Musk has introduced a new rule for all Twitter users after the incident and said the person setting up the jet tracking account is violating his 'physical safety'
It is not clear what legal action Musk could take against Mr Sweeney for an account that automatically posted public flight information.
"He said this is free speech and he's doing the opposite," the 20-year-old said, as he described waking up to a flood of messages from people who saw @elonjet had been suspended. Started in 2020 when Mr Sweeney was a teenager, the account automatically posted the Gulfstream jet's flights with a map and an estimate of the amount of jet fuel and carbon emissions it expended.
Later, his personal account was also suspended, with a message saying it violated Twitter's rules"against platform manipulation and spam".Do tech giants really own the future?Last year, the University of Central Florida student said Musk sent him a private message offering $5,000 to take the jet-tracking account down, citing security concerns.
For hours after the @elonjet account was suspended, the others were still live, but they have now been blocked.
