ElonJet is back on Twitter, but there is a catch for the Twitter account's hobby.
Jack Sweeney is now back on Twitter after Twitter CEO Elon Musk banned his ElonJet account for supposedly doxxing his real-time location to the public.
Musk also blamed Sweeney for putting his son's life at risk as a result of his real-time tracking.
Jack Sweeney Twitter Return Details
Sweeney reportedly created another Twitter account tracking Musk's jet under a new username, per The Verge.
The name account, named @ElonJetNextDay, now tracks Musk's private jet with a 24-hour delay to abide by Twitter's new policy restrictions.
You may remember that Musk banned Sweeney's @ElonJet account in mid-December for sharing his real-time location and possibly endangering his family's safety.
It all started when a stalker followed Musk's car, blocking it from moving and even climbing onto its hood believing that Musk was inside.
However, instead of Musk, the car was carrying his son, X, around Los Angeles.
Following this turn of events, Musk announced he was taking legal action against Sweeney and organizations that are supporting harm to his family, per Interesting Engineering.
The Big Twit himself also announced a change to Twitter's policy regarding the sharing of real-time information and location, which states that any account doxxing real-time location info to anyone will be suspended.
Musk also said in a tweet that posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis aren't a safety problem and that it is okay to do so.
This statement from Musk may have been Sweeney's cue to set up @ElonJetNextDay as it doesn't break Twitter's new policy regarding tracking someone's location.
Although Sweeney's new ElonJet tracking account is new, it remains to be seen if Twitter will allow its existence on the platform with the 24-hour delay.
Sweeney himself said that he isn't anticipating the suspension of his new account due to it violating Twitter's rules, per the New York Post.
"The 24-hour day is allowed on Twitter," Sweeney added.
Breach Of Freedom of Information And Free Speech?
Despite Musk's statement promising he wouldn't ban Sweeney's@ElonJet account as part of his commitment to free speech, he did so anyway due to a "direct personal safety risk."
However, most commercial and private aircraft are equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast technology that transmits a unique code containing publicly available information like the aircraft's altitude and GPS location.
Additionally, Musk shut down Sweeney's other accounts tracking the air travel of other prominent individuals like Mark Zuckerberg, per Tech Crunch.
Twitter also suspended Sweeney's personal Twitter account for allegedly violating Twitter's rules against "platform manipulation and spam."
Despite these setbacks, Sweeney was not deterred. He reportedly switched to Twitter alternative Mastodon to continue his tracking activities there, with the social media platform tweeting about it, resulting in the account's banning.
He is also publishing the whereabouts of Musk's jet elsewhere, specifically on Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram.
