"SNIP.........

* The student who tracks Elon Musk's private jet is now doing the same for Ron DeSantis's plane.

* Jack Sweeney created a new Twitter account that he said will track the governor's state-owned jet.

* The @DeSantisJet account will tweet with a 24-hour delay to comply with Twitter's privacy rules.

.......SNIP"

9. That kind of stuff used to be frowned upon. Now they flaunt it.

4. I don't like the delay.

He’s a public figure.

[Pinback]

10. And Twitter is a private platform.

So Musk makes the rules.

ETA: To clarify, I’m not saying I approve. Just that Twitter policy doesn’t have to comply with the First Amendment or journalistic standards.

5. Tough task

Sounds like it won’t much matter if he’s just tracking a single jet, given DESANTIS is using donor’s jets.

6. There's always Mastodon, the Bat Cave and Roseanne Roseannaddana

among many alternatives. Twitter is not the chocolate cake.

7. can't find the link but read a story today where big GOP donors complain of routinely

getting calls from DeSantis staff with a demand to use the private jet

8. I think something may happen when he officially runs next week where

he can't accept "gifts" frim rich people over a certain amount so he will have to charter a jet or, if allowed, use the Governor one. That is a guess in my part. I was skim reading an article.
