Twitter CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> banned a Twitter account on Wednesday that he previously stated he would not ban, and then he unbanned the account after facing public backlash only to re-ban the account a short time later.
Musk said that the decision to ban Jack Sweeney, a sophomore at the University of Central Florida, was based on security concerns, which appears to be the same <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-will-not-sign-autographs-ever-again-as-he-warns-assassination-risk-is-quite-significant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reason</a> why he will no longer sign autographs for fans.
&#8220;My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk,&#8221; Musk tweeted back in November.

Sweeny created the account @ElonJet because he thought &#8220;it’d be cool to track how Musk managed his business empire,&#8221; The Washington Post reports.
Musk banned the account, banned Sweeney&#8217;s personal account several hours later, and then <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/14/23509817/twitter-elonjets-ban-creator-jack-sweeney-links-trackers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a> &#8220;dozens of other accounts he operates.&#8221;
Musk then unbanned @ElonJet for a short period of time before re-banning the account later in the afternoon.
Musk also banned the ability of Twitter users to post links to Sweeney&#8217;s other accounts on other social media platforms.

Twitter then changed its policies surrounding posting private information.
&#8220;When someone shares an individual’s live location on Twitter, there is an increased risk of physical harm,&#8221; the company tweeted. &#8220;Moving forward, we’ll remove Tweets that share this information, and accounts dedicated to sharing someone else’s live location will be suspended.&#8221;

Musk then tweeted that the new policy happened because he claimed that there was an incident involving a stalker and his son.
&#8220;Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info. Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem, so is ok.&#8221;
&#8220;Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving &amp; climbed onto hood,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Legal action is being taken against Sweeney &amp; organizations who supported harm to my family.&#8221;

Some of Musk&#8217;s biggest fans, who Musk responds to, like Whole Mars Catalog, urged the billionaire to stop what he was doing.
&#8220;Elon, he is just a kid. Don’t take legal action against him,&#8221; the account tweeted. &#8220;It’s bad press + the streisand effect. I understand you must be angry when the safety of your kid is being put at risk, but still dealing with Greenspan I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through that.&#8221;
