ElonJet is back on Twitter, but now it has a 24

If you want to know where Elon Musk's private jet is right now, you won't find that info on Twitter, due to the company's new policy that prevents posting a private person's location 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 student at University of Central Florida who was behind the original @ElonJet account (now banned), is back with @ElonJetNextDay.

Unlike @ElonJet, which tracked the whereabouts of Musk's private jet in real time, the new account does so with a 24-hour delay, thus possibly circumventing Twitter's new anti-doxxing policy.

The latest tweet from the account, which is less than a day old, says that Musk's plane landed in Oakland, California – yesterday.

Musk likely won't be too happy about it, but he did recently say that "posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem" and is "ok."

Twitter's official policy on this forbids sharing "live location information, including information shared on Twitter directly or links to 3rd-party URL(s) of travel routes, actual physical location, or other identifying information that would reveal a person’s location, regardless if this information is publicly available."

Sweeney originally launched @ElonJet two years ago, irking Musk, who called it a "personal safety risk."

Despite saying that his "commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane," Musk however did ban Sweeney's @ElonJet account after taking 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 writing time, some of those journalists are still banned on Twitter for unclear reasons.
