Yep, and somehow the kid no longer tracks Musk pubilcly. The kid asked for $50,000 to stop putting Musk's plane tracking info on public sites (per the Washington Post today) though Musk supposedly didn't pay (sure, Elon, sure!).
The data is publicly available, yes, but you need to know how to interpret and massage it to get it down to "Taylor Swift's plane is going from X to Y at these times." Which is actual information a stalker can use. Part of her suit against the guy is that stalkers, plural, have turned up at her homes (also plural) at specific times her lawyers say were determined by tracking her travel through this one guy's accounts.
I don't think she'll win, and probably she shouldn't, legally, but I get the concerns involved. And the kid smells like a money-grubber. Who knows what other celebrities he's shaken down successfully, who pay him not to publicize their flights?
