It's easy if the plane is flying into a small airport with very little traffic (like SMO)


view as:

In that case you can just camp outside it and wait for his plane to land, which a determined stalker would do.

That's pretty much what happened[0] (given the PIA situation with changing plane numbers mentioned elsewhere in the thread), with the only difference that the person camping out and watching out for the plane didn't do the stalking of the car ride afterwards themselves. They just reported the data on the flight landing, it got publicly updated on the tracker, and then another person (who actually approached the car later, according to Elon's claim) stalked them using the info posted on the tracker.

[0]. Assuming the allegations about it happening are true.


Nope. As previously stated many times in this and the other discussions, the aircraft is not part of PIA and the accurate hex code is reported on the FAA site.

ElonJet didn’t tweet anything on the day this incident occurred, so that part is false too.


Sure, I am not claiming that this is what happened. My explanation of how it could easily work relies on the assumption that the aircraft was a part of PIA and that the events described actually happened. If his aircraft wasnt a part of PIA and the event never actually happened, it obviously all goes out of the window.
