Jack Sweeney’s @ElonJet account is now back on Twitter

Jack Sweeney’s @ElonJet account is now back on Twitter

Twitter last week shut down Jack Sweeney’s @ElonJet account, which monitored Elon Musk’s private plane, and shortly thereafter announced a new policy prohibiting publishing real-time locations. As reported by TechCrunch, Sweeney has since returned with a brand-new account named @ElonJetNexDay that continues to follow Musk’s plane but adds a 24-hour delay to the location.

Sweeney appears to be trying to abide by Twitter’s new policies, which allow sharing “publicly available material after a reasonable time has passed, such that the individual is no longer at risk for physical violence.” However, given that the account has only recently gone live, it is uncertain whether Twitter will share the same opinion. Musk has been keeping an eye on Sweeney and his @ElonJet account for some time. Musk made Sweeney an offer to remove the account in exchange for $5,000 in January, just before he revealed a bid to purchase Twitter. Sweeney declined the offer and demanded $50,000 instead. According to CNBC, @ElonJet has more than 500,000 followers.

The prohibition was implemented when Elon Musk claimed that a stalker in Los Angeles was following a car transporting his son X A-12. Sweeney shortly received a message from Twitter stating that his account “violated Twitter rules,” but without further details. Musk later declared that Sweeney and “organisations who advocated harm to my family” will face “legal action.” Priority rankings will “help minimise the prominence of frauds, spam, and bots,” Twitter support has stated. Some users worry that the new approach will make using it less enjoyable for free users or that paid priority may enable spammers, trolls, and other undesirable individuals in amplifying their messages.

The length limit will increase from 10 minutes and 512MB to 60 minutes and 2GB at up to 1080p resolution under the new video restrictions, but only for web users; Android and iOS users will still be subject to the 10-minute limit. According to Twitter, depending on a viewer’s internet speed, it may “alter or adapt your original video for distribution, syndication, publication or broadcast by us and our partners” or adjust the bitrate/resolution.
