      Why make this comment? You could have just refered to the alphabet and let people assemble the comment themselves.

      Each tweet also shares the approx fuel used, cost of that fuel, and most importantly, CO2 released into the atmosphere with each flight. All that info isn’t as accessible to non flight enthusiasts with only a call sign.

        after further reflection i thought there was in fact more into it than just the name. those calculations won’t figure out on flightradar. interesting take.

      It felt like a statement regarding Elon’s commitment to free speech. The Twitter account was a canary showing if Elon really cares about free speech on his platform or is only just saying it.
