Just a reminder that the data Musk is calling “assassination coordinates” is really just FAA-required public ADS-B airplane position broadcasts.

If you had an ADS-B receiver at your house and his jet flew over, you’d see his tail number in your logs. ADS-B Exchange (the data source used by ElonJet) provides aggregated, unfiltered data from folks who do exactly that.

There’s an FAA program Musk could use to anonymize his plane’s ADS-B broadcasts, but he chooses to play the victim instead.

@nmeans someone I was conversing with said Elon claims to use the PIA program, which I believe is for anonymization. Are you saying that he definitively did not do this?
