Air traffic information is already publicly available. The author of the bot simply scrapes data for Elon's Jet. You can use websites like FlightAware, Flightradar24, and PlaneLogger that provide real-time tracking of flights, including private jets. You can also search for specific aircraft or view flights in a particular area. I remember shortly after Elon bought Twitter he got the account suspended.

and worth noting that by “publicly available” here, it’s not like it’s published on some FAA API: ADS-B is broadcast from all aircraft, and anyone can receive its data… these services run by networks for regular members of the public contributing the data from their ADS-B receivers

So you're telling me it's only a matter of time before Skum orders his pilots to go dark and cease broadcasting, and then they're going to hit a jet liner full of families trying to escape his corporate hell.
