I don’t like inconsistency either. The policy is fairly clear. If Musk or another person on Twitter is revealing someone else’s location and Twitter is not applying the policy consistently please provide supporting evidence of this.
I don't need to. Musk himself does it pretty well. The time when he tweeted to his mob to find a guy by posting his face and car number. Just two days ago when he posted a video of himself driving to what he claimed was Zuckerberg's house.
How about the journalist whom Musk doxxed before he bought Twitter? That journalist never reported on anything regarding the jet tracker. Musk still banned her. And all she'd done was post portions of court documents of a case she was involved in, where a witness claims Musk had her devices hacked. Because she'd reported on Tesla.
Is there more than one case where Musk did this? TBH, I wouldn't be surprised, but my internet searches turned up only the one case.
> Was it when the guy attacked a car with his child in it?
Alleged, by Musk, a flagrant liar, who also lied in the very same tweet claiming the jet tracker was responsible. Later analysis of location data from Musk's own posted media showed they weren't taken anywhere close to an airport.
Nevertheless, Musk did doxx a man. Even if the man did stalk and attack his car, that's a matter to be dealt with by law enforcement, not Musk's rabid fanatics on the open internet.
There is still no argument to be made that somehow, doxxing is okay when Musk does it.

> He didn’t make the rules on Twitter before he bought twitter.
He did make the rules after he bought them. Specifically, the one about location revealing. Then he used the rule to shut down the jet tracker — which was not violating the rule, because it only revealed publicly available information. Then he used it to ban journalists — who did not violate the rule, because they only linked to sites containing publicly available information.
Since then, Musk has again doxxed people on Twitter and claimed it wasn't doxxing because he was only revealing publicly available information.
Is that sufficient evidence to show Musk's "rules for thee, but not for me" attitude to you?

I did. Sorry for not citing precise links — I thought this was a settled topic — but I did put enough info in the comment that is easily corroborated by light searching on Google.
