Additionally, the promise not to ban the account (which is very much on public record) should not have been made if such was the case - there's also the way the ban was carried out and transparently justified post-hoc, as well as the attempted subsequent doxxing of someone he claimed was an alleged stalker, all covered in the Vice article beyond this link.(12-16-2022, 11:33 AM)Umbire Wrote: On the note of that, I've been trying to make sure that my edits regarding the ElonJet controversy doesn't step outside the bounds of anything that was already reported.

Basically, he paid for his official tracking information to be off the books. Of course, this does not mean someone cannot use other data to figure out what jet is his own, but the official tracking data is hidden due to a service he paid for to make that so. I'm not entirely clear on all the specifics of this, but I do believe it wise to point out this information as well.
