If you want to know the current location of Elon Musk’s private jet, you won’t find that information on Twitter, due to the company’s new policy preventing the location of a private person from being posted in real time. .
But now, if you really must, you can find out where Musk’s jet was exactly 24 hours ago.
Jack Sweeney, the University of Central Florida student who was behind the original @ElonJet account (now banned), is back with @ElonJetNextDay.
Unlike @ElonJet, which tracked the location of Musk’s private jet in real time, the new account does so with a 24-hour delay, possibly circumventing Twitter’s new anti-doxxing policy.
The last Tweeter of the account, which is less than a day old, says Musk’s plane landed in Oakland, Calif., yesterday.

Musk probably won’t be too happy about it, but he recently said that “showing places someone has been with a slight delay is not a security issue” and “ok.”
from Twitter official policy in this regard prohibits the sharing of “live location information, including information shared directly to Twitter or links to third-party URLs of travel itineraries, actual physical location or other identifying information that would reveal a person’s location, whether that information is made publicly available.”
Sweeney originally launched @ElonJet two years ago, irritating Musk, who called it a “personal security risk”.
Although he said his “commitment to free speech even goes so far as not to ban the account following my plane”, Musk did, however, ban Sweeney’s @ElonJet account after he took over Twitter, citing an incident with a “crazy stalker”. Musk’s Twitter also banned the accounts of a number of journalists who covered Sweeney’s story. At the time of writing, some of these journalists are still banned from Twitter for unclear reasons.
