Critics were quick to point out the irony after Musk had previously suspended several account for sharing his real-time location.

New Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted that he was at the FIFA World Cup Qatar final after he had threatened to suspend the accounts of journalists who he claimed were tracking his whereabouts.

His personal beef with the media started specifically with the @ElonJet Twitter account, which revealed the Tesla CEO's personal jet's location using publicly available flight records filed with the FAA.


Musk subsequently suspended high-profile accounts that shared links from @ElonJet, including the account of Twitter's competitor, Mastodon.

On December 14, he had warned about the consequences of publicly giving away anyone's identifiable information, or doxxing, in real-time.

"Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation."
"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."

On Sunday, Musk tweeted his own location in real-time.

Despite the South African billionaire's vexatious promotion of privacy protection, social media users were quick to call out his hypocrisy after he tweeted about being in Doha for the World Cup final match between France and Argentina.


People did a double take.

Users thought there ought to be consequences for his tweet.




Twitter was left shaking its head.





The rules he makes on Twitter are his to break but don't hold your breath for an account suspension any time soon.

According to Wookieepedia (yeah, I went there), the word “clanker” was first used as a slang term because the joints of the droids would, well, clank against their metal bodies.

'South Park' Epically Skewered Trump And Paramount In Their Season Premiere—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

After two years, season 27 of South Park premiered on Wednesday and featured more of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump than most people ever want to see. The 79-year-old POTUS, his attempts to dodge his promise to release the Epstein files, and his frivolous lawsuits—as well as the parties that pay him off—were skewered by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Longtime fans of the show will be disappointed to learn Satan—yes, King of Hell Satan—has gone back to another man who's no good for him. Satan left Saddam Hussein—an abusive and manipulative partner—with the help of Kenny in the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. After his relationship with gentle, caring Chris ended, Satan has gone back to another narcissistic liar—Donald Trump.
