Twitter has suspended an account that tracked Elon Musk's private jet using publicly available data
The @ElonJet account, run by Florida college student Jack Sweeney, had more than half a million followers and used publicly available flight data before it was pulled on Wednesday morning.
It comes despite a tweet by Mr Musk last month, saying: "My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk." When the Tesla and SpaceX CEO completed his takeover of Twitter in late October, he touted himself as a champion of free speech who would put a stop to censorship on the platform and a perceived left-wing bias.
After he gave assurances that he wouldn't suspend @ElonJet, Mr Sweeney replied, thanking the billionaire and explaining that most of the page's followers are supporters of the entrepreneur.
