Looks like they suspended the personal account of its creator, Jack Sweeney, as well.

That didn't seem to do much to deter the guy. Look at how many accounts he has:

He's on Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and... Truth Social?! Ew.

If it's any consolation, he has a corresponding TrumpJet on Truth Social.

That does make me feel a little bit better, yes :)

I agree with this decision. what is the idea of tracking these private jets?

  • bring visibility to bourgeois parasites doing environmental damage
  • make bourgeois parasites feel uncomfortable
  • highlight the hollowness of Elon's free speech gesturing by getting banned from Twitter

These are all great goals if you ask me.

I don't see any good reason yet. using your computer or smart phone to tweet make damage to environment if you are not aware. the other reasons, i don`t know. still not good.

If it's pointless then why go out of your way to ban it? There's already way more pointless accounts on Twitter than helpful ones. The fact that he did is extremely telling.
