Twitter suspends accounts tracking Elon Musk’s jet and the man behind it

Twitter Inc. suspended multiple accounts that track the locations of private jets using publicly available flight data, including one that followed the plane of the company’s owner, Elon Musk.

Musk publicly declared last month that he would not ban the account even though he saw it as a safety risk, saying that it was evidence of his commitment to free speech.

Early Wednesday morning in New York, the @elonjet page showed a message that read “account suspended” because it violated the platform’s rules. The account had been operated since 2020 by Jack Sweeney, who also ran other Twitter accounts that tracked the private jets of Mark Zuckerberg and other celebrities.
