Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can now hide details of their private jets/// Private aircraft owners can now ask the FAA to keep their registration information out of the public eye.

Wait! Think about the children! What if we need to track pedophiles!?
Only poor antifascist trans people are pedophiles dummy. /s
You mean Republicans? Yeah they won't allow that, silly
The pedophiles are in power, except "real pedophilia is when the gays do it".
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
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.
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.
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.
This doesn't do anything, all these aircraft are already in trusts. You can still track them, the N number/ICAO ID is what people are using
This is actually most helpful to the little guys that own $20,000 airplanes.
I have a small airplane and it's always bothered me that my name and address are publicly accessible through the FAA registry.
Most pilots I know are careful about photos they publish online showing their tail number printed in large bold letters on either side of the aircraft. This registration number can be entered into websites like flightaware.com and someone is literally two clicks from seeing my full name and home address.
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.
It's also for middle class people flying around in single-engine bug smashers
Elon now can more easily buy his specialK, lol
all that premium cocaine from columbia.
Well then...
As a #SovereignCitizen, I will not comply with FAA drone laws 😏
Bonus points: Y'all can use an app called Rattlegram to convert a sting of text into audio that can be played over amateur radio. And if you encrypt the text beforehand using encryption tools such as Secure Space Encryptor (known as Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS), or Open PGP (both are open source), before pasting the ciphertext into Rattlegram (also open source), you have encrypted off-grid communications.
This is #Murica! The president can ignore laws. So can we. 😎
Luckily the FAA has no power in europe
Honestly, I think this will be a bigger boon to folks like Elevated Access than to the billionaires of the world. Makes it a little harder for some chud who doesn't like what they're doing to show up at a pilot's home with a rifle.
Glad to hear there is a good thing to come out of this
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.
I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.
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 still has the carbon footprint of a small country.
No. Ethical. Billionaires.
Every day she wakes up and chooses not to solve homelessness in Tennessee.
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.
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.
(I guess I mean you could train ai to do the work so you don’t have to monitor it 24/7)
That's just awesome 😬😬😬😬
I undertands Musk's, but why do we hate taylor swift now?
There 👏 are 👏 no 👏 good 👏 billionaires 👏
mostly because shes been promoting what her fans believe, and now she seen as a hypocrite for that. she did. hers a little more complex.
