ADS-B is accessible to anyone online. The site makes use of flight information transmitted by federal law to show thousands of commercial and private aircraft flights all over the world. While Musk has recently begun to claim such tracking poses a security risk, ADS-B addresses that stance on its website.
"If aircraft do not want to be seen, they can always turn their transponders 'off,'" the site says."The position data shown by ADSBexchange is available to anyone who can spend $50 on Amazon and put the parts together. It's not secret. Air Traffic Control voice comms are not encrypted either, and contain similar information."
The billionaire and new Twitter owner does seem to have opted into a program offered by the Federal Aviation Association called Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed, or LADD, in an effort to limit some information about his aircraft. Another website, FlightAware, does not show any flight information for Musk's jet, saying on its website it does soA spokesperson for the FAA and ADS-B Exchange did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The cities where Musk's private jet lands have for years been openly accessible for public viewing through sites that receive and track flight data that is mandated to be transmitted by the FAA.
I hope elonmusk sues you!! How shameful to encourage this after what happened to his son !!
Thought this was a serious business account. Disgusting
Simple question: WTF is the point of this
This is just petty and weird. Be better humans.
Elon Musk is probably one of the world's biggest targets. There are most likely those who would have him killed and or members of his family. It is extremely irresponsible and downright evil to deliberately put him in harm's way.
Good. Business is still Insider 😁
He's not a politician lecturing us about a climate catastrophe that will not happen. So start accurately tracking all the politicians who are.
Why couldn’t we track Hunter Biden’s jet all those times when he visited Burisma? Oh wait could’ve - it was Air Force 2!!!
🫡
What a scumbag move by .. I think we should figure out a way to track whoever runs this Twitter handle!
Byeeee elonmusk
Correction: Elon Musk's private jet is still being tracked by the website ADS-B Exchange. An earlier version of this story stated otherwise.
If he has good skill with good heart then would like to appoint him at suitable position to divert him towards positive. Yet will keep eye on him to... Up till he became decent genuine boy. Kids do such stuff due to 'attention seeker' and other hidden emotional feeding.
Careful, you might get banned.
You are become an utterly deranged publication. Perhaps you should fold and save us your tedious and ridiculous reporting
Damn, a lot of reporters getting banned for this. You all might get banned.
Read the article before complaining. It's public information available to literally anyone. Elon Musk threatened a college student one month after publicly saying he would allow it, without any evidence that that account had anything to do with the incident that Elon alleges.
How about y tracking down and publishing info on BI execs? Good idea?
A once legit media outlet now a far left tool.
Why?
Why? Who gives a f..k? What is wrong with you people?
WTH is wrong with you?!
Sad very Sad
Asking for a friend, will this work for tracking all of Biden's trips to Delaware?
可以看到他的湾流在周三晚上通过ADS-B交易所登陆奥斯汀。
This is creepy and inappropriate. Why publish this knowing tracking such as this put his son in danger? Serious question.
Is this what you do when attacking stoolpresidente doesn’t work?
Why?
