Elon Musk's Twitter Rival Threads Sparks Controversy with Assassination Coordinates
Meta has suspended the Instagram and Threads account, @elonmusksjet, which tracked the whereabouts of Elon Musk's private jet in near-real-time. The account's creator, Jack Sweeney, used publicly available flight data to share the information. Meta was previously aware of the account's existence on Instagram and is investigating whether the suspension was a mistake. The account had previously been suspended on Twitter, prompting Sweeney to create a new account that shows the location of Musk's jet on a 24-hour delay. Threads is a new app by Meta that competes with Twitter, and Meta has faced legal threats from Twitter for allegedly using former employees and trade secrets to develop the app.
