July 8 (Reuters) - Jack Sweeney, the creator of an account tracking Elon Musk’s private jet in real time, has moved to Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter-rival Threads after being suspended from Twitter last year.>
“ElonJet has arrived to Threads!” read Sweeney’s first post on Thursday from the account handle @elonmusksjet, which had over 21,000 followers as of Saturday morning.>
ElonJet has tracked the movements of Musk’s private jet using data available in the public domain.>
In December Twitter Inc, owned by Musk, suspended the ElonJet account, with the billionaire threatening legal action against the account’s operator after saying his son had been mistakenly followed by a “crazy stalker”.>
Meta-owned Threads, posing a direct challenge to Twitter, garnered millions of users in hours, including prominent figures such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as it seeks to take advantage of its rival’s weakened state after a series of chaotic decisions from Musk.>
Sweeney, Twitter and Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.> Reporting by Jyoti Narayan in Bengaluru; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama>

it’s been there ever since Elon banned it on his playground, but since you can’t show ads on Mastodon, it doesn’t exist for online reporters.
I think they have an account there as well.
It’s on mastodon.
WHY NOT ZOIDBURG WAWAWA
It’s on mastodon too https://mastodon.social/@elonjet
I think with the entire federation business one should be able to follow it from lemmy too but it’s not working for me. If i got to /u/elonjet@mastodon.social on lemmy then it shows me 0 posts.
Works for me on kbin (at https://kbin.social/u/@elonjet@mastodon.social (note the initial @, which may be a kbin thing))
Lemmy does the Mastodon thing too? Some critter(s) said that was only a kbin thing. Yay confusion! :3
Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t currently support microblogging and I’m not sure whether they plan to.
Thanks, added so I can be amused.
Already there
