'Cool free speech': Internet divided as Elon Musk vows to sue Jack Sweeney after man stalks son X's car
SAN FRANSISCO, CALIFORNIA: Elon Musk suspended Jack Sweeney's account, Elon Jet, on Twitter after a man reportedly stalked and climbed on the hood of the car his child was traveling in. The Twitter CEO claimed that his two-year-old son, X, was followed by a stalker in Los Angeles on Tuesday, December 13.
Musk also posted a short video of the stalker on his account. The person was seen wearing a black hood and driving a white Hyundai. The tweet stated, "Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood. Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family."

In a follow-up tweet, he added a video of the stalker and asked, " Anyone recognize this person or car?" In a now-deleted tweet, he also claimed, "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." However, It is unclear how Musk connected Sweeney's account to the incident, but both the account and Sweeney's personal account were suspended. Sweeney was famous for his account as it tracked the Tesla owner's jet and he was a fan too. However, in 2021, he was offered $5,000 to take down the account.
