Where do I get the location of Elon Musk's private jet?

Question

Given that he has banned the Twitter account that tracked his private jet, I wondered if anyone knew where the account got its data from.

Answer 1

The new microblogging account is on Mastodon:

https://mastodon.social/@elonjet

However, the data is and always has been coming from https://ADSBExchange.com

While free to see on the website, ADSBExchange's data is not actually strictly open in API nor download form:

Commercial Usage Terms

As noted in the legal terms and conditions, commercial (for profit or non-profit organization) use requires written authorization from ADS-B Exchange. This is necessary to ensure operating this site remains financially viable and continues to provide unfiltered global tracking services.

Commercial users are required to contact ADSBexchange for a commercial data license agreement. While our pricing is far less than other “big” providers, the technical infrastructure for running a site of this scale does require ongoing funds to support it.

No bulk resale or redistribution is permitted without consent from ADSBexchange.com.

Global low latency access is available with a commercial usage agreement.
