    I suppose if you were in competition with Musk you could brag about being in first place, but if you're not even in the leagues of millionaires pointing out the standing of billionaires is :roflol:.

    Of course it's doxxing. Doxxing is publishing information about a private citizen.

    If you buy a house that information is also available to anyone who wants it. You still aren't allowed to share the address from public records on Twitter.

    I Don't Care Who He Bans...
    He Paid $44 Billion to be The World's Biggest Internet Troll...
    More Power to him, he can do what he wants with Twitter...
    BUT, there is nothing wrong with pointing out the Hypocrisy of that Nitwit...

    I like what Musk had to say about it.

    "If anyone posted real-time locations & addresses of NYT reporters, FBI would be investigating, there’d be hearings on Capitol Hill & Biden would give speeches about end of democracy!"

    Obviously you do. It's apparent that it pisses you off.

    The Leftists had total control over the narrative. They lost that control and their losing their minds over it...lol

    I understand people hate Musk because he upended the circle jerk on Twitter. But, leave his kid out of it. His kid should not have to live in fear because NY Times reporters (and others) want to keep publishing his location from individuals who wish harm on the Musk family.

    I keep being reminded (every time leftists criticize Musk) of the saying: "If they didn't have double standards they'd have no standards."

    For starters, I don't use Twitter. Second, there is a plethora of other platforms on both sides of the political spectrum. But, conservative platforms such as Truth Social, Parlor, and others that do not have advertising are not going anywhere and they have not increased their usage or members in any significant increase. Furthermore, those that are on Twitter are slowly leaving and going to other platforms. Those that are content creators are staying where they are now: TikTok, YT, IG, and FB. So, this is the perfect storm for Musk.

    Musk just needs to take a step back, get rid of the political agenda, and go full business mode and he will probably make Twitter better, IMHO.

    You will have a better chance in a lucky encounter at LAX to see someone famous than on a private or commercial plane. Some do use commercial aircraft and fly first class. Some use private jets. But the most important thing is their itinerary, which you refer to in your example with Brett Cavenaugh, is kept private. So, you are pretty much grasping at straws here.

    He was in a committed relationship with someone when he had an affair. But the point was that a hotel or any other brick-and-mortar place where he is going is what doxxing really means if you know where he will be and at what time. But with aircraft, that is not the case, even if he owns the plane.

    So, he is doxxing himself to try to get more posts going on Twitter?

    If he is providing the information of where he is and where he is going, that is extremely foolish on him. He is not some cult leader. He is a private business person and he could have his business deals torpedoed by the competition if he is not too careful.

    Major Airports and most private airports are some of the most secure places in this country. you are directed into only the areas where you have access to, generally the public areas before the security apparatuses can scan you. With private planes, you have to go into the general aviation area and you are only allowed to pass if you show identification AND have business purposes in which you must prove before they let you in. So, it is highly unlikely that will occur given the amount of security. And Musk is not going to land any an airport that is not secure at all, which means those major airports with their own security, along with local law enforcement and some FEDS, and the large private airports that have their own security and some local law enforcement.

    But Musk is the one providing the information on his whereabouts on the Twitter Platform, according to his argument. If he is stupid enough to do that, then you can't fault the person for following that information, or reporting it in a journalistic manner, can you.

    You can't have it both ways here.

    Right; not exactly a terrible tumble.
    Still, worth noting.

    Good luck with that...:bored:
    EXCEPT:
    Musk just Suspended an Investigative Journalist (Linette Lopez) who had NOTHING to do with "doxing"...
    Linette Lopez said she hadn’t tweeted details about the location of Musk’s private jet—his stated rationale for other suspensions.
    So much for that "I only ban them for doxing" Bullshit...
    Musk's Conduct is becoming Completely Indefensible...
    Tragically, he has figured out a way to Con People (The "Hey Lookie! Left Bad!" Crowd) into carrying his dirty water...:smdh:

    "She said" Except she most likely did as did all of the rest who got banned. Twitter is a private company and these users violated TOS. End of story. Too bad.

    Since you don't use Twitter, then you really have no idea how bad it was or what state it is currently in and how much better it is. So why even comment about the platform as if you have working knowledge of it? Because you don't, according to your own words.

    Elon Musk has no plitical agenda in this other than to expose the far left agenda it previously had and to correct the wrongs committed and to stop the biased disinformation and The FBI from polluting it's site. As well as getting rid of the far left bots that seemed to push impressions to favored accounts. Also, Musk owns other companies and is the 2nd richest man in the world, he doesn't need someone liek YOU telling him anything. He'll be just fine without listening to your advice.

    Total SNOWFLAKE...
    Claimed the previous suspensions had to do with "doxing" as the "stated reason"...
    Now, he has moved onto suspending anybody (with NO "stated reason") who posts anything negative about him...
    Musk = Giving Trump some competition for The Title of World's Biggest Snowflake...

    Fake News. He stated the reason why they got suspended right after he suspended them all. Go read it.
