And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.
Oh no that would be so sad. Please no.
Putin loves this simple hack
Wait! Think about the children! What if we need to track pedophiles!?
Only poor antifascist trans people are pedophiles dummy. /s
The pedophiles are in power, except “real pedophilia is when the gays do it”.
You mean Republicans? Yeah they won’t allow that, silly
I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.
She still has the carbon footprint of a small country.
She may not be as bad but she’s still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers. Her greed and abuse of the system will always be closer to Elon than any of us
the joke about her being extremely vexatiously litigious around her music too.
She’s more like Elon than any of us will ever be
many people tried to astroturfed she dint come from money,. she literally came from an upper middle class upbringing bordering wealthy. her family moved her to tennessee so she looks “poorer” than she is to her fans.
No. Ethical. Billionaires.
Every day she wakes up and chooses not to solve homelessness in Tennessee.
Anyone who isn’t rich in America can go fuck yourself is what they’ve been saying for a while in words and actions. Millionaires are the middle class today, actors and athletes and pop stars. Anything below is just a fucking scum fuck to them.
millionaires are way above middle class, middle class is usually around depending on area, is 50k-100k.year. millionaires are way above that. they usually buy multimillionaire(5+million) dollar homes, and often sometimes have multiples. actors,c elebrities are hundred millionaires, they are very wealthy individuals, billionaires are just obscene.
You’re missing their point, they’re saying from the point of view of those in power millionaires are middle class.
Although there are some that distinguish a “managerial class” that is in-between the middle class and the billionaires : people like CEOs and such, with net worth in the tens of millions but who are not those who benefit the most from the system and are culturally distinct. I think it’s a useful concept personally, as their interests aren’t necessarily the same as the owner class but they still have a lot of political power.
Oddly, millionaires aren’t really the middle class. House’s in California routinely cost more than a million dollars. And a lot of people probably have a million dollars of retirement in one form or another. (Pensions have a value that very often tops a million). The middle class you are describing (athletes and pop stars) probably are more like 100 million or something. We just don’t have a good name for that.
What the “middle class” can afford has changed quite a bit in the last few decades. Owning a home is arguably “upper class” at this point. The median US income was only $80k in 2023. Pentions are also getting increasingly rare. What used to be considered middle class is now struggling to get by. Middle class is defined by the income of the middle third of the population, not by a particular lifestyle.
Petite bourgeoisie is what they are called. Wealthy people without an aristocratic title, not part of the ruling class and who still use their own labor to create wealth.
Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.
I hope a traffic controller guides Elon’s jet into the tarmac.
even better, accidentally into trumps airforce one.
I undertands Musk’s, but why do we hate taylor swift now?
There 👏 are 👏 no 👏 good 👏 billionaires 👏
It’s mostly about how she uses flights. It’s a waste of energy and a big contributor to pollution when they are taking a whole ass jet for about 5 people to go 30 miles.
Though, personally, I am not really sure if that’s Swift’s call. It’s likely her managers/producers.
Don’t they also charter their planes when they aren’t being used?
Maybe they’re rich people saying fuck y’all, but TBH we’ve been able to keep website registration info private for years, and privacy is such a big thing now, sure why not.
Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public. At a certain point, the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
If they want privacy, they can reregister their planes to an LLC. Having Congress pass this loophole was just Musk’s way of flexing his power over the legislative body.

Sounds like what somebody would say to carefully lay the groundwork for abolishing online anonymity. Computers can cause large scale damage to the public, and they’re cheap!
the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
Why? This “right to know” is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).
And you could probably get it with a subpeona or FOIA request if you really need it. This just stops random people from snooping.
Precisely.
I’m no fan of random billionaires, but I’m a huge fan of privacy.
How wow as if there is a club
Hmmm
Luckily the FAA has no power in europe
These two are the least of out worries now.
Imagine this law in like 1999
AI can still track these fools. Thanks deepseek.
I don’t know why you people all think AI has some magical capabilities. Tracking which aircraft is owned by whom isn’t exactly a complex task if you have the raw data of flight movements (needed for ATC and otherwise independently tracked by plane spotters,…) and people movements.

Edit 2: thanks for all the replies explaining how I should do this right. I don’t think I am smart enough for this. This has been a humbling experience.

You have it the wrong way around. () around the link and [] around the text -> Test123:
I guess I mean you could train ai to do the work so you don’t have to monitor it 24/7You can just paste the link normally. If you want custom text on the link, you do this
[Custom text](https://example.com/)
Renders this
Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn’t accessible to you, then it’s not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at
Although I’m not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

Here you go

How about drones? If you don’t want all of your information avaible online and don’t want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.
Elon now can more easily buy his specialK, lol
all that premium cocaine from columbia.
It’s also for middle class people flying around in single-engine bug smashers
This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don’t care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.
If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?
Huh… Recent context has really ruined jokes like this…
You have to go at it the other way, now:
As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don’t have money, then what will trickle down to me?
Wait no that’s still not funny at all.
