The person who ran automated Twitter accounts that tracked Elon Musk’s and SpaceX’s jets had his personal account suspended Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier on Wednesday, the two jet-tracking accounts owned by Jack Sweeney were suspended and about a half-hour after Mr. Sweeney used his persona account to point this out in protest, that too was gone.
Mr. Sweeney had tweeted out “Well it appears @ElonJet is suspended” around mid-morning, just days after he said that an anonymous employee told him his posts were being covertly suppressed — or “shadow-banned” — by the company.
He said later that afternoon that his account used to track the SpaceX employee jet had also been suspended.
“This is coordinated and Elon is well aware I’m sure,” Mr. Sweeney wrote Wednesday afternoon on his personal account before it was suspended around 2:40 p.m.
Mr. Sweeney, who is a student at the University of Central Florida, began tracking the private jets of many famous figures with automated Twitter accounts in 2020.
