree with you. Musk gave several warnings and made public the reason he wanted his jet's location kept private. He apparently also had his plane in some sort of privacy program, but the college student bragged online about finding a way to get around it.

KNOWING THIS, leftist journalists posted links to track his plane, also knowing Musk's toddler was placed in danger. This was done purely for harassment. There is no reason you or anyone needs to know where Musk's private jet is located.

How would a jet tracker for a Democrat's private plane be treated? How would the reaction be if a leftist's toddler was placed in danger by a "crazed Trumper?"

Remember, a sitting president was banned from Twitter because a handful of people felt the intention behind his tweets was "mean."

So he is supposed to be subject to the leftists harassment? Why? Because he isn't part of the Marxist cabal destroying the country?

I don’t think Musk stumbled. He was justified.

Some folks say that the flight information is available. My home address and phone number can be found with a simple search. But if some broadcasts it they are doxxing. Banning them is fine.

Despite what? A 7 day suspension for at least indirectly endangering his kid, whether it was meant for Musk or not, is not unreasonable when it violates a clearly documented doxing TOS. And to be honest, watching karma in action with these insufferable Marxists really is worth the price of admission...
